Fragrance is a result, not an ingredient. i want to know what they added to make that smell, and why they won't go back to the original.

The megaconglomerate UNILEVER bought out Pears Original back in the early 2000's. Then, in 2003, the European Community decided to make a change across the board to show EVERY ingredient in products that had a 'lesser amount of product that was .0001% or more' had to be listed due to the new EC mandate.2003 change:On February 27, 2003, The 7th Amendment to the EU Cosmetics Directive (Directive 2003/15/EC) introduced a new legal requirement related to the labelling of 26 specific ingredients if present in a cosmetic product above the following concentration thresholds: 0.001% (10 mg/kg) for leave-on products and 0.01% (100 mg/kg) for rinse-off products.The labelling requirement is linked to the presence of the substance in concentrations higher than the above-mentioned thresholds, irrespective of the substance's function and irrespective of its source (i.e. whether added as such or as a component of a complex cosmetic ingredient such as botanical extracts, essential oils, fragrance compositions, aroma composition etc.).Unilever was required to list those of the 26 specific ingredients which were present in Pears in concentrations greater than 0.01%. Benzyl benzoate, Cinnamal, Eugenol, Limonene and Linalool were included in the labelling because they are among the 26 ingredients covered by Directive 2003/15/EC. It is therefore possible that they were components of the original formula, rather than newly added ingredients.Then in 2009, due to "cost imperatives", Unilever decided to:2009 change:A bar of Pears 'Gentle Care' soap.In October 2009, the formula for the transparent amber soap was altered from the original to become 'Gentle Care', and wrapped in an inner cellophane covering. The new soap was slightly softer in texture and lasted half as long, but its most noticeable difference was its scent. The aroma of the classic transparent amber bar, which used to be characterized by a mild, spicy herbal fragrance, had been altered to a stronger aromatic scent. The "Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic" claim was dropped, and the 3-month aging process described on the original box does not appear on the box of the 'Gentle Care' formula.On 6 January 2010, after a Facebook campaign, it was reported in the media that Pears planned to abandon the new formula and that by March 2010 a new version would be available that is "much closer to the original".12 On 8 January 2010, it was reported in the media that Pears would not abandon the new formula but "make further improvements, by delivering a scent that more closely resembles the original formula. However, this has not occurred.So, in essence, the "formula never really changed", the European law dictated that "every ingredient had to be shown on the lable". Hence the confusionover the "Pears formula", it's the same formula that's been used for years.

is this real Original Pears Transparent Soap?

We've been using Pears soap for over twenty years, and do not think it has changed. Our skin is sensitive to other soaps with fragrances and made with many different additives.

I'd like to know if the ingredients listed on the box are the same as the list advertised on this page as well.

The ingredients listed on the box are: Water, Sodium Palm Kemelate, Sorbitol, Sodium Rosinate, Sodium Palmate, Glycerin, Sodium Stereate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, PEG-4, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Sodium metabisulfite, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium EDTA, BHT, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf (Rosemary) Extract, D&C Yellow No. 10 (Cl47005), D&C Red No. 33 (Cl17200).These ingredients listed are obviously many more than the 7 ingredients listed on the page.

Honest answer needed. What is the *current* ingredient list?

I recommend you check it out yourself, but here is what I find on the package. Did my best to copy this accurately, so do check yourself. Ingredients water, palm kernelate, sorbitol, sodium rosin ate, sodium palmate, glycerin, sodium steam ate, propylene glycol, sodium laurel sulfate, PEG-4, alcohol denat, sodium chloride, fragrance, sodium metabisulfite, tetrasodium etidronate, tetrasodium EDTA, BHT, thymus vulgarisms (thyme) extract, rosemary us, official is leaf (Rosemary) extract, D&C yellow No. 10, D&C red no. 33.
