Hello,

Yes, with change of chemical formula, there can be irritation to skin and it may cause irritant contact dermatitis.

My suggestions are as follows:
1)You need to do a patch test before applying the soap to whole body. Apply it to a small area of skin on your forearm and wait for 5 min, if there is redness or rash or any irritation, it means you are allergic to that soap.
2) It's better to avoid using that soap.
3) Using any other soap that contains good amount of Glycerine is better.
4) You can complain against the company.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
