Body Soap

Body Soap - Australia

We love bar soap, and are completely dedicated to its revival, rescued from its perceived status as a relic from a bygone era. Nostalgic values aside, its benefits are numerous. So let us not forget the humble bar soap and its dependable brilliance, its remarkable simplicity, its charm, and its efficacy. And in a world with modern challenges, let us not overlook the enduring relevance of this simple product.

What are the benefits of using bar soap?

Bar soaps are effective at cleansing the skin, removing dirt, oil, and impurities. They are often more eco-friendly due to minimal packaging and can be formulated with natural and moisturising ingredients.

How do I properly use bar soap?

Wet the soap and your body, then rub the soap between your hands or onto a washcloth or loofah to create a lather. Apply the lather to your body, gently scrubbing in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Can bar soap be used on the face?

Some bar soaps are formulated specifically for the face and are gentle enough for facial skin. However, it's important to check the label and ensure it's designed for facial use to avoid irritation. 

How should I store bar soap to make it last longer?

Keep bar soap in a well-drained soap dish to prevent it from sitting in water. Allowing the soap to dry between uses helps it last longer and reduces the risk of bacterial growth.

Types of bar soap

Clay and charcoal soaps offer deep cleaning benefits as they draw out excess oils, dirt, and grime. The naturally absorbent properties of clay and activated charcoal help unclog pores, promoting clear and radiant skin. See FZOTIC’s range of French clay soaps.

Glycerine soaps are a classic with their appealing translucent appearance. As is the case in skincare, glycerine is a humectant that attracts moisture and locks it in. It is remarkably mild and gentle on the skin - and does not dry out excessively. See Triumph & Disaster’s A+R Soap. It is so gentle, in fact, that you can use it on your face.

Milk soaps are a marvel, with an enriched formula that moisturises the skin due to its high fat content. Santa Maria Novella is unparalleled in this category.

Special mention goes out to Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap. Its central ingredient is sodium tallowate, which is rich and derived from animal fats. It is moisturising and bolstered with lanolin, which is naturally found in wool and is richly emollient, softening and moisturising the skin. It is our most nostalgic soap in scent and sensation.
