Kleen Natural Shower Soaps (on ropes)

Most people these days take showers over bath, because they save water and are usually more affordable than baths (although power showers do use a lot of water and energy).

If you like to take a morning or evening shower, here are some simple swaps that are good for the planet, and good for your pocket!

Choose unscented bathroom toiletries for pregnancy/nursing, and avoid shea butter for latex allergies.

Choose Shower-Friendly Soaps on Ropes

Although bar soaps cut out the packaging of plastic shower bottles, they do tend to go a bit squishy, so to rid the hassle of buying slatted soap dishes, you can buy vegan bar soaps (with no palm oil) that come with attached ropes. So just hang them up after use, and let gravity dry them out.

Kleen Soaps are big chunky bars, which should last a few weeks in the shower. They retain moisturising glycerine, so don’t dry your skin out, like normal soaps. Choose from:

Unscented oat milk soaps
Activated charcoal soaps (for acne)
Floral soaps (for feminine ladies!)
Exfoliating pumice soaps
Pink clay & lemongrass (for dry skin)
Tall, dark and handsome (for men!)
