Sumptuous Plastic Free Soap Bars
Why swap to plastic free soap bars?
Soap bars have come a long way since the days of the skin drying bars that we remember using as children.
Today you can find beautifully made soap bars with natural ingredients and essential oils. They are much better for your skin and smell divine. We’ve found our skin a lot softer since making the swap to soap bars.
Switching to soap bars also reduces your plastic waste, which is great for the environment, space-saving and decluttering. It’s astonishing how many plastic bottles you can get through in the bathroom!
We look for soap bars made in the UK and consider the ingredients and packaging to help with our carbon footprint.
We love these plastic free soap bars
These sumptuous, UK made plastic-free soap bars have been tested by us or recommended by online communities we trust. They are cruelty-free and either palm oil free or made from sustainably grown palm oil. You can find out more about sustainably sourced palm oil here from the WWF.
