Irish Spring Icy Blast Deodorant Bar Soap

Icy Blast is a colder scent, not a new company.

The bar range lists SKU 114171 beside a 98 percent naturally derived formula. Parabens, phthalates and gluten are left out. The brand has been around for more than 50 years.

Colgate-Palmolive puts Irish Spring in its personal care list. The brand country is the United States, and the first market was Germany in 1970. Canada is not named as a factory.

Cartons are 90 percent recycled paperboard, including 60 percent post-consumer fibre. A sink wash on the FAQ is 20 seconds.
