One hefty, lime-colored bar of Peace Soap lasts through several weeks of showers or baths. Its vegetable-based formula contains aloe and glycerin for gentle cleansing. The scent includes mint, which is one of my favorite head-clearing essences, as well as an indefinable blend of other leafy green notes…
