What’s the magic formula? Our Bare Bars are free from the usual suspects like preservatives, parabens, silicones, phthalates, and sulfates—all the harsh stuff that loves to irritate sensitive skin. Instead, we’ve packed our bars with moisturizing olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. These skin-loving ingredients help lock in moisture, soothe inflammation, and leave your skin feeling soft and happy.

Plus, if you’re super sensitive, we’ve got “The Bare” Bare Bar. It’s fragrance-free, color-free, and irritation-free—perfect for those times when less is definitely more.

2. Tame Acne Without Drying Out Your Skin

Let’s talk about acne-prone skin—frustrating at any age, right? While many soaps strip your skin dry, our Bare Bars take a gentler approach. They’re formulated with avocado oil and rice bran oil—two powerhouse ingredients that balance your skin’s natural oils without clogging pores. Avocado oil brings a healthy dose of vitamins to calm inflammation, while rice bran oil keeps things lightweight and breathable.

Oh, and did we mention the natural essential oils? They give our Bare Bars a lovely, subtle scent without any synthetic fragrances that could irritate your skin. So, you can enjoy fresh, clear skin without that harsh, chemical-laden after-feeling.

3. Sensitive Skin? Say No More!

Sensitive Skin 101: Building a Safe and Effective Routine
 
 

If you have sensitive skin, you know how challenging it can be to find products that soothe sensitive skin rather than irritate.  The good news is, you don’t need designer lotions or an elaborate 20-step skincare routine to achieve healthy, glowing skin. The most important factor is the quality of ingredients in your skincare products, as pure, simple ingredients can make the biggest impact on sensitive skin. High-quality, thoughtfully crafted products provide the nourishment and care your skin needs without the risk of irritation, allowing you to enjoy a radiant complexion with minimal effort.

At Water Sweets Soap Company, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy their skincare routine without the worry of flare-ups or discomfort. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you build a safe and effective routine for sensitive skin.

Understanding Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin can be incredibly troublesome. The constant battle with redness, dryness, itching, and burning can make even the simplest daily routines feel overwhelming. Aside from the discomfort—sensitive skin can also significantly impact self-esteem and confidence. This stress can create a vicious cycle, as it can further exacerbate skin sensitivity, making it even more challenging to manage.

Handcrafted soaps designed with sensitive skin in mind offer a compassionate alternative to mass-produced store brands. Unlike generic soaps that often contain harsh chemicals and preservatives, handcrafted options focus on using pure, simple ingredients that soothe and nourish. These artisanal products are formulated with care and expertise, ensuring they cater to the unique needs of sensitive skin. By choosing handcrafted soaps, you not only provide your skin with the gentle care it deserves but also support a more mindful and health-conscious approach to skincare. This thoughtful choice can make a world of difference in achieving and maintaining healthy, happy skin, free from unnecessary irritation and discomfort.

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing

Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine, especially for sensitive skin. Opt for a mild, fragrance-free cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Product Highlight: “The Bare” Bare Bar

A completely fragrance free and colorant free bar. This super nourishing and gentle soap with cleansing qualities that will not strip the skin of natural oils and moisture. Perfect for those who desire the gentlest of soaps.  100% all natural body bar.

Step 2: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Hydration is key to maintaining your skin’s barrier and preventing sensitivity. Look for moisturizers that are free from preservatives, parabens, silicones, phthalates, and sulfates.

Product Highlight: All Natural Lotion Bars

This scent free, colorant free lotion bar will soothe your dry, cracked, itchy skin without greasy liquid lotion.  This lotion bar is made with the finest of ingredients that you will experience the first time you use it. Simply rub the bar on your skin and your natural body heat will melt the lotion like butter onto your skin. This bar is packaged in an attractive tin for easy and convenient storage.

Step 3: Targeted Treatments

If you suffer from specific skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or acne, incorporating targeted treatments can bring significant relief. Choose products that are formulated to be gentle and effective.

Product Highlight: All Natural Salt Bar

Our Salt Bars are a luxurious blend of sea salt and rich, moisturizing oils, designed to exfoliate and nourish your skin gently. Each bar provides a spa-like experience, leaving your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and invigorated. Ideal for those with acne, our Salt Bars help to cleanse pores and reduce inflammation, promoting clearer, healthier skin.

Step 4: Protect from the Elements

Environmental factors such as sun exposure and harsh weather can aggravate sensitive skin. Incorporate a broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective measures into your routine. A Mineral SunScreen provides non-irritating sun protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It’s free from harmful chemicals and is suitable for daily use, ensuring your skin stays protected and healthy.

Step 5: Listen to Your Skin

Your skin knows best. Pay attention to how it reacts to different products and routines. If something causes irritation, discontinue use and consult with a dermatologist if necessary.

Healthy, Hydrated Skin Routines

Remember, a consistent and gentle skincare routine is the key to managing sensitive skin. Avoid harsh chemicals commonly found in other products and trust in the power of pure ingredients. With Water Sweets Soap Company, you can enjoy a soothing and effective skincare experience that prioritizes your skin’s health and happiness.

At Water Sweets Soap, our products are crafted with only the highest quality, simple ingredients, ensuring a gentle and nurturing experience. We’re confident that our gentle bath essentials can often bring relief to conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne, promoting overall skin health and comfort.

Building a safe and effective routine for sensitive skin doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the right products and a mindful approach, you can achieve healthy, hydrated skin that feels as good as it looks. Trust Water Sweets Soap Company to be your partner in gentle skincare.

Best Acne Prone Skincare Tips

Acne-prone skin can be a challenging journey, but with the right skincare tips and routines, you can achieve clear, healthy skin. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we understand the struggle and are here to guide you with gentle, effective solutions. Here are our top skincare tips for managing acne-prone skin:

1. Choose Gentle Cleansers

Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and more breakouts. Opt for a gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt and excess oil without causing dryness. Our Bare Bars are crafted with the finest ingredients to cleanse your skin while keeping it balanced and hydrated.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin, even if you have acne-prone skin. Dehydrated skin can produce more oil to compensate, leading to more breakouts. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer like our All Natural Lotion Bars, which provides essential moisture without clogging pores.

3. Exfoliate Mindfully

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that can clog pores, but over-exfoliating can irritate your skin and exacerbate acne. Aim to exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a gentle product. Our Facial Exfoliant and Body Sugar Scrubs offer a mild exfoliation that soothes and rejuvenates your skin.

4. Incorporate Soothing Ingredients

When caring for acne-prone skin, the ingredients in your skincare products make a world of difference. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we carefully select every component to ensure it calms and nurtures your skin. Ingredients like green tea, high-quality oils, and oatmeal are perfect examples of what to look for. Choosing products with beneficial ingredients can significantly improve the health and appearance of your skin.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Steer clear of products containing preservatives, parabens, silicones, phthalates, and sulfates. These harsh chemicals can irritate your skin and worsen acne. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we ensure that our products are free from these harmful ingredients, providing you with pure, simple skincare solutions.

6. Embrace Antibacterial Ingredients

Using ingredients with anti-bacterial properties is crucial in managing acne-prone skin. Ingredients like Dead Sea salt and pink Himalayan salt are known for their ability to detoxify, purify, and cleanse the skin. These ingredients help eliminate bacteria and impurities, reducing the risk of breakouts. Our Salt Bars, formulated with powerful ingredients, offer an excellent remedy for acne. Incorporating products with these anti-bacterial components into your routine can lead to clearer, healthier skin.

7. Keep Your Hands Off

As tempting as it might be, avoid picking or squeezing your pimples. This can lead to scarring and further inflammation. Instead, let your skincare products do the work and be patient with your skin.

8. Consistency is Key

Achieving clear skin doesn’t happen overnight. Stick to your skincare routine and be consistent. It takes time for your skin to heal and adapt to new products.

9. Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Your skin reflects your overall health. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and get enough sleep. Stress management is also crucial, as stress can trigger acne flare-ups.

10. Seek Professional Advice

If your acne persists despite following a diligent skincare routine, it might be time to consult a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and treatments that suit your specific skin needs.

At Water Sweets Soap Company, we are committed to providing you with high-quality, gentle skincare products that promote healthy, hydrated skin. Our gentle bath essentials can often bring relief to skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Remember, healthy skin starts in the bath, and with the right care, you can achieve the clear, glowing skin you deserve.

The Best Natural Soap for Sensitive Skin

Finding the perfect soap for sensitive skin can feel like an endless search, but it doesn't have to be. Natural soaps offer a gentle, nourishing alternative to harsh, chemical-laden products that often irritate sensitive skin. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we’re passionate about creating products that prioritize your skin’s health and well-being. Let’s dive deeper into what makes a natural soap the best choice for sensitive skin.

What Makes a Natural Soap?

Natural soap is made using ingredients derived from nature rather than synthetic compounds. These soaps typically consist of natural oils, butters, and essential oils that cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. The key to a good natural soap lies in its simplicity and the purity of its ingredients. At Water Sweets Soap Company, our Bare Bars exemplify this approach by using only the best, pure, simple ingredients.


Benefits of Natural Soap

  1. Gentle on the Skin: Natural soaps are free from harsh chemicals that can cause irritation and dryness. Instead, they are formulated to maintain the skin’s natural balance, making them ideal for sensitive skin.

  2. Moisturizing: Many natural soaps contain ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil, which are known for their moisturizing properties. These ingredients help to keep the skin hydrated and supple.

  3. Eco-Friendly: Natural soaps are often biodegradable and free from synthetic additives, making them a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing natural soaps, you’re not only caring for your skin but also the planet.

  4. Rich in Nutrients: Natural ingredients are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that nourish and protect the skin. These nutrients help to improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin health.


Ingredients in Natural Soap to Look For

When choosing a natural soap for sensitive skin, look for ingredients that are known for their gentle and nourishing properties. 

Here are some key ingredients to seek out:

  • Olive Oil: A deeply moisturizing oil that’s rich in vitamins A and E, which help to repair and protect the skin.

  • Coconut Oil: Provides excellent cleansing properties without drying out the skin, and it has natural antibacterial benefits.

  • Shea Butter: Known for its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids, shea butter is incredibly nourishing and moisturizing.

  • Avocado Oil: Packed with vitamins E and D, avocado oil deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, helping to improve its elasticity and softness.

  • Essential Oils: Natural essential oils, like lavender or chamomile, can provide a gentle fragrance and additional skin benefits without the irritation that synthetic fragrances can cause.


Ingredients in Soaps to Avoid

Avoiding harsh chemicals is crucial when selecting soap for sensitive skin. Store brand soaps often irritate and dry out your skin. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we never use these harsh chemicals in our products, ensuring a gentle and irritation-free cleansing experience that nurtures and protects your delicate skin.

Here are some common ingredients to steer clear of:

  • Preservatives: These are often added to prolong shelf life but can be harsh and irritating to the skin.

  • Parabens: Used as preservatives in many skincare products, parabens can disrupt hormonal balance and cause skin irritation.

  • Silicones: While they can make products feel smooth, silicones can clog pores and lead to skin issues.

  • Phthalates: Often used to make fragrances last longer, phthalates have been linked to various health concerns.

  • Sulfates: These are strong detergents that can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.


Why Choose Water Sweets Soap Co. Bare Bars?

At Water Sweets Soap Company, we understand the challenges of managing sensitive skin. Our Bare Bars are crafted with love and care, using only the best, pure, simple ingredients to ensure our soaps provide a gentle and nurturing experience for your skin.


Our Bare Bars can often bring relief to conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, promoting healthy, hydrated skin that starts in the bath. With satisfaction guaranteed, you can trust that our products are made with your skin’s well-being in mind.

The Ingredients That Make Natural Soap Shops Stand Out

When it comes to taking care of our skin, the choices we make in our daily bathing rituals are more important than we might think. Natural soap shops, like Water Sweets Soap Company, are gaining popularity for their commitment to offering products that not only cleanse but also nourish the skin with every use. The difference lies in our ingredients—high quality, simple, and meticulously chosen for their skin-loving properties.  

What to Look For In A Natural Soap Shop

When searching for a natural soap shop, prioritize those that are transparent about their ingredient lists, ensuring they are free from preservatives, parabens, silicones, and phthalates. Look for companies that emphasize the use of pure, simple ingredients known for their skin-nourishing benefits, and value customer satisfaction, often backed by heartfelt testimonials. This approach guarantees you're choosing a brand that not only cares for your skin's health but also upholds ethical and sustainable practices in their production and sourcing.

All Natural – What Does It Mean?

When it comes to bath and skincare products, the terms "all natural" and "natural" can mean very different things. "Natural" might indicate that some ingredients are derived from natural sources, but the product can still contain synthetic components. On the other hand, "all natural" signifies that every ingredient in the product is found in nature, with no synthetic additives. This distinction is crucial for those who seek or require "all natural" products due to sensitive skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or acne, or for individuals aiming to avoid any potential irritation from synthetic substances. 

Our "Bare" line embodies the "all natural" ethos completely, offering products that are both scent and colorant free to provide the most gentle and pure skincare experience possible.

The Pure and Simple Philosophy

At the heart of natural soap shops is a philosophy that believes in the power of simplicity. Unlike conventional soaps laden with preservatives and harsh chemicals that often cause irritation and disrupt the skin's natural balance, natural soaps are crafted with ingredients that are kind to your skin. Water Sweets Soap Company has a “Bathe Clean” philosophy where we start with the fewest, simple ingredients to bring you the most pure products possible. 

Gentle on Skin, Tough on Impurities

Natural soap shops understand that healthy, hydrated skin starts with the highest quality, simple ingredients. The soaps are designed not just to cleanse but to moisturize and protect the skin's natural barrier. Ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, and olive oil are staples in our bath and skincare products, providing deep hydration and leaving the skin feeling soft and supple.

A Soothing Solution for Sensitive Skin

For those dealing with eczema, psoriasis, or acne, finding a soap that doesn't aggravate these conditions can be a challenge. Natural soap shops like Water Sweets Soap Company offer a ray of hope. By excluding irritants and incorporating the highest quality oils and anti-bacterial components like those found in our salt bars, our natural soaps and bars bring relief, promoting a soothing and nurturing experience that supports overall skin health.

The Aroma of Nature

Beyond the look and feel of your skin, natural soaps enchant with their scents— often derived from essential oils and botanical extracts. Our scents provide a therapeutic experience, turning a simple bath into a spa-like retreat.

The Personal Touch

Natural soap shops also stand out for their commitment to craftsmanship and community. We’re a small, family business, we sincerely appreciate each and every Water Sweet Soaps Company purchase, social media share, and gift you give. Your support makes our stores possible. Every day, we look forward to serving our community with the best soap, bath and body products, and customer service possible. We’ve spent years formulating the perfect products for all skin types.

Natural soap shops offer more than just soap; they provide a holistic approach to skincare, focusing on nourishment, protection, and wellness. By choosing soaps from places like Water Sweets Soap Company, you're not only making a decision that's good for your skin but also supporting ethical practices and the use of pure, simple ingredients. Experience the difference for yourself and embrace a healthier, more radiant complexion.

The Benefits of Using Handcrafted Soaps over Commercial Brands

It's easy to overlook the humble beginnings and the pure essence of traditional soap-making when the shelves of stores are lined with an array of commercial soap brands. Handcrafted soaps, made with clean and simple ingredients, offer many benefits, not just for your skin but for the environment as well. 

At Water Sweets Soap Company, we take pride in our handcrafted soaps, made with the finest ingredients, to ensure that your bath experience is not just about cleansing but nurturing your skin. 

The Benefits of Handcrafted Soaps

1. Natural Ingredients for Healthy Skin

One of the most compelling reasons to switch to handcrafted soaps is the quality and purity of ingredients. Unlike commercial soaps, which often contain harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, handcrafted soaps are made with ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils. These natural components are gentle on the skin, providing hydration and nourishment. For those who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne, handcrafted soaps can offer a soothing and nurturing experience, promoting overall skin health without the irritation caused by harsh chemicals.

2. Environmentally Friendly Choice

Handcrafted soaps are not just good for you; they’re good for the planet. With an emphasis on sustainability, our soaps are often packaged in eco-friendly materials, reducing plastic waste. Furthermore, the making of handcrafted soaps does not rely on large-scale industrial processes, which means a smaller carbon footprint. By choosing handcrafted soaps, you’re not just caring for your skin; you’re making a conscious decision to care for the environment.

3. Unique and Personal Touch

Each bar of handcrafted soap is unique, bearing the personal touch of our small family of artisans who made it. This uniqueness comes from the careful selection of ingredients, the process of creation, and the care poured into every perfect package. 

Unlike mass-produced soaps, handcrafted soaps come in a variety of scents, colors, and textures, allowing for a personalized bathing experience that commercial brands simply cannot offer.

Handcrafted Soaps for Sensitive Skin: A Soothing Skincare Routine

Sensitive skin requires special attention and care, especially when it comes to choosing the right products for your skincare routine. The key is to find products that cleanse and hydrate without causing irritation or discomfort. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we understand the delicate balance needed for sensitive skin, which is why we've crafted our Bare Bar line, featuring "The Bare" Bare Bar, our most gentle soap option designed specifically for those with sensitive skin.

Starting with the Bath: "The Bare" Bare Bar

For those with sensitive skin, the journey to healthy, hydrated skin begins in the bath with "The Bare" Bare Bar. This soap is completely free of fragrances and colorants, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to avoid the irritation often caused by these additives. Made with only the purest and simplest of ingredients, "The Bare" Bare Bar gently cleanses the skin without stripping away natural oils, leaving your skin feeling soft, soothed, and refreshed.

Locking in Moisture: All Natural Lotion Bar

Following your bath, it's essential to lock in moisture to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. Our unscented Natural Lotion Bar is designed to do just that. Its rich, nourishing formula glides onto the skin, providing a protective barrier that locks in moisture without leaving a greasy residue. Perfect for everyday use, this lotion bar is a must-have in your sensitive skincare routine, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and comfortable all day long.

Deep Hydration: Unscented Hydrating Skin Therapy

For those areas of your skin that need a little extra attention, our unscented Hydrating Skin Therapy offers deeper moisture for especially dry areas. This intensive moisturizer targets rough spots, such as elbows, knees, and heels, providing them with the extra nourishment they need. Like all our products, this lotion bar is unscented and made with high-quality ingredients, making it safe for even the most sensitive skin types.

Handcrafted Soaps for Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, etc.

Handcrafted soaps, with their gentle and pure ingredients, are an excellent choice for individuals with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne. The absence of harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and phthalates in our soaps ensures a soothing and nurturing experience, promoting the healing and health of delicate skin. 

Salt bars in particular, with their unique blend of natural salt and skin-nourishing ingredients, offer a range of benefits for various skin conditions, making them a wonderful addition to your skincare routine. Here at Water Sweets Soap Company, we carefully craft our salt bars to ensure they're not only gentle but also effective in promoting healthy, hydrated skin. Here's how our salt bars can make a difference:

  • Eczema: Salt bars are known for their ability to help soothe the dry, irritated skin associated with eczema. The minerals in the salt can help reduce inflammation and remove dead skin cells, promoting a healthier skin barrier.

  • Psoriasis: Similar to eczema, psoriasis sufferers may find relief with salt bars. The natural exfoliation provided by the salt can help reduce the buildup of plaques, alleviating discomfort and improving the appearance of the skin.

  • Acne: Salt has natural antibacterial properties, making salt bars an excellent choice for those battling acne. By helping to balance oil production and cleanse the skin of bacteria, salt bars can contribute to clearer, less congested skin.

  • Dry Skin: Despite their cleansing properties, salt bars also help to hydrate the skin. They draw moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple, rather than tight and dry.

At Water Sweets Soap Company, we carefully formulate our soaps to offer relief and support to those with sensitive skin conditions, making every bath a step towards healthier, more comfortable skin.

The benefits of using handcrafted soaps over commercial brands are clear. Not only are you choosing a healthier option for your skin, but you’re also making an environmentally conscious decision, supporting small businesses, and enjoying a product made with a personal touch. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we invite you to experience the difference that handcrafted soaps can make. Healthy, hydrated skin starts in the bath, and with our soaps, you’re taking the first step towards a more nurturing and satisfying bathing experience.
