For years, men have tended to use liquid soaps when they wanted to maintain their daily hygiene. In an ideal world, they would use soap designed for men, but in reality, men almost always use their partner's or mother's soap (depending on whether they live at home with their parents or not).

Fortunately, recently there has been a preference for solid, masculine soap over liquid soap, in order to enjoy a more authentic bathing experience. There are several reasons for this.

Liquid soaps
Liquid soaps have been a popular product for men and women for many years. They are convenient to use, well packaged, and do not dissolve like regular bar soap. However, liquid soaps in plastic packaging have quite a few drawbacks.

Here are two of them:

1. Including chemicals
   Companies tend to add chemicals and synthetic additives to liquid soaps to produce lather, but these substances can be harmful to the skin. Ingredients like sulfates and parabens can cause skin irritation and other health problems.
2. Environmental aspect
   The environmental impact of liquid soaps cannot be ignored. Most (if not all) of them are packaged in plastic bottles, which contributes to the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the world.

Liquid soaps typically require more water and energy to produce than bar soaps, and even if the plastic bottles are recycled, the recycling process itself is energy-intensive and emits carbon dioxide, which leaves a significant ecological footprint. Regardless, data shows that only 10% of the world's plastic is recycled.

Most men understand the many benefits of using natural bar soap.

Five reasons why men choose natural bar soap

Solid soap is like a solid rock.
It’s not just that people are back to buying records. In a world where digitalization has become the norm, men still have a strong connection to tangible things. The need to hold something in their hands, to feel its weight and to be sure that it’s real is deeply ingrained in male nature. Just like the difference between opening a book and smelling the pages versus ‘holding’ a digital book. Solid soaps provide men with the sense of tangibility they want and love.

Each bar of soap has its own unique feel and texture.
Solid soaps contain essential oils and other ingredients that exfoliate and are excellent for peeling off dead skin and refreshing the skin.

Besides removing dirt and dead skin cells, the "rough" texture of the soap gives a masculine feel, making it the preferred choice for men. The more forceful the soap is applied to the skin, the more thoroughly and deeply it exfoliates.

Exfoliating ingredients that can be added to men's soaps:

• Ground apricot kernels
• Crushed walnut shells
• Oatmeal
• Coffee beans
• Black pepper
• Sea salt
• Pure sand
• Coconut shell
• Vanilla pods
• Ginger powder
• Poppy seeds

Unique fragrances in natural soaps
When making natural soaps and trying to develop special scents, it's often a matter of trial and error. In fact, this is another thing that sets them apart from commercial soap makers, who often use synthetic scents. The process of making natural soaps involves careful selection and combination of essential oils from plants and flowers.

This way, you get authentic scents that are better for your skin than the synthetic ones in commercial soaps. Whether it's the refreshing scent of mint, the sweetness of vanilla, the tartness of lemongrass, or the deep aroma of cinnamon — natural soaps are on a whole other level.

The attractive appearance of solid soaps
Natural soaps grab attention with their unique colors, textures, and shapes. Unlike the clear liquid soap hidden in branded soap bottles, natural soaps stand out with their colorfulness and unique appearance.

The shades range from soft, soothing to bright, vibrant colors. The wide variety adds charm to men's shower routine, offering an exciting visual experience beyond the meticulous cleaning experience.
