In the past, bar soaps have been scorned for supposedly containing harsh, skin-stripping irritants, yet recently they’ve been making a comeback by featuring quality ingredients and being sold in plastic-free packaging. Consumers are increasingly drawn to these hydrating, environmentally-friendly alternatives to bottled shampoos, cleansers and shower gels.
The following is a list of the best bar soaps for hair, skin and body:
