LBB Recommends 14 Soap Brands That Are Organic, Chemical-free & Smell Divine

The brand's identity is all about being 'organic by nature', which is why we tend to turn to their products for its clean and ethical skin, hair and body care products. Having used their lip balm, we can blindly vouch for the ingredients used, which are natural, healing and do what they claim! When it comes to soaps, they have a number of gourmet soaps, which are fruit, veggie and essential oil based. Each soap targets a different concern, which we think is pretty cool. For example, the coconut and vanilla one works best on dry skin, whereas the potato, tomato and lemongrass one reduces tan! 

Nykaa's in-house products are packed with good ingredients, results and properties that'll make you go back for more. From shower care ranges to skin and hair care to beauty, they've been expanding and how! When it comes to soaps, they fall under the Nykaa Naturals category, where you'll spot several beauty products that are made with clean and organic ingredients and are super affordable. We have our eye on the lavender and basil and tulsi purifying soaps. 

Mollis Soaps by Ritika and Ruchita is one such brand that emerged during the lockdown that cares about producing soaps good for both you and the environment. They have two kinds of soaps—one made with essential oils (to help relax those muscles) and the other made using fragrance oil (we dig soothing aromas). Mollis Soaps makes everything using only locally sourced ingredients with all their soaps being SLS and paraben-free.

Khadi Naturals is known for their ayurvedic products that are mild, clean and organic, they do everything from body and hair oils to shampoos, masks and scrubs. For soaps, you'll find a sizeable collection of them that are handmade and herbal, packed with essential oils. We love the charcoal one, which is best suited for anti-inflammatory and anti-acne causing properties. 

Forest Essentials needs no introduction when it comes to their stellar products, which are rooted in Ayurveda and backed by science. They have several products that range from hair, skin and body care. When it comes to soaps, they have a few you can choose from. Our favourites have got to be the illuminating silk soap, and the sugar soap nargis. While the products might be on the pricier side, you can be rest assured that they'll last, with even more lasting effects. 

Biotique is a brand that can be easily recognised as Ayurveda and clean beauty on a budget. Their products are ayurvedic, with natural fruit and vegetable extracts pumped into every product. They do everything from body washes, shampoos to lip balms! Soaps are a big part too, with most of them being 'revitalising' or nourishing in nature. We've got out eye on the almond oil soap, which is a must have especially as the seasons change to chillier times. 

This beauty brand has more than one thing in its kitty. From skin care products to body care, they have them all. But we would first like to talk about the handmade soaps. They are paraben-free, cruelty-free, sulphate-free, organic and vegan. They have Black Bamboo Charcoal, Tropical Cream Coconut Butter, French Flower Vanilla and Early Earth African Mud soaps. We love their Artisan Collection Of 7 Luxury Handmade Soaps—it'd make for a pretty awesome gift.

Orange Bean, started by Namitha, does handmade soaps, bath salts and lip balms in different flavours. Namitha makes most of her soaps using goat milk as the base and then adds other ingredients. You should definitely try out her pink clay goat milk soap, charcoal soap, cucumber and mint soap, lavender soap, turmeric soap, which is made of homemade turmeric oil, basil oil and castor oil. Oh, and our favourite ones are the printed soaps—bird printed ones and Magnolia printed ones. So pretty!

Earthy Sapo makes use of ingredients such as reetha, methi, coconut milk, neem, aloe vera and a lot many other natural ingredients are that good for our skin. They have bathing soap bars made with papaya, multani-mitti, coconut milk and neem while shampoo bars come in reetha, shikakai and other natural ingredients that we are sure will make your hair strong and shiny. 

If you've been apprehensive about buying hemp products, the hemp plant is being cultivated for more than 12,000 years now for food, fibre and oil. Hemp oil, especially, is great for our skin and body. Satliva's skincare range and bath products are made using cold-pressed hemp seed oil as their base in combination with essential oils like Argan and jojoba oils to provide maximum nourishment. If you have dry skin, go for their hemp with avocado soap, oily skin people can choose their hemp with shea butter and activated charcoal body soap bar and hemp with cocoa butter body soap bar works for all. 

Well-oiled in the production of all-natural essential oils, Soulflower has gone ahead and incorporated these beautiful aromas into its range of soaps and body lotions. The Charcoal You Smell Good soap acts as a scrub as well as a skin deodoriser and cleanser. The Happy Feet Soap with tea tree, peppermint and lemon peel sounds like just the thing after we’ve stepped into a puddle. All their products are 100 per cent vegan, cruelty-free, halal and made with natural ingredients. 

What's the one thing we can all collectively do without? Harsh chemicals, right? When we stumbled across Ancient Living, we were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of products that the brand offers, which are cruelty free, they work with farmers and artisans and aim for a more sustainable, ethical approach that stays connected to our roots. Their soaps are synthetic-free, handmade and made with pure ingredients that are good for your skin. We absolutely love their Multanimitti Handmade Soaps.

When fruit, flower, berries, herb extracts and oils are used to make skincare products, be rest assured that it will be a treat to your skin. Made with all things natural, Mirah Belle is known for its cruelty-free skincare products. We absolutely love the soaps that leave our skin radiant and soft. Try their lavender rosemary anti-blemish soap, or the goat milk with honey and shea butter soap that's specifically curated for sensitive skin. Then there's also a coconut milk and rosehip skin repair soap. Feeling more experimental? Try the mogra moisturizing soap, the cinnamon, turmeric, chamomile or the anti-acne soap.
