Nothing should be simpler than a bar of soap. Well, in my quest to find a safe, non-toxic one, I didn’t have as much difficulty as finding other personal care products, but it still took a bit of exploring.

First of all, I want to pick up this staple when I’m already out buying groceries or toothpaste. It should be convenient, not a specialty product from an obscure store. Nor do I want to place an online order for just a bar of soap. So after a bit of digging, I’ve found the winner – Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Bar Soap.
- EWG rating of 1
- Usually sold at Walgreens, Target and health food stores. (You can order from their website as well.)
- Average price $4.29 per bar. This is higher than a common household brand, but less than most mail-order organic brands (Soap for Goodness Sake is $6.19 and Opas Soap is $8.95).
- Why do I love it? Unlike some organic lotions and products that leave a musky smell, this soap smells wonderful. Lavender is my favorite, as it reminds me of the south of France.
If you frequent health food shops, another great choice is the Aubrey Organics bath bar. Kiss My Face is also a good company, but only their pure olive oil bar soap has an EWG rating of 1. Most of their other soaps rate 3 or higher.

I suggest not using any soap on your face at all but a facial cleanser. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the wonderful article. I’ve a quick question. I have dry skin does this soap will work for me, do I also need to apply any other product to get healthy skin.
