Body washes

A safe body wash is one free from harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, SLS, EDTA, artificial colours, synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals. Natural formulas avoid these irritants, making them gentler and better for your skin. Our body washes are made with naturally derived ingredients and use only natural colours and fragrances, offering a mild, skin‑friendly option for everyday use.

There isn’t a set number, as it depends on how frequently you use it and how generously you lather. In general, a såpa Body Bar lasts longer than a standard shower gel, making it more cost-effective and better for reducing plastic waste. Keeping it in a dry place between uses will help it last even longer.

Body acne can be prevented by regularly using a body scrub or exfoliator to remove dead or flaky skin that can block your pores. Scrubs will also help to remove bacteria and excess oil that may cause body acne.

Certain body washes can also be beneficial when dealing with this skin type, like our såpa Body Bar in patchouli & sandalwood, with its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Vegan body washes are made using oils and other ingredients that are derived from plants, as opposed to animal derivatives. They’re also cruelty-free, so no animals were harmed in the creation or formulation of the product. 

If you don’t have any hand soap on hand (pun intended), a body bar can definitely be used as a substitute, and it’s better than not washing your hands at all. However, we’d recommend keeping your body products to your body and using a targeted hand soap for the best results. 

Our pestä 3 in 1 Travel Bar is the ultimate middle ground, as it can be used as a body bar, hand soap, and even shampoo in a pinch.
