5 Reasons to Choose Bar Soap...

In a world full of body washes and shower gels, it’s easy to overlook the original bar of soap. But we're here to remind you 5 reasons why soap is not just the simpler option, but the smarter one. And if you're going to choose soap, we believe there's something truly special about choosing our soap. So here's our breakdown of why bar soap is making a clean comeback.

1. Hygiene: Soap Just Works Better

When it comes to keeping your hands and body clean, nothing beats the tried-and-tested power of bar soap. Unlike many liquid washes that rely heavily on fragrance and foaming agents to feel effective, traditional soap combined with proper handwashing techniques actually removes bacteria more effectively.

The physical act of scrubbing with soap helps dislodge germs and reduces the risk of contamination - something even science agrees with. Studies show bar soap, when used properly, is as effective (if not more) than many liquid cleansers at removing harmful microbes.

2. Gentle on Your Skin

We care about what goes on your body - which is why every soap we create starts with a natural, vegetable-based, vegan soap base. Free from sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a common ingredient in many mainstream washes known for causing dryness and irritation. Our soaps are designed to nourish and moisturise and for those with sensitive skin we have a brand NEW colour and fragrance free soap, Oatmeal & Shea Butter, coming very soon! 

3. Kind to the Planet

We are committed to reducing the plastic we use in all of our packaging which is why each of our soaps comes wrapped in a predominantly eco-friendly, recyclable cardboard box. Compare that to the piles of plastic bottles from hand washes and shower gels, and the difference is clear: choosing bar soap is a simple but powerful step towards helping the environment.

4. It Lasts Longer & Saves You Money

Bar soap doesn’t just clean better, it also goes further. There’s significantly less waste than with pumps or squeeze bottles, and with a little care (and allowing your soap to dry between uses - using a soap dish) your bar will last much longer than your average liquid alternative. What's more, you can even pop the small broken soap bits into an exfoliating bag at the end and continue to use them - so there's absolutely no waste! 

5. And Then, There's Our Soap

Yes, our soap smells amazing, feels luxurious, and is lovingly made. But what truly sets us apart is our mission.

We are proud to support individuals with autism and learning disabilities by providing them with meaningful work-based training and employment opportunities. In England, only 4.8% of adults with learning disabilities are in employment even though many are eager to work, contribute, and grow. We want to change that!

By buying our soap, you’re not just caring for your skin or making a sustainable choice - you’re helping to create a real and lasting impact in someone’s life. You’re helping someone build their skills, confidence, independence and their future.

So Much More Than Just Soap…

So next time you reach for a plastic bottle of shower gel or hand wash, take a moment to consider the better choice - not just for your skin, but for your planet, your wallet, and your community.

Choose soap. Choose our soap. Choose something that makes a difference
