Hey there, Go For Zero Legends!
Ellie here, and today we're lathering up with a topic I’m super passionate about - the humble bar of soap. Now, I know what you're thinking…"Ellie, it's just soap!" But hold onto your loofah because these little blocks of goodness are so much better for you, your wallet and our Big Mama.
So get comfy with a cup of tea, and let's explore why bar soap isn't just your grandma's cleansing choice anymore - it's the superhero of sustainable living!
First things first - let's talk sustainability. In a world where we're all trying to reduce our plastic footprint, bar soap is like the caped crusader of the bathroom and kitchen:
Did you know that the ancient Babylonians were making soap as far back as 2800 BC? Or that the term "soap opera" comes from 1930s radio dramas sponsored by soap companies? Your shower routine has some serious history! Ok, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Traditional bar soap is made through a process called saponification:
The beauty of this process? It's been around for thousands of years and can be done with all-natural ingredients. No need for fancy chemicals or preservatives - high five!
I hear you! Many of us have been scarred by harsh, drying soaps in the past, including myself. But here's the thing - not all bar soaps are created equal. Many commercial "soaps" are actually synthetic detergent bars that can strip your skin's natural oils.
At Go For Zero, we're all about natural, nourishing bar soaps that work with your skin, not against it. Our bars don't contain harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances, but are packed with moisturising ingredients that leave your skin feeling clean AND hydrated.
For those with extra sensitive or dry skin, try out our Ethique Bliss bar or Deep Green face cleansers. These babies are made with surfactants instead of traditional soap (also called soap-free), which means they have a pH closest to your skin's natural level while creating a creamy, luxurious lather.
Needless to say, we love solid bars for all the reasons above so we've got your back (and your front, and everywhere else you need cleaning!).
Ready to make the switch? Here are some tips to get the most out of your bar soap:
Want to stretch your soap even further? Try these tricks:
Ready to raise the bar and cut out the plastic (and excess water)? We've got a range of amazing bar soaps at Go For Zero that'll make you wonder why you ever used liquid soap in the first place. From our natural face, body, and shampoo bars to our popular stain remover stick and dish & laundry bar, we have everything you need!
Remember, every small change adds up. By switching to bar soap, you're not just changing your shower routine - you're voting for a more sustainable future with your dollar. And that's something we can all feel clean and good about!
So, what do you say? Ready to make a splash with bar soap? Let us know in the comments which bar soap you're excited to try!
With lots of love and suds,
