Does anyone know how I can get the original Pears soap in the US?

Asked by geeky_mama (8930points) April 15th, 2011

I love the original (200 year old recipe) Pears soap. It has been my old stand-by for years, and I used to pick some up on every international trip, or buy batches online.
Back in 2009 apparently the parent company (Unilever) outsourced the manufacture of the soap to a company in Mumbai and simultaneously CHANGED the ingredients (and added a bunch of harsh, foul smelling chemicals). Now if I attempt to order online via Amazon I only ever receive the nasty version (chemical-laden Indian manufactured version) of the soap.

I hear as of March the original version is available in the UK again… Does anyone know of a way to get this imported to the US, or a retailer who sells online in the US the truly ORIGINAL (not yucky chemical-y) version of the Pears soap?
