Natural Soaps

Guide: Natural cleansing with natural cosmetic soaps

Natural soaps gently cleanse the skin and are made with high-quality plant-based oils such as olive oil, coconut oil or shea butter. These ingredients provide gentle cleansing while also helping to nourish the skin.

Compared to many conventional products, natural cosmetic soaps often contain no synthetic surfactants, microplastics or harsh additives. This makes them particularly suitable for a mindful and skin-friendly skincare routine.

Natural soaps are available in various forms to suit different needs:

• Bar soaps – classic soap bars for hands, body or face
• Liquid soaps – practical for use in the bathroom and kitchen
• Hand soaps – designed for daily hand hygiene
• Nourishing soaps – enriched with additional oils for dry skin
• Speciality soaps – for example, for sensitive skin or specific skin concerns

Many natural soaps are made using traditional methods and contain valuable plant oils that help care for the skin while cleansing.

Tips for using natural soaps

1. Work the soap into a rich lather

Create a lather with water and gently apply it to the skin.

2. Store the bar of soap in a dry place

A soap dish with drainage helps the soap last longer.

3. Moisturise your skin afterwards

If you have dry skin, use a suitable moisturiser such as a body lotion or hand cream after cleansing.
