Soap bars aren’t typically the first thing we think about when it comes to luxury beauty products. Still, thanks to the industry’s heightened focus on sustainability, countless skincare and fragrance brands have poured time and effort into creating luxury soap options.
First, let’s discuss sustainability. Soap bars tend to last significantly longer than their liquid counterparts, meaning if you do decide to spend a little extra on a luxury soap, you can rest assured you’ll undoubtedly get your money’s worth. Another factor we need to take into account is the packaging—or lack thereof. While liquid soaps are housed in plastic or glass bottles, hard luxury soap bars boast considerable less packaging. More often than not, they’re wrapped in paper, making it easy to recycle with less adverse environmental impact.

Now, let’s talk about what makes luxury soap such a treat. Gone are the days of harsh soap bars, where moisture-rich and perfumed ingredients were pretty much unheard of. Soap, however, has had a serious glow-up. Fragrance houses Diptyque, Byredo, and Le Labo have bestowed them with their coveted scents, while luxury skincare brands, including Sisley, Malin + Goetz, and Fresh have created frothy and foamy bars that not only cleanse but nourish the skin. Throw in offerings adorned with Chanel and Dior logos, and treating yourself to a luxury soap is too tempting to resist.Â
