Soapwalla

If you’re having problems with wrinkles, eczema, or even poor circulation Soapwalla claims to have just the solution. But the FDA took issue with its marketing for its serums and soaps.

Among the claims on the company website are that its Rosewood, Cedar and Clay Soap Bar contains essential oils that can help prevent break-outs and alleviate acne, scars, eczema, psoriasis and wrinkles and its Concentrated Repair Balm has horse chestnut that minimizes varicose veins and leads to improved circulation

The agency sent a warning letter to Soapwalla that such claims are illegal and that the marketing renders the product as an unapproved new drug.

Remember, readers, marketing supplements as having the ability to treat, cure, alleviate the symptoms of, or prevent developing diseases and disorders is not permitted by law. If a health product really could do all that, then it would be a drug subject to rigorous study and testing to gain FDA approval.
