The lather dissipates. Its improper to think that the suds contain all the surfactant (soap) https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Surfactant Most mild surfactants like this are made out of gentle oils, like Castle soap is made out of. The lather can be very rich, but not be irritating, and not sustain long life bubble or stickiness in the end. A surfactant like this generally needs a towel to clean off the grime on your body, that's why a sponge bath is generally recommended. Buts its just as good to lather your arms and legs with it then wipe them down with a clean towel. Then your torso and lower body - again wipe down with a damp towel towel. You could go the water route though, and full rinse with a sponge, which isn't a bad idea. I'm just trying to get across to you, that this ISN'T soap as you have come to know it :) However, and most interesting and awesome of all, it works JUST as good as soap, which is something in itself :) I really like the hair product of this type. No rinse shampoo. And they have a spray shampoo (no rinse as well), called 'Psssssst' (yes, with all those s's! I have a can in front of me, it has exactly that many s's - anyway, its goes great with the watery no-rinse shampoo that Allegro sells here - the smell reminds me of OLD time barber shops - its a smell that will bring back memories, and clean and deodorize your hair just as well as any expensive salon bought shampoo - without all the harsh chemicals that pull all the necessary vitamin and mineral coating of natural oils out of your hair - making it dry and brittle (which only makes you want to buy more expensive gunk to make your hair fuller and "with more body".
