Why Bar Cleansers Deserve a Comeback

Bar cleansers aren’t your grandma’s soap. Today’s bars are gentle, pH-balanced, and packed with hydrating ingredients, perfect for cleansing without stripping your skin.

Plus, they’re eco-friendly, travel ready, and low-waste. What’s not to love?

What Is a Bar Cleanser?

It looks like soap, but it’s not the harsh kind. Modern bar cleansers are…

  • pH-balanced

  • Sulfate-free

  • Great for sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin

  • Loaded with soothing and moisturizing ingredients

Best Bar Types by Skin Type

Dry Skin → Look for bars with glycerin, shea butter, or coconut oil

Oily/Acne-Prone → Go for clay, charcoal, or salicylic acid bars

Sensitive Skin → Use fragrance-free bars with oat, aloe, or calendula

Combination Skin → Try syndet or glycerin-based bars

How to Use It Right:

  1. Lather in hands or washcloth→ don’t rub directly on your face

  1. Apply foam gently to your skin

  1. Store on a draining dish to keep it dry and long-lasting

  1. Adjust use if skin feels dry, switch to a more hydrating formula
