Its emollient action ensures the skin of a permanent softness and delicacy of color, and exercises a protective influence that keeps it in perfect condition. Pears is all solid soap purity and goodness having no water mixed with it. and being unaffected by heat or cold. Since 1789 Pears has been the Mother's Soap of the world.
