What’s with all the food in soap these days? I can understand walnut shell or coffee grounds to help “exfoliate,” but we've gone way beyond that. Last night I was looking around my friend’s bathroom and saw liquid soap with pomegranate, a bar of soap with watercress and chai tea, face wash with melon, body wash with goat's milk, and shampoo with fried chicken. Last week I saw a bar of soap with an entire piece of toast in it. Sure, I'm opposed to putting harsh chemicals on or in my body, but avocado is not soap—it's food. Are we so obsessed with the idea of getting back to nature that we won't buy anything unless it has essence of extract of all-natural fruity froo-frooy goodness? At the rate we're going, soon we'll all be washing ourselves with smoothies. Come on.
