Even if you love the bottles of liquid soap, don’t toss the bar out with the bathwater. Go ahead and hide a couple of aromatic bars in the back of the linen closet, and get a few for your home or office. They’re always good to have “on hand.” Also, did you know they can keep your drawers and doors from squeaking? Here are some of our favorite soap bars that we think make the cut.
Longtime standard
The tagline for this soap is that it’s made from 1⁄4 moisturizing cream. But you can really feel the difference with how it glides on your skin. If you’ve got sensitive skin then you know how hard it is to find a soap that doesn’t make you itchy, dry, and uncomfortable. That’s why we love these Dove Sensitive Beauty Bars. With a set of 16 bars, you will have enough to share, but only if you want to. Skin doctors recommend these bars because of their mild cleansing agents, and they’re free from fragrances or harsh ingredients.
Organic botanicals
The organic botanicals, including lavender oil, hydrate skin in the shower or bath. When you lather with this, the gorgeous aroma wafts all over the house. We love that this all-natural soap is paraben free. Why? What are parabens anyhow? We don’t want to absorb them because they can act like hormones in your body. And nobody wants those extra preservatives on their skin, either. But everyone appreciates the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich argan oil, and the shea which is a nut butter.
Addicting combination
Not just women appreciate these luxurious, richly scented soaps. Men do, too, since the bars have deep aromas that are not fake, sweet, or overly-floral fragrances. These vegan soaps are made from plant oils and fats, not animal products, so you can feel good about using, sharing, and even giving, these specialty soaps. We love that we can pronounce all the ingredients – coconut, palm, olive, avocado, and essential oils. That’s it. Nothing fake, synthetic, or even hard to pronounce.
Non-traditional pick
Gentle enough for your face and strong enough for all the rest of you. This body bar is not only a moisturizing cream, it also contains no soap or fragrances. We love how the oils soften the skin. Even sensitive skin, oily and dry skin, and acne-prone skin. It’s so non-irritating that eczema sufferers should find this option appealing.
A cleansing option
No matter what your skin needs, one of these six specialized skin bars will provide what you need. From little scrubbers to invigorating tea tree oil, they give you all kinds of ways to massage your skin. These soaps have great aromas, colors, traits, and even packaging. The ingredients are sourced from cruelty-free and sustainable sources. Triple-milled soaps are hard and last a long time, so you can enjoy these gift-quality soaps for months.
