Collection: Handmade Bar Soaps

Cloudy Soap handmade bar soaps — small-batch, plant-based, and cured for 4–6 weeks for a rich, long-lasting lather. Every bar is made with cold-pressed plant oils, shea butter, and real essential oils. No sulfates, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance.

Why handmade soap?

Mass-produced soap is usually made with synthetic detergents and surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate, which strip your skin's natural oils. Handmade cold-process soap keeps the glycerin produced during saponification, so the bar cleanses while it conditions. Our bars are formulated to feel gentle on the skin, lather generously, and last 3–4 weeks of daily use when stored on a draining soap dish.

What's in our bar soaps

  • Cold-pressed plant oils (coconut, olive, castor, avocado, apricot kernel)
  • Shea butter for conditioning and moisture retention
  • Real essential oils for natural fragrance — never synthetic perfume
  • Bar-specific actives: activated charcoal, finely ground coffee, peppermint, lavender, gardenia, lemon
  • No sulfates, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance, no artificial dyes

Choosing the right bar

  • Oily or combination skin → Activated Charcoal bar
  • Sensitive or dry skin → Petals (floral) or Peppermint bar
  • Dry, dull-looking skin needing exfoliation → Coffee Exfoliating bar
  • Everyday daily wash, all skin types → Peppermint bar
  • Gift → Petals is our most popular gift bar

Make your bar last longer

The single biggest factor in handmade-soap longevity is drainage. Keep the bar on a draining dish so it dries between uses. Our Wooden Soap Dish and Non-Slip Mesh Tray are designed for exactly this.
