Soap

[Whyisitsodifficult]

I’m trying to move away from shower gel to bars of soap. However the ones I’ve tried I’m not very impressed with. Can anyone recommend a soap that lathers, isn’t drying and is made in the UK? I’m missing my lovely bubbly shower gel but trying to buy less plastic!

Scottish fine soaps are lovely.

Heyland and Whittle is another one..

The Shea butter soap from L'Occitane is great for my difficult skin. Sorry, not made in UK but it is cleansing yet gentle and moisturising. Feels and smells nice too.

Marseille soap. Not from the UK but only across the pond. Every scent you can think of, made of natural ingredients and no palm oil. Cheap on eBay.

I really like the soap bars from PlasticFreeZone on Etsy. Small business based in the UK

Yorkshire soap company has a fantastic range and are amazing quality.

We use Pears soap. It is lovely, lathers but not too much and its as cheap as chips, too. Stocked in most supermarkets and chemists.

Amazed nobody had mentioned Nesti Dante yet, it's a big favourite on here and with good reason.

I use Simple soap. Never upsets my skin.

The Kew Gardens soaps are gorgeous. The most amazing scents, creamy and long-lasting. Great value for money, as although expensive to buy, they are huge and last ages. They actually work out cheaper than Dove, and are about 1,000 times better quality.

I love Asquith and Somerset soap and it regularly turns up in TKMaxx. Otherwise Marseille as a PP said.

I like the Dr Organic soaps from Holland and Barrett.

Neste Danti is lovely but Not Cheap.
But is is very kind to skin, not at all drying and smells divine. The bars are big and last for ages too.

Sorry, correct name is Nesti Dante ☺️.

I agree with Pears and Nesti Dante. They both lather well.
I've got a Kew Gardens one atm and it's lovely. It's huge, smells lovely and lathers really well.

If you are at all crafty you can make you own soap. I do all mine and have hit on the perfect recipe that lathers well, is hard and also moisturising ( it’s about the right blend of different oils, I use coconut, olive oil and Shea). I took a course with makesoap biz and have not looked back. Never buy soap now. And I know I am not using palm oil.

Wow thanks lots for me to look at! Do any of you use shampoo bars?

My family use this company, virtually rid of all other shampoo bottles and shower gels now....really impressed with them. Had tried a few other brands, but these are by far the best so far.

Plastic free, made in the UK. Smell gorge!

Definitely look at nesti Dante - you can get 6 for about £17, which sounds like a lot but the bars last for ages. Scents are lovely, and the lather is rich and not drying.

I use solid shampoo, I use Beauty Kubes. Been using them for months now and really like them!

Lots of love for Nesti Dante doesn’t sound like a UK Company though?
