Introduction
Walking into a store (or browsing a website) and seeing multiple soap options can be overwhelming. Which one is right for YOU? Let’s break it down by skin type so you can make the best choice for your skin.
Understanding Your Skin Type
Oily Skin
- Shiny appearance, especially in T-zone
- Enlarged pores
- Prone to breakouts and blackheads
- Feels greasy by midday
Dry Skin
- Feels tight, especially after washing
- Flaky or rough texture
- Fine lines more visible
- May feel itchy or irritated
Combination Skin
- Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
- Dry or normal cheeks
- May have occasional breakouts in oily areas
Sensitive Skin
- Easily irritated by products
- Prone to redness or reactions
- May have conditions like eczema or rosacea
- Reacts to fragrances or harsh ingredients
Normal Skin
- Balanced (not too oily, not too dry)
- Few imperfections
- Not particularly sensitive
- Even texture and tone
For Oily & Combination Skin
Best Choice: Avir (Air)
- Balanced formula that cleanses without stripping
- Bentonite clay helps absorb excess oil
- Balsam & cedar scent is fresh and grounding
- Cuts through excess without throwing skin off balance
Also Great: Laila (Night)
- Activated charcoal draws out impurities and excess oil
- Deep pore cleansing for acne-prone skin
- Powerful enough to reset skin without harsh stripping
Why These Work: Oily skin still needs moisture—harsh soaps that strip all oil actually trigger your skin to produce MORE oil. Our bars cleanse effectively while maintaining balance.
For Dry & Sensitive Skin
Best Choice: Dvash (Honey)
- Unscented (no fragrance to irritate)
- Honey is a natural humectant that draws moisture in
- Tallow closely mimics skin’s natural oils
- Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin
Also Great: Lehaet (Slow) Liquid Soap
- Deep conditioning formula
- Rich enough for very dry skin
- Supports natural moisture barrier
- White tea & thyme scent is gentle and soothing
For Acne-Prone Skin
Best Choice: Laila (Night)
- Activated charcoal detoxifies deep within pores
- Draws out dirt and impurities like a magnet
- Helps prevent future breakouts
For Normal Skin
Best Choice: Any of our products! Choose based on scent preference, format (bar or liquid), or specific benefits. Popular choices for normal skin include Avir (Air) for daily all-purpose use, Haver (Friend) if you’re vegan, and Hayim (Life) body butter for lightweight moisture.
Don’t Forget Body Butter!
For Very Dry Skin: Ahava (Love)
- Whipped shea butter and tallow
- Deep, intense hydration
- Perfect for winter months or very dry skin
For Normal to Mildly Dry Skin: Hayim (Life)
- Pure tallow formula
- Skin barrier support
- Anti-aging benefits from vitamins A, D, E, K
