How to Choose the Right Soap for Your Skin Type

Start With Your Skin Type

The right soap depends far more on your skin type than on scent alone. Choosing a bar that matches your skin's needs makes a bigger difference than most people expect.

Dry Skin

Look for bars built around shea butter, olive oil, or goat's milk — these are naturally moisturising and won't strip your skin's oils. Our Lavender Fields Oatmeal Bar and Wildflower Meadow Goat's Milk Soap are both good choices.

Oily & Combination Skin

Activated charcoal and clay-based bars help draw out excess oil without over-drying. The Activated Charcoal Detox Bar is formulated specifically for this.

Sensitive Skin

Fragrance-free, dye-free bars are the safest choice for sensitive or reactive skin. Our Classic Unscented Bar uses just three simple oils and nothing else.

What to Avoid

• Harsh sulfates that strip natural oils
• Synthetic fragrance if you have reactive skin — look for essential-oil-scented bars instead
• Soap that's been sitting wet in the shower — always use a draining soap dish to extend its life
