Liquid soap with moisturizer a chatzitzah?

December 23, 2014

Question

They have changed the soap available at the mikveh. The new liquid soap has moisturizer in it. Is that a problem?

Answer

Most soaps nowadays have moisturizers added to prevent drying out your skin. As long as you rinse the soap off well, any residue left on your skin is not considered a chatzitzah and does not invalidate your tevilah.
