How to Find the Best Soap for Your Skin Type

Start your day with a clean slate with body soaps designed for your particular skin type. We’re sharing which ones work best for your needs to help you love the skin you’re in.

The Best Body Soaps for Your Skin Type

Normal Skin

With normal skin, sebum (the skin’s natural oil) is produced in the Goldilocks zone; not too little and not too much. The right cleanser will maintain that ideal balance. 

Creamy and naturally scented, our Lemongrass Soap Bar gently removes impurities and awakens the senses with freshly aromatic lemongrass oil. It’s also infused with a soothing combination of jojoba oil, palm oil and aloe, softening and comforting skin without overdrying. 

Our Exfoliating Italian Lemon Soap Bar is another great option for normal skin. Formulated with Sustainable Palm Oil, Lemon Oil and Jojoba Oil, it cleanses, smooths and moisturizes the body with an invigorating lemon scent.

Oily Skin

The goal of cleansing oily skin is finding a formula that removes excess oil and buildup without stripping your skin in the process. In fact, overzealous cleansing can actually cause the skin to produce more oil – only exacerbating the original problem. Our Activated Charcoal Soap Bar uses activated coconut shell charcoal and tea tree oil to gently but powerfully detoxify impurities and clarify your face and body. 

Our Tea Tree Therapy Cleansing Bar is also ideal for oil and sensitive skin thanks to its therapeutic, botanically-based ingredients. Aloe nurtures the skin with hydration, while tea tree oil and jojoba oil clarify and moisturize the skin. Use it on your face or body for a clean, silky-smooth feeling from head to toe.

Pro Tip: This multitasking soap bar also makes the perfect shaving aid.

Dry Skin

Dry, flaky skin isn’t just irritating; it’s actually uncomfortable and can lead to the appearance of early signs of aging. The best moisturizing soap for dry skin will keep itchiness and tightness at bay with natural hydrators like olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, shea butter and aloe vera. 

If you’re looking for soap or shower gel for dry skin, our Island Mango Soap Bar is a luscious option thanks to its vitamin-rich combination of mango seed butter, jojoba oil and aloe. Looking for an invigorating fragrance instead? Our Peppermint Soap Bar is a richly foaming cleanser that’s made with sustainable palm oil and infused with pure peppermint oil.

Sensitive Skin

When it comes to choosing the best facial bar soap for sensitive skin, it’s so important to look for gentle formulas with soothing ingredients. Many dermatologists agree that bar soaps are typically better for sensitive skin types than liquid cleansers, which have a tendency to leave behind a film that can inadvertently clog pores. It’s also a good idea to look for very mild exfoliators, as anything too harsh can easily cause irritation.

Try a botanically-based cleanser like our Creamy Coconut Soap Bar, which gently moisturizes the skin with a medley of sustainable palm oil, colloidal oatmeal and jojoba seed powder. This all-in-one formula softens and exfoliates the body with a creamy texture that nourishes dry patches without being too heavy for oily areas. The result? Clean, hydrated skin that feels soft to the touch. 

Our Lavender Soap Bar is another nurturing option that’s formulated with tea tree oil, palm oil bar and pure Bulgarian lavender for calming aromatherapy.
