Best Way to Read Body Odor in This Hard Water
All who perspire freely know that bathing gives only temporary relief from body odor. A 100 percent pure vegetable oil Kirk's Coco Castile soap breaks into bubbly lather in hard water and penetrates pores to remove stale perspiration, ending odor at its source. The soap is odorless and larger than ordinary soaps, priced lower than before, and available at grocers.
