Soap for Sensitive Skin: What Should You Look For?

Choosing soap for sensitive skin can be confusing. Ingredients, fragrance, cleansing feel and your own preferences all matter. A good place to start is the product's complete ingredient list and clear fragrance information.

Start With the Ingredient List

Look for a complete ingredient list before purchasing. Handmade soap can contain different combinations of oils, butters, oats, clays, botanical ingredients and scent ingredients. If you already know that certain ingredients do not work well for you, checking the label can help you make a more informed choice.

Just Soap uses carefully selected ingredients across its handmade soap collection, with formulas that may include olive oil, coconut oil, African Shea Butter and colloidal oatmeal.

Consider Fragrance

Some shoppers prefer no added fragrance, while others enjoy a lightly scented bar. Always check the individual product description and ingredient information rather than assuming a bar's fragrance level from its name alone.

Why Consider Colloidal Oatmeal?

Colloidal oatmeal is finely ground oatmeal prepared for use in personal-care formulations. Just Soap offers a Colloidal Oatmeal Handmade Soap for shoppers who specifically want a bar featuring colloidal oatmeal.

What About African Shea Butter?

African Shea Butter is a plant-based butter used in many personal-care products and handmade soap formulas. Compare our African Shea Butter Soap collection and Sheariffic African Shea Butter & Oatmeal Handmade Soap Bar.
