Traditional soap on a rope is a classic style of handmade soap with a sturdy rope attached, making it easy to hang in the shower or bath. Hanging your soap allows it to dry between uses, helping your natural soap bar last longer while keeping it off of wet surfaces. Practical, beautiful and timeless, soap on a rope brings a simple touch of luxury to your everyday bathing routine.
A soap on a rope can typically last around 4 weeks with daily use, although this will vary depending on the size of the soap and how often it's used. To help your handmade soap last longer, hang it somewhere dry after each use so excess water can drain away. This allows the bar to dry between showers and helps prevent it from becoming soft or dissolving too quickly.

Our traditional soaps on a rope are made with carefully selected, naturally derived ingredients and are designed to be gentle and suitable for most skin types. However, everyone's skin is different. If you have particularly sensitive skin, allergies or known ingredient sensitivities, we recommend checking the individual natural soap ingredients before use and, if needed, performing a small patch test first.
For those with super sensitive skin, we would recommend trying Pure Shores Soap on a Rope first, as it's scent-free with a short ingredient list.
