Traditional bar soaps in Singapore are slowly fading off the scene. The majority of us have switched to shower gels and cleansers and forgot the god ol’ bar soap. But did you know that most shower gels in the market today are made of harmful ingredients such as chemical detergents and fragrances? These ingredients can dehydrate and damage your skin in long run. In contrast, bar soaps are less damaging as they are generally made of nourishing oils and natural ingredients that can improve your skin. 

Now, if you are on the lookout for good bar soaps in Singapore, you have come to the right place. Below, Beauty Insider has gathered a list of our favourite bar soaps in Singapore that are packed with skin-soothing ingredients that can truly nourish your skin. Plus, all these soaps are formulated to be gentle and not abrasive so they can suit a variety of skin types and concerns.
