Life Pro Tip: Bar Soap is Superior to Body Wash (and other weird soap facts you didn’t know you wanted to know)

Do you ever wonder why some people would choose bar soap over that body wash you love? We know the one you’re using…smells great, super lather-y, giant plastic bottle? Did we guess right? Why would you ever want to switch away from a product you know you love and that does its job? Consider this: most commercial body washes contain chemicals, like detergents, rather than glycerin to produce that creamy lather you can’t live without.

But I love that body wash, you say. We get that. And when you think about a soap bar, what do you see? A slimy blob or dried-out chunk in your childhood shower? One that left your skin dry and scaly? Well, we are here to tell you that the bar soap game has changed. At least at NUDY RUDY HQ it has. Gone are the days of soggy soap bars and their skin-drying aftermath. It is time to reconsider those chemical-laden, plastic waste generating body washes.

When a soap bar is crafted in the centuries-old tradition of French milling (like, ahem…NUDY RUDY for example), what you get is a denser, longer-lasting bar that is less prone to becoming a soggy mess in your shower. When that soap bar is made with natural, sustainable, and chemical-free ingredients (like that glycerin we were going on about) and doesn’t clutter your shower with oversized plastic bottles, you know you’re on to something.

So, while it can be hard to say goodbye to that old, trusty body wash, the bottom line is everyday is a new day to try something new. Why shouldn’t it be a skin-softening, great-smelling new soap brand with a pinch of personality and a hint of extra sass to make cleaning that body and getting NUDY more fun?
