Liquid Soap

Bar Soap vs. Liquid Soap - Which is Better?

Strictly speaking, liquid soap is not in fact a real soap; it is not produced with the classic saponification process. Instead, it consists of so-called syndets, short for synthetic detergents. These generally have a pH value that is closer to the skin's natural pH value, which makes liquid soaps particularly gentle and ideal for people with sensitive skin.

The advantage of bar soap is that it involves less packaging, and thus, it is particularly eco-friendly. But generous dispenser systems make it easy to significantly reduce waste with liquid soap as well.

Both liquid and solid soaps are effective and reliable to cleanse your skin; there are no noticeable differences in performance. Ultimately, the choice simply comes down to your personal preference.

Liquid Hand Soap vs. Liquid Body Soap

Hand soap and body soap are both essential for personal hygiene, yet, each is crafted differently to address specific needs. 

Liquid hand soap is meant to be used frequently to effectively remove germs, bacteria, and dirt from your hands without causing dryness or irritation. To that end, it often contains quick moisturizers and conditioners. To find the best liquid hand soap for you, consider your skin type as well as your personal preferences regarding scent and effects. 

Body soap is intended to cleanse larger areas of skin; it typically offers a richer lather and additional long-term moisturizers to help prevent dry skin after a full, intense body wash or soak. Some liquid body soaps also contain exfoliants to help remove dead skin cells. 

Both types of soap are essential for maintaining cleanliness and skin health, as each is tailored to a specific use.

Sustainable Liquid Soap

Sustainability is increasingly important in our daily lives, which includes the selection of our care products. High-quality soaps stand out through natural ingredients and gentle effects on both your skin and the environment.

Sustainable liquid soap combines the best care with the responsible use of natural resources. These soaps are carefully crafted from biodegradable ingredients and come in eco-friendly packaging.

The whole collection is certified with both the EU Ecolabel and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Over 97% of the ingredients are biodegradable, and come with innovative press + wash dispensers, made 100% from recycled PET.

Organic Liquid Soap

Organic liquid soaps are the perfect choice for anyone who values natural and sustainable care. They are a blend of premium plant-based ingredients from organic farms to provide a soothing skincare experience.

Our Naturals collection, for example, features organic lemon, orange and olive extracts. With these plant-based ingredients, the soap exudes the distinctive flair of Mediterranean nature and provides a refreshing and invigorating wash. All Naturals products are vegan and supplied in recyclable packaging.

Naturals REMEDIES organic liquid soap is an extra mild one. It contains extracts of sage, blackcurrant, and nettle from certified organic sources. This combination of natural ingredients creates a gentle yet effective cleanser that conditions and protects your skin.

Liquid Soap Without Additives

Liquid soap without additives has no artificial or synthetic ingredients, meaning it doesn't contain any added fragrances, colorants, preservatives, or other chemical enhancers frequently found in conventional soaps. Instead, it primarily consists of natural ingredients such as vegetable oils and fats, processed into a mild soap solution. 

This type of soap is particularly gentle on the skin, which is ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies. It minimizes the risk of irritation and maintains the skin's natural hydration levels.

Our mild liquid soap DermaCare SENSITIVE has no additives. It is very well tolerated by all skin types, but particularly by sensitive or reactive skin. This skin-friendly formula has been dermatologically tested and is even safe for children the age of three years and older.

Liquid Soap Dispenser

Cosmetic dispensers for sinks, showers, and bathtubs are an elegant and eco-friendly solution for every bathroom. Our practical dispenser mounts and brackets, too, are both functional and stylish.

A big advantage here is that a permanent dispenser can be refilled with liquid soap very easily. It's not only practical, but also exceptionally sustainable. All our liquid soaps are available and packaged tastefully as dispenser solutions as well.

Our house brand FAIR CosmEthics, for example, features liquid soaps in refill packs made with Fairtrade-certified ingredients such as cane sugar, Brazil nut oil and olive oil. While our liquid soap from PURE HERBS is a treat that contains a herbal blend of rosemary, lemon balm and thyme, available directly in a pump dispenser or in a refill bottle. This blend of natural herbs is soothing for your skin and has a pleasant smell to invigorate your senses.

Does Liquid Soap Expire?

Over time, its ingredients can degrade, which may lead to reduced effectiveness and changes in texture, color, or scent. The breakdown of preservatives in expired soap can also allow bacteria or mold to grow, which would make it unsafe to use. Most liquid soaps have an expiration date on the bottle, typically 12 to 36 months after opening. To ensure your soap remains effective and safe, store it in a cool, dry place and use it within the recommended time period. Check the expiration dates and proper storage regularly to maintain quality as well as hygiene.
