HOW WE MAKE OUR SOAP
The care behind every bar
No soap base. Made from scratch.
Every My Naked Bar soap is formulated and handcrafted in small batches in Singapore using the cold-process method.
Cold process is a traditional method of making soap from scratch.
It starts with simple, honest ingredients.
We start with nourishing plant-based oils and butters.
A necessary ingredient that helps turn oils into soap.
Through a natural reaction called saponification, oils and alkali transform into soap.
Naturally formed as a by-product and retained in our soap.
It is a slower way to make soap. After each batch is crafted, the bars are left to cure for at least one month before they are ready.
THE CURE MATTERS
WHY WE WAIT AT LEAST ONE MONTH
After cutting, our bars are left to cure for at least one month.
This helps excess water evaporate, so the bar becomes harder, longer lasting and able to lather more beautifully over time.
It also gives each bar time to settle properly before it reaches your bathroom.
We choose every ingredient from start to finish.
We choose to only use natural and plant-based ingredients.
As less is more, we appreciate the beauty of what nature brings.
Glycerin is a natural by-product of saponification and is retained in our soaps.
It draws in moisture and helps keep skin feeling comfortable.
Saponification generates its own heat. We do not need to provide external heat.
We give the process time and space so nature can do its work.
We can superfat our recipes with extra oils and butters.
This leaves a little goodness behind to nourish and care for your skin after cleansing.
Handcrafted in small batches
Mix
We watch the texture closely to gauge when the batter is ready, because every soap recipe behaves differently.
Pour
Small batches let us pour with care and respond to the character of each formula as it takes shape.
Cut
Every loaf is cut by hand, so each bar carries the slight variations that come with real craft.
Stamp
Each bar is stamped by hand, one at a time, with the small irregularities that make it unmistakably handmade.
Cure
The bars are left to cure for at least one month, becoming harder, longer lasting and able to lather more beautifully over time.
Made with purpose
formulated for different skin needs
Skin needs, bathing habits and scent preferences are personal.
That is why we formulate each bar with a specific purpose, skin feel or use experience in mind, from simpler bars with no added scent to essential-oil bars, face bars, everyday shower bars and occasional scrub bars.
All our soap bars are kept vegan, so they can be as accessible and inclusive as possible for a wider group of users.
Open to experiencing a bar soap?
Choose the soap that fits your skin, routine and preferences.
Explore eczema-friendly bars for sensitive skin, face and body bars for everyday care, and scrub bars for the days you want a little more polish.
With daily use on face and body, each bar should last around one month or more.
How long it lasts depends on how often it is used, how much water it is exposed to, and whether it is allowed to dry properly between washes.

Thank you for being open to packaging that looks a little different. By giving these cartons another useful life, we reduce the need for newly made packaging and keep perfectly usable material in circulation for longer.
A little less polished. A lot more purposeful.
