While bathing soaps have existed for far too long on our bathroom shelves, their popularity took a dip when shower oils and gels made way to our bathing routine. Moreover, getting dry skin after using soap is a real issue. As a result, soaps have been mostly replaced by other bathing products that are soothing, gentle, and come with skin-loving benefits. Showering with these will give you a luxurious experience compared to a regular soap bar.
However, we cannot ignore the fact that soap bars are environmentally friendly as compared to other products. Comparatively, soap bars are less wasteful; they do not add an amount of plastic waste to the landfill as much as the other products do. Needless to say, soap bars are back in demand with its upgraded formula and look. So forget your boring old soap bar because the latest versions come in different shapes and sizes. We did our research and came up with a list of handmade soap bars that come with cooling ingredients and make for a must-try this season.
