Bar Soap

The range runs from Dove Beauty Bars to natural men's soaps from Dr. Squatch and Duke Cannon, castile bars from Dr. Bronner's, French triple-milled soaps from Pre de Provence, goat milk and shea butter bars, and exfoliating and brightening bars. Many listings are multi-packs, and most cost between £25 and £41.

Triple-milled soap is harder and lasts longer in the shower. Cold-process soaps keep more of their natural glycerine and suit drier skin. Compare the bar weight and the number of bars when looking at price, and keep soap on a draining dish so it dries between uses.

Frequently asked questions

Is bar soap better than body wash?

Both clean well. Bar soap uses less packaging and often lasts longer, while body wash can feel more moisturising. It comes down to preference and skin type.

What does triple-milled mean?

The soap is passed through rollers three times, which removes air and water, making a dense, smooth bar that lasts longer and lathers evenly.

Are there bar soaps for sensitive skin?

Yes. Look for unscented or fragrance-free bars and gentle beauty bars. Check the full ingredient list on the product page.
