Natural hand soap is the conscious choice for anyone who wants to cleanse their hands without drying out the skin or harming the environment. Many regular hand soaps contain sulphates, synthetic fragrances and preservatives that can irritate the skin. At Nature Bar we make hand soap from 100% natural ingredients, with circular by-products from local Amsterdam partners and without plastic.
What is hand soap, exactly?
Hand soap is a product we use every day, often without thinking twice about it. Its function is simple: removing dirt, bacteria and excess oil. But hand soap does much more than just clean. A good hand soap protects your skin, cares for your hands and strengthens the natural skin barrier.
Yet many conventional hand soaps contain harsh ingredients such as sulphates, synthetic fragrances and preservatives that can dry out or irritate the skin.
Natural hand soap: a healthy alternative
Our hand soap is made in an artisan way with natural oils such as coconut oil, olive oil and shea butter. This provides gentle cleansing while preserving the natural oil layer of your skin.
We add circular ingredients such as upcycled orange peel and coffee grounds from local Amsterdam businesses. Together we close the loop.
Our hand soap is:
- Free from microplastics
- Free from parabens and SLS
- Biodegradable
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
The 3 main benefits of natural hand soap

1. Gentle and nourishing for your skin. Thanks to ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil and essential oils, your skin does not dry out but instead feels hydrated, even with frequent washing.
2. A better choice for the environment. Our hand soaps are packaged in recycled paper, 100% plastic-free and fully biodegradable. Every bar you use contributes to less waste.
3. Sustainable and locally produced. Our soap is made in small batches in our soap studio in De Hallen, Amsterdam. By producing locally we reduce the ecological footprint and support the local economy.
Choose a hand soap that truly suits you
Whether you love a fresh citrus scent, calming ginkgo or a herbal woody base: our range of natural hand soaps has something for everyone.
Tip: our hand soap is also ideal as a sustainable gift. Think of a care set with a matching shampoo bar or a bamboo soap dish.
