About us
our story
A soap brand that began with one small question: how do we give better, waste less, and still make people feel cared for?
Not at the planet’s expense, but as a way to ripple out a stronger voice for our shared home.
the beginning
It started with a Teachers' Day gift
Every Teachers' Day, I found myself facing the same problem: how do you give a gift that shows real appreciation, feels good to receive, and does not become one more item on a teacher's already full shelf of gifts?
I wanted something thoughtful. Something useful. Something that could offer a small moment of wellness, instead of adding to clutter.
That search led me to learn soapmaking.
Then I got completely hooked.
I made soap, gave away soap, tested soap, tweaked soap, and somehow kept making more. The feedback was encouraging. People came back pleasantly surprised by how nourishing the bars felt, and some shared that the soaps had helped soothe their skin conditions.
That was when I started to think: maybe these soaps could do some good.
I knew the bars had potential. They were useful. They were beautiful. They made sense as thoughtful gifts and daily care. But the "why" was not strong enough for me yet.
Then came the light bulb moment: rescued milk cartons.
Milk cartons are difficult to recycle through regular channels because of their layered materials. But they are sturdy, familiar, and everywhere. What if they could be cleaned, rescued and turned into soap packaging?
More importantly, what if the packaging could start conversations?

Our attempts to minimise packaging waste in the early days
"I wanted My Naked Bar to inspire change in the gifting scene, to advocate lower waste gifting and a more thoughtful everyday lifestyle."
The bar must feel good first.
No miracle claims. No unnecessary drama.
Vegan bars, different recipes, and options for sensitive skin, face, body and everyday use.
Over time, another truth became clear.
Before anyone cares about sustainability, packaging, workshops or big ideas, the soap itself has to earn trust.
It touches skin every day. For people with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, that trust matters even more.
So we became more disciplined about the bars. More thoughtful about formulas. More careful with ingredients, scent, curing, texture and skin feel.
We do not promise miracle skin. We do not claim to treat eczema. We make eczema-friendly handcrafted vegan soap bars for sensitive-skinned humans who want everyday care that feels gentler, more intentional, and less wasteful.
The planet matters deeply to us. But the bar still has to feel good on your skin.
Today, we still make soap bars. But we stay rooted in the cause that started everything: making everyday care more thoughtful, less wasteful, and easier for people to take part in.
Our bars are daily low-waste lifestyle swaps that care for both people and planet, one bathroom, one gift, and one rescued milk carton at a time.
The brand is built on careful craft, practical design, rescued milk carton packaging, community participation, and a quiet refusal to accept throwaway habits as normal.
We make soap bars, but we also seed thoughts, start conversations, and inspire small acts of rebellion against throwaway habits through lower-waste gifting and thought-provoking workshops.
We make everyday care feel good while staying true to our roots: low waste, practical, natural, and made for real life.
We make an intentional lifestyle welcoming for more people to take part. No preaching. Nothing performative.
We make lower-waste choices feel useful, thoughtful and easy to choose, not like a compromise.
tHE CLEAN LITTLE REBELLION
Gentle on skin. Lighter on waste. A little rebellious about both.
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.
