Our Pick of the Best Organic Bar Soaps

Raising The Bar - The best organic bar soaps for your bathroom 

The humble bar soap has made a triumphant return!

No longer comprised of drying alcohols and synthetic scents, it's fair to say the world of soap has come on leaps and bounds! 

In a world where a whopping 120 billion units of packaging are produced every year by the global cosmetics industry and only 50% of packaging is recycled in the bathroom, bar soap is a clear choice for those looking to make easy switches to reduce the amount of plastic in their home.

Opting for certified organic bar soaps takes this sustainable action one step further.

Certified organic bar soaps are comprised of natural scents and colours, sustainably sourced ingredients, and come in biodegradable and recycled packaging.

Here are our top picks of certified organic, plastic-free bar soaps, naked in all their glory:

Neal's Yard Remedies, Wild Rose Soap - £6.50

Pioneering organic beauty brand Neal’s Yard Remedies have transformed their best-selling Wild Rose Balm into a nourishing and cleansing bar soap.
