Let’s get one thing straight: not all bar soaps are created equal. If your childhood memories involve tight, squeaky skin and soap that doubled as a punishment on your skin, we feel you.

But handcrafted bar soap? That’s a whole other story — especially the way we do it at Lavish Earth.

First of All: Yes, Bar Soap Can Be Good for Your Skin

Our bar soaps are made the traditional way (cold process!) with a nourishing blend of plant oils, essential oils, and a lot of love.
No weird detergents. No sketchy foaming agents. No industrial dryness.

What’s In Our Bar Soap? Only the Good Stuff.

🧈 Shea Butter — For softness, richness, and creamy lather. Shea is your skin’s best friend.
🥥 Coconut Oil — Gives big bubbly lather and helps cleanse without being harsh.
🌿 Castor Oil — The secret sauce for stable, silky bubbles. It also brings gentle moisture.
🌾 Rice Bran Oil — Full of antioxidants and vitamin E, this oil is underrated and oh-so-luxurious.
🫒 Olive Oil — Gentle, soothing, and amazing for sensitive skin. It makes the bar hard and long-lasting.

Superfatted? You Bet.

We superfat our bars at 5%. That means there’s 5% more oil than the lye needs — so the final soap still has nourishing oils left behind to moisturize your skin as you wash.
Translation: It cleans you without stripping you. Your skin stays soft, not squeaky.

Scented with Care

We use:

💐 Essential oils (lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, citrus — all the classics)
✨ Or safe, phthalate-free, paraben-free, vegan fragrance oils when we need a scent that essential oils just can’t do (hello, I’m looking at you, you beautiful bar of Sweet Pea goodness!).

Everything is made with sensitive skin and noses in mind. (Because no one wants their hands to smell like fake flowers or chemical candy.)

Why Choose a Bar Over a Bottle?

Less waste. No plastic. Just a simple recyclable/compostable paper wrap.
More concentrated. One bar lasts longer than most bottled body washes (hey! Please use a soap dish to maximize life of your bar - if it gets a chance to drain, it’s got so much more life in it!).
Better for your skin. You’re getting real oils, not synthetic detergents.
Easy to travel with. No leaks. No TSA stress. Just toss it in a tin and go.

TL;DR: Our Bar Soap Is a Tiny, Bubbly Work of Art

Made for real skin, real life, and real good vibes.

If you’ve sworn off bar soap before — try ours. It’s the kind your skin actually wants to invite to the shower.
