    Default Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood Soap

    Just won a refill puck of C&E Sandalwood

    Wondering if I might have an older formulation?

    Box is burgundy with a "gold" circle with picture showing an elephant lifting a log in front of what looks like the Taj Mahal. Copyright info is dated 1978.

    Ingredients:
    Sodium Palmate,
    Potassium Palmate,
    Sodium Palm Kernelate,
    Water,
    Glycerin,
    Potassium Palm Kernelate,
    Stearic Acid,
    Fragrance,
    Isopropyl Myristate,
    Tetrasodium EDTA,
    Sodium Chloride,
    BHT,
    Tetrasodium Etidronate,
    Pentasodium Pentetate,
    Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891),
    D & C Yellow No. 10 (CI 47005),
    Iron Oxides (CI 77491 CI 77492 CI 77499).

    No mention of the Vitamin E mentioned on C&E's site.

    The scent isn't overpowering but SWMBO did go "mmmm nice" when I opened it!

    Looks like it will fit perfectly in my spare OS mug

    Not sure which one is that but the newer formulation is much better soap and scent. I have a newer one but cant remember what the main ingredients were. For the best results I've found with this particular puck is use a stiff brush.

    I get great results with C&E Sandalwood shaving soap, but I like the scent of the Sienna better.

    That's the new formulation, non tallow based soap. Wonderful scent, subpar performer IMO.

    Edit: I just noticed when quoting, capitalization disappears. Odd...

    Thanks for that Anthony. Will try it and if I need to, I can add a spot of Palmolive cream.
