Bringing Back Bar Soap

The humble bar soap is nearly as old as time. Most consumers have favored liquid soap throughout the years, until recently, research shows that solid soap bars are up 23% in a soap industry that’s worth $3.1 billion. This is expected to continue to increase as well.The reason behind this spike in bar soap use is that companies have formed skin type-specific, high quality formulas that cut out preservatives and fillers. Companies like Vela Bath and Body are handcrafting their bars of soap with all-natural ingredients like mango, avocado, shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil. As a bonus, they’ve even created soaps that can be safely used on your face.There are many things that are beneficial about using a bar of soap, but there is also a certain level of nostalgia that comes with it. Bringing back bar soap seems to bring back childhood memories as well.
