Not all soap bars are created equal. Some are made for a little extra exfoliation, some are all about soothing and nourishment, while others are designed to give your morning shower a seriously refreshing kick.
At Kleensoaps, we believe choosing a natural soap should be about more than simply picking a scent you like. The ingredients, texture and essential oils can all help create a different kind of shower ritual - whether your skin is feeling rough and in need of a polish, dry and craving nourishment, or simply a little dull and in need of a fresh start.
So, which handmade vegan soap is right for you?
Here's our guide to finding your perfect bar.
Looking for exfoliating soap?
If your skin is feeling rough, dull or in need of a little extra polish, an exfoliating natural soap could be just the ticket. Ingredients such as volcanic pumice, ground coffee, oatmeal, Himalayan rock salt and poppy seeds can provide different levels of natural exfoliation, helping to buff away surface dead skin and leave your skin feeling smoother and refreshed.
Back to Life - Exfoliating + Restoring
For rough, dry-feeling skin, Back to Life means business. Volcanic pumice provides satisfying exfoliation, while mineral-rich Dead Sea mud gives the bar a purifying feel. Patchouli and clove essential oils bring deep, spicy warmth, while shea butter helps leave skin feeling soft and nourished.
It's a seriously satisfying skin reset when you want to polish up and start fresh.
Foot Loose - Exfoliating + Smoothing
If your feet are the main event, reach for Foot Loose. This hardworking bar combines volcanic pumice, Himalayan rock salt and poppy seeds to gently exfoliate and buff, with French pink clay providing a purifying cleanse.
Fresh eucalyptus and zingy lemongrass essential oils give it that five-star spa feeling - without leaving the bathroom.
Tall Dark & Handsome - Exfoliating + Reviving
Ground coffee gives this bar its natural exfoliating power, helping to buff and refresh the skin. Ginger, sweet orange, patchouli and clove essential oils create a warm, spicy and invigorating scent, while shea butter brings a soft, nourishing finish.
Think of it as your morning coffee, but for your shower.
Woodstock - Gently Exfoliating + Balancing
Prefer something a little gentler? Woodstock combines oatmeal with French green clay for a softer approach to natural exfoliation. Oatmeal gently buffs the skin, while green clay provides a purifying cleanse.
With earthy patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, ginger and ylang-ylang essential oils, it's made for slowing down and getting back to nature.
Looking for a soothing soap?
If your skin is feeling dry, delicate or simply in need of some TLC, look for a gentle natural soap made with nourishing oils, butters and comforting botanical ingredients. Shea butter, coconut oil, oat milk, oatmeal and rosehip oil are some of the ingredients you'll find across our gentler bars.
Pure Shores - Gentle + Soothing
For sensitive, dry-feeling skin, Pure Shores keeps things beautifully simple. It's completely fragrance-free, with oat milk, oatmeal, shea butter and rosehip oil creating a rich, creamy lather. There's no added fragrance and no fuss - just a beautifully gentle handmade vegan soap for those who prefer a quieter shower ritual.
La Dolce Vita - Soothing + Hydrating
La Dolce Vita brings together olive oil, shea butter and calendula petals for a rich, creamy cleanse. Palmarosa, pine and lime essential oils add a fresh, uplifting aroma, making this a beautifully nourishing natural soap for dry, delicate-feeling skin.
It's basically a little holiday for your shower.
Lavender Love - Calming + Gentle
When you want your shower to feel more like downtime, Lavender Love is the one. Lavender essential oil brings a soft, peaceful floral aroma, while kaolin and French pink clay provide a gentle cleanse.
Dried lavender buds offer a delicate natural buff, while shea butter and coconut oil help leave skin feeling soft and nourished.
Looking for a purifying soap?
If your skin is feeling dull or congested, you might prefer a natural soap with clay or activated charcoal. These ingredients are popular in cleansing products because they give the skin a deep-clean feeling, while also adding beautiful natural colour and texture to the bar.
Blue Velvet - Purifying + Balancing
Dark, mysterious and seriously smooth, Blue Velvet combines activated charcoal and kaolin clay for a deep-feeling cleanse.
Cedarwood, patchouli, bergamot and ajowan essential oils create a sophisticated blend that's smoky, earthy, fresh and beautifully complex. It's the natural soap to reach for when you want your shower to feel a little more luxurious.
Persuasion - Purifying + Softening
Red Rhassoul clay gives Persuasion its beautiful cherry-red colour and helps provide a cleansing, smoothing feel. Neroli and geranium essential oils add a sophisticated floral aroma, while shea butter and coconut oil bring nourishment to the lather.
It's floral, romantic and just a little bit scandalous.
Try Good Vibrations
Good Vibrations - Refreshing + Purifying
French pink clay gives Good Vibrations its earthy rose tones and purifying character. Lemongrass, grapefruit and rosemary essential oils bring a bright, zesty freshness, while shea butter and coconut oil create a rich, nourishing lather.
Fresh, uplifting and effortlessly cool, this is the bar for switching from sleep mode to smooth.
Looking for a refreshing soap to start the day?
Some mornings call for something gentle. Others require peppermint. If you want a refreshing natural soap to kick-start your shower, look for invigorating essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, rosemary and citrus oils.
Morning Glory - Refreshing + Invigorating
Morning Glory is your wake-up call in soap form. Peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils create a fresh, cooling and invigorating shower experience, while oatmeal gently buffs and comforts.
It's fresh, zingy and full of good vibes - exactly what you want when the snooze button has already had enough chances.
Yellow Mellow - Brightening + Uplifting
Turmeric and oatmeal combine with creamy shea butter and coconut oil for a nourishing everyday cleanse, while grapefruit and rosemary essential oils provide a bright, invigorating burst of freshness.
Citronella adds a clean citrus edge, making Yellow Mellow a sunny, feel-good addition to your morning routine.
So, which natural soap should you choose?
The beauty of handmade soap is that there's no need to stick to just one.
Choose Back to Life, Foot Loose, or Tall Dark & Handsome when your skin is craving exfoliation and a smoother feel.
Reach for Pure Shores, La Dolce Vita or Lavender Love when you want something gentler, softer and more nourishing.
Choose Blue Velvet, Persuasion or Good Vibrations when you're after a purifying, fresh-feeling cleanse.
