How to pick the best bar soap for you
- Consider industrial vs. handmade – It’s not that industrial soap is the worst thing in the world, but it can often contain artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, preservatives and detergents. Industrial soap does have its benefits, like a lower price and higher availability, but if you want to go the extra material, definitely go for the soap bars that have been made with more care, vegetable-based oils and essential oils.
- Consider scent – After figuring out if your soap has a synthetic fragrance or not, there is the important step of discovering what smell you like the most. Consider not only the scent, but the strength of it and how you might want to layer it with a cologne.
- Consider the effect on your skin – No matter how well a soap is made, some ingredients just might not sit right on your skin. The last thing you want is a bar of soap that causes irritation every time you use it.
1. Caswell-Massey Bath Soap

This is an especially great option if your skin is dry or aging, because the soap works to moisturise the skin naturally. In terms of scents, the three soaps all have different ones. They are centuries sandalwood, woodgrain sandalwood and tricorn-a spiced sandalwood.
