Why choose a soap bar?

A body bar is a beautiful, sustainable option. Using a soap bar not only nourishes your skin in a gentle and pure way, but also helps reduce plastic waste.

The formula is gentler on the skin because it uses only natural ingredients that cleanse without drying it out. Moreover, a soap bar lasts much longer because it has a higher concentration of ingredients, so you need much less for effective results.

Apricot Body Bar - Naked body bar

Our Apricot Body Bar is a pure, mild soap with no added fragrances or dyes and completely allergen-free. This naked bar is specially formulated for sensitive skin and anyone who appreciates simple, pure care with a gentle, soothing effect.

The bar is made with 100% natural ingredients and contains no unnecessary additives, synthetics, parabens, or SLS. With no plastic packaging or microplastics, this body bar is not only kind to your skin but also to the environment.

The formula is packed with nourishing ingredients such as coconut and olive oil, mango and shea butter and apricot, rich in vitamins A and C.

The apricot kernels used for our apricot kernel oil are residual flows from the production of dried fruit and jam.

Elderberry Body Bar

The Elderberry Bar is refreshing, cleansing, and protective. It gently cleanses yet deeply nourishes thanks to a rich blend of olive and coconut oils, shea and mango butters. The star of the bar is elderberry seed oil: light yet incredibly powerful, packed with omegas 3 and 6 to keep your skin supple and nourished. Frankincense and vetiver invigorate the skin, and two clays help unclog pores.

The elderberry is an ode to Angela and Cathy's mother . Our mother was ahead of her time with her organic gardening and her knowledge of herbs and vegetables. Elderberry is still a favorite of hers in homemade lemonade or as pure berry juice. The elderberry oil is extracted from waste streams from a juice factory, so it's partially upcycled!

How do you use a body bar?

Using a soap bar is easy and pleasant. Wet the bar in the shower and rub it between your hands or directly onto your skin to create a soft, creamy lather. Massage the lather over your body for a gentle, caring cleanse. Thanks to the natural oils, your skin will feel wonderfully soft and hydrated after drying.

To keep your soap bar looking its best for as long as possible, it's important to let it dry thoroughly after each use. Store the bar in a dry, airy place, for example, on a soap dish with holes or ridges so water can drain properly. This will keep the soap firm and extend its life considerably.

Tips to use your Body Bar for as long as possible:

  • Do not leave the bar loose on the floor in the shower, this will prevent the soap from becoming soft.
  • Take your bar with you when traveling in a soap dish or travel case, but always let the soap dry after use.
  • When your bar is running low, you can easily pinch up any small scraps or use them in a soap pouch so nothing goes to waste.

Frequently asked questions about the body bars

Can I also use the body bar on my face?

We recommend our body bars for the body. For the face, it's best to use a milder cleanser specifically formulated for facial skin, such as our Carrot Cleanser.

What is the difference between the body bars?

Both soaps are 100% natural and made in Amsterdam.

The Apricot Body Bar contains 0% fragrance and is therefore allergen-free and super suitable for sensitive skin.

The Elderberry Body Bar is cleansing and refreshing and contains a small percentage of essential oils.

The Olive Body Bar cleanses deeply and also contains a small percentage of essential oils.

Is a body bar the same as a bar of soap?

Not quite. A body bar contains more nourishing oils and is milder than traditional soaps.

How do I use a body bar?

Wet, rub on skin or in hands, rinse, and let dry. This will make it last longer.

Does the Apricot Body Bar contain fragrances or allergens?

No, the apricot body bar is completely free of fragrances, dyes, and allergens. It's a "naked" soap, suitable for sensitive skin or those who prefer unscented products.

Are the body bars vegan and packaged plastic-free?

Yes. All Food for Skin body bars are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and packaged in completely plastic-free cardboard packaging that can be recycled with paper.

How long does a body bar last?

On average, as long as two bottles of shower gel (depending on use).

Let the bar dry thoroughly after use to enjoy it for as long as possible.
