Clarins goes Eco?

I know many of you have a stigma about going back to bar soap, but let this excite you.
Clarins, a line that's available at pretty much every department store, is now selling an organic soap. It's Eco-Cert certified and has a very gentle ingredient list. It is very similar, ingredient-wise, to the Suki soap. Here are the ingredients:
Sodium Palmate*, Sodium Palm Kernelate*, Water, Fragrance, Shea Butter*, Hazel Seed Oil*, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Ultramarines, Iron Oxides, Limonene, Linalool, Citral
* are ingredients that are produced by organic farming according to EU regulations.
I bought one of the bars today and I have to say -- it still feels a little scummy (I'm a guy; It reminds me of washing with Irish Spring), but it does not irritate my rosacea or acne. I have no need for a moisturizer after washing with it.
It's good stuff. :)
Kiehl's also makes a few Eco-Cert certified products. I'm not a Vegan (yet, though Alicia's recipes are converting me...slowly) but I believe this product should be vegan.
Thanks for the tip :) I'm definitely going to check it out. :)
