By calling it "saponified coconut oil", soap manufacturers (especially organic) can probably avoid consumer shock - (the chemical sounds really nasty). It's also not legally necessary to include it on the label once it has been processed into soap.

I currently have the almond one, but I've tried the lavender one too. They're fantastic for cleaning around the house, my work surfaces have never looked so shiny. I love not having to use synthetic cleaners anymore. I once tried it as a shampoo, but that didn't work out so well... I couldn't get it out of my hair until I'd used my regular shampoo three times and done a vinegar rinse. I also use it as a hand and body wash. I find it very economical, especially with the variety of sizes available. Ooh, I love Dr Bronner’s soaps! I currently have the almond one, but I’ve tried the lavender one too.
