How to Choose the Right Handmade Soap for You

How to Choose the Right Handmade Soap (Without the Guesswork)

At My-Soaps.com, we know that choosing the right soap can feel a little overwhelming — especially with so many beautiful bars to pick from. But it doesn’t have to be! With just a few simple tips, you can find a handmade soap that’s perfect for your skin and your style.

Know Your Skin Type

Dry, oily, sensitive, or somewhere in between — understanding your skin type is the first step. For dry skin, try our Heavy Lather Bath Soaps made with four different saponified oils. If you’re prone to irritation, our fragrance-free bars are gentle enough for even the most delicate skin. For oily or blemish-prone skin, our Himalayan Salt Soap offers natural exfoliation and detoxifying benefits.

Pick the Scent That Speaks to You

Whether you love bold, earthy scents or prefer something soft and subtle, we’ve got you covered. Our soaps are scented only with oils and botanicals, no synthetic fragrances. And if you’re sensitive to scent? No problem — we offer unscented bars too.

Check the Ingredient List

Every ingredient in our soaps is chosen with care. We use nourishing oils like coconut, shea butter, and olive oil in nearly every recipe. These natural moisturizers help hydrate and protect your skin — no need for added lotions post-shower!

Get to Know Your Maker

We’re a small-batch soap company that takes pride in crafting every bar by hand. On our website, you’ll find full ingredient lists, customer reviews, and behind-the-scenes stories about how our soaps are made. We're transparent because we believe you deserve to know what you’re putting on your skin.

Feel Good About Your Skincare Choices

When you shop with My-Soaps.com, you’re not just buying a bar of soap — you’re supporting thoughtful craftsmanship, clean ingredients, and products made with love. Our mission is to help you feel confident and cared for, one bar at a time.
