10 soap bars to try
The reasons to choose solid and plastic-free soap over liquid soap
November 19th, 2020
Among the solutions to make the beauty routine more sustainable and plastic-free, there is a gesture from the past that is making a comeback (or perhaps never gone away): the soap bars. Lately it is not difficult to come across shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, face creams, scrubs, deodorants, toothpastes - and so on - in solid versions, which therefore do not require packaging, often polluting.
In fact, there are many brands that have decided to eliminate plastic from their offer in favor of safeguarding the planet. Just think of Lush that a few years ago inaugurated its first Naked Store in Milan in which the products are strictly without packaging. Or the brand Dove, which has switched to 100% recycled plastic for liquid soaps and also offers ecological packaging for Dove Beauty Bar soaps.
Shampoos and solid cleansers therefore become an integral part of the beauty cases of those who love to use multi-purpose and sustainable products: they are in fact easy to use, both at home and on the road, with an eye to the ingredients and their impact on skin, hair and of course , environment.
That's why, we've compiled the 10 solid beauty products for you in a mini shopping guide.

Furthermore, the enzymes of the high-dose honey stimulate microcirculation and therefore the renewal of the skin which also benefits from the smoothing effect of vitamin E and appears softer and more elastic.

The essential oil of juniper berries purifies the skin, regulating the production of sebum; the infusion of lavender and rosemary soothes and cleanses the scalp; lemon and lime essential oils give shine by helping to close the hair cuticles which thus reflect light better.
