My Naked Bar soaps are specially formulated to cleanse gently without drying out your skin. We use the traditional cold process method, which produces glycerin as a natural by-product that we retain in the soap to help keep your skin soft and hydrated.

Instead of synthetic surfactants, our soaps lather with saponified natural, plant-based oils that are far gentler on your skin barrier.

Many of our customers have sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin, so we’re incredibly mindful about the ingredients we choose and the way we formulate. Each bar is thoughtfully crafted to be both moisturising and soothing. So you can enjoy a cleansing experience that’s kind and gentle to your skin.

At My Naked Bar, our soaps are handcrafted using the cold process method, which naturally retains glycerin, a natural ingredient that helps keep your skin soft and moisturised.

However, glycerin is also a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air. So if your bar is left sitting in water or stored in a damp space (like a sealed container or a dish without sufficient drainage), it can absorb all that moisture, causing it to become soft or mushy over time.

Here are the tips to keep your soap firm and lasting longer:

• Let your soap dry completely between uses

• Use a soap dish with good drainage and airflow

• Avoid letting it sit in water or near constant splashes

Here’s our recommendation for the (almost) perfect soap dish that meets nearly all our criteria to help every soap bar last longer.

With just a little care, your soap will stay firm, last longer, and give you a better experience from the very first use to the last little sliver.

Bar soaps are safe and perfectly hygienic to use. The naturally alkaline nature of bar soaps makes it a poor environment for bacteria and even mold to grow. So while it’s not impossible for bacteria to reside on the surface ofhe soap bars, a good rinse and proper lather will physically ‘lift’ them from the soaps and our hands and wash them away with water, so there’s really no need even for the soap bars to be antibacterial.

So, use your bar soaps with peace of mind and there’s no need to cover them up in the bathroom. Sharing the same bar soap with your family is ok too.

If you need more convincing why soaps may work even better than an anti-bacterial sanitiser, here’s a more scientific read.

Using bar soap is easy, not much different from using your regular shower gel from a bottle.

• Wet the bar and your hands/face/body

• Rub the soap between your palms to create a lather

• Apply the lather to your wet skin, then rinse off

Our bars are formulated to lather easily so you can enjoy and even elevate your shower experience with ease.

Should I rub the soap directly on my skin?

For longer-lasting bars, we recommend lathering in your hands first and applying the lather to wet skin. But if you prefer, you can also rub the bar directly on your skin or use a washcloth or sisal soap bag for even more lather and exfoliation.

For best results, store your bar soap in a dry, well-ventilated spot.

We recommend using:

• A soap dish with good drainage

• A soap bag that allows air to circulate

Avoid placing your soap in a sealed container or spots where shower splashes can fall on it, as this can cause it to soften or melt faster.
