I'm really curious about using barium sulfate soap for hair removal at home. Is it safe for the skin? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Using barium sulfate soap for hair removal at home is not safe for the skin. It can cause irritation, dryness, and even chemical burns. I recommend avoiding its use and opting for safer hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams."
