Using a soap bar correctly is simpler than you think. With the right technique, a natural soap bar cleanses your skin gently without disrupting the skin barrier or harming the environment. Here is everything you need to know.
Choose the right soap bar

Choose a soap bar made from 100% natural ingredients, free from sulphates, parabens and artificial fragrances. All Nature Bar soap bars contain only natural ingredients that gently cleanse and nourish your skin, using circular by-products from local Amsterdam partners.
How to use a soap bar step by step
- Wet your skin and the soap bar with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it dries out the skin and causes the bar to shrink faster.
- Create lather by rubbing the wet soap bar between your hands for at least 20 seconds. This effectively removes dirt and impurities.
- Massage gently over the skin in circular motions. You can also use the bar directly on the skin, but do not press too hard.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Make sure no residue remains.
- Pat dry with a soft towel. Do not rub, just pat gently. Combine with our body butter for extra hydration if you have dry skin.
How to extend the life of your soap bar
A soap bar lasts at least twice as long as its liquid equivalent, as long as you keep it dry between uses. Place the soap on a bamboo soap dish so excess water can drain away. Never store it in a closed container.
Conclusion
Using a soap bar correctly makes your cleansing more effective and your bar lasts longer. Gentle on the skin, plastic-free and handmade in Amsterdam. Want to learn how we make our soap? Join a soap making workshop at our soap studio in De Hallen.
