I actually asked a fellow traveller on trip advisor if I needed to buy that salt-water soap for the shower on Gili T!
However the water in the shower is fresh and they have a system at Scallywags with a desalination plant and they say that the water in the bathroom tap is ok to brush your teeth.
I am normally paranoid about brushing my teeth with bottled water, but after talking to Nigel (the owner) I did use the tap water and no problems at all.
They provided lovely soap and shampoo too, so we didn't need to take that in our small back packs either.
I guess it depends where you stay on Gili T, but I can assure you that the water is fresh at Scallywags.
