Irish Spring

Irish Spring® is a brand of soap first introduced in Germany and Europe in 1970. The distinctively scented bars made their first appearance in the US just 2 years later. For decades, Irish Spring® soap was only available in bars with a single fragrance. A lot has changed since then. Today, there are several varieties of the original Irish Spring®. Your options include the original fragrance bar, a charcoal-based bar and a fragrant soap made with aloe. Irish Spring® also makes body washes and a Men's 5-in-1 product for hair, face and body.

Many bar soaps and body washes use chemical fragrances to mask unpleasant odors. Irish Spring®, a product made by Colgate Palmolive, is different. Irish Spring® provides 12-hours of continuous odor protection in addition to its fresh, clean scent. Irish Spring® products formulated with the brand's clinically proven Odor Neutralizing Technology give you 24 hours of continuous protection. Irish Spring® Odor Neutralizing Technology eliminates odors at the source.

All soap has the ability to kill viruses and bacteria. But not all soaps contain ingredients specifically selected to eliminate bacteria. Although the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) stresses that antibacterial soap is no more effective than standard products, many people feel more confident knowing their soap eliminates odor-causing bacteria from the surface of their skin. The Irish Spring® product line includes a sport strength antibacterial bar soap. In handwashing tests, antibacterial Irish Spring® bar soap eliminated 99.9% of potentially harmful (E. coli) bacteria.
