I've been a body wash user for years, but lately, I've gotten fond of soap primarily because of economical reasons; it still is much more affordable compared to using body wash, plus lately, more and more awesome and moisturizing soaps have hit retail shelves and online through local and international brands.
Here are my top moisturizing bar picks. Personally tried and tested them, and I guarantee that when you try these, you'll surely give the good ol' bar of soap a second look. ;)
1. VITAPACK 8-IN-1 SOAP
Price: PP
- A soap that's ripe with benefits. This new product by Vitapack has a frothy, soft foam that leaves skin feeling moisturized, plus I noticed that it helps prevent odor too. My skin feels so nice every time I use this!
2. HARU SOAPERIE SOAP WITH TSUBAKI OIL
Price: PP
- A new discovery on Instagram. Haru Soaperie is owned by one of my husband's friends and she's the brain behind this fast- rising homemade skin care brand. Haru prides themselves on Tsubaki Oil used in all of their soap preparations. This one leaves skin buttery soft and silky, plus the soaps are good enough to eat!
3. COCO LINE INTENSIVE MOISTURIZING SOAP
Price: P
- One of my best skin care finds for the year. Coco Line uses locally- sourced coconut oil to infuse their body wash and lotion, and as the base of the soap. The soap has an uplifting tropical coconut fragrance and has smoothing, moisturizing, and powerful deodorizing properties.
Price: P
- My affordable go- to moisturizing bar. This soap softens the skin and cleans without removing essential moisture. My favorite is Rose and Milk.
Price: P
- Another good, affordable moisturizing bar. It has Milk that naturally moisturizes the skin plus the scent is so soothing, perfect to use after a long, tiring day.
Price: PP
- A century- old soap brand from Japan and is a favorite among online beauty lovers. A lot love this soap for its super moisturizing properties. Blue is the classic one and Red is laced with Rose. This is a mild, moisturizing soap that is less drying than commercial soaps plus you can use it on the face too.
Price: PP
- A soap with a heart. Kala is a local brand that helps Carabao farmers in Bulacan. The soaps are made with fresh Carabao's milk and is great for dry, flaky skin. I also like using this when the weather is cool because Carabao Milk somewhat has a moisture- locking effect on me.
Price: PPP
- A soap that is moisturizing as it is unique! Shower Jelly is an innovative soap by Lush; it is made of a glycerin base and fruit juices that will literally leave your skin smelling amazing and supple; zero dryness experienced with this product!
Price: PPP
- Creamy, rich, and softens the skin, plus it is infused with real Bulgarian Rose extracts to provide deep hydration.
10. CETAPHIL GENTLE CLEANSING ANTI-BACTERIAL BAR
Price: PPP
- For the dry and sensitive, Cetaphil's generously- sized bars will soften, smooth, and moisturize skin without the irritation.
Which of these soaps are your favorites?

Is the cow soap made from cow's milk or it's just a name? I've been using Olay bodywash for a year but just recently, I decided to give a local brand, Bali Bliss soap a try. I was just given to me and I loved it. It was supposed to lighten skin but I still can't vouch for that since I'm just on my second week of using it but I love the lather and the clean feel after bathing.
ReplyDeleteSuper agree with your list especially Palmolive White Plus Milk, Olay Whitening Bar and Coco Line Intensive Moisturizing Soap! I personally love Coco Line product range. Been using soap and body wash from their brand. The scent of cocount is very light and not too empowering and I noticed my skin gets very soft and moisturized.
ReplyDeleteVitapack 8-in-1 soap is a bit pricey but I feel like it is worth it since it does not melt easily unlike other soaps. So if if I have the budget and I want to pamper myself, I also splurge on this soap.
Wanna try that Lush Santa's Belly Shower Jelly on your list! :)
Super love ko po ung palmolive soap and body wash ms martha :) Ung Haru mgkamukha po sila ng artisan soap :)

ReplyDeleteI have also been opting for soap bars lately. Ever since I started my business, I tried networking with soap makers here in the Philippines and I've gotten to know a lot who really focus not just on the physical appearance of their soap but also with the ingredients and benefits it can give its consumers. :)

I love lush. I'm sure yung lush santa belly shower jelly is of good quality. Tried and tested ko na din ang Cetaphil. Cocoline sounds good too. Thank you for this article. 😃
ReplyDeleteYung nanta try ko palang po ay Olay super nice at ang ganda nya sa skin ko ka kaya naman napa lipat takaga ako sa soap na ito.
ReplyDeletePati yung Cetaphil Soap ang sarap nya sa skin at Moisturize po talaga ss kamahalan minsan lang po kami bumili nito actually para kay Baby lang tinitipid ko po para if ever na mag ka allergy o may irritate skin ni Baby mabilis mawala using this soap.
Is it weird that whenever you post about soaps, my mouth experiences this mouth watering sensation? I mean, i don't eat soaps HAHAHAHA but there's just something about them that makes me drool! I'm in awe when I saw the ones from haru and Lush! I'm also glad there are some soaps in your list that are easily accessible like Olay and Palmolive. Thanks for this, Ms. Martha!
ReplyDeleteCoco Line is love. ❤ Sobrang bango at I really love the scents nakaka adik gamitin.
ReplyDeletePALMOLIVE!! I really love their soaps! super babango at smooth sa balat! cetaphil for my kids!
ReplyDeleteI am currently using Olay Rose and I love it. I use an antibacterial soap first and then use Olay after. I love the scent it leaves on my skin. :) May I ask where I can buy Cocoline? I read your review about it so I would like to try. Thanks, Martha!
ReplyDeleteI am totally in love with soaps that I even hoard then 😍 haha You should also check out Phina's Little Factory. They're on IG and FB. Organic and homemade soaps that is really good 👍
ReplyDeleteI love Olay and Palmolive! I have Vitapack soap but I haven't use it yet, I'm so excited to try.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend soap for acne prone skin. Will truly appreciate. Thanks in advance.
You should try Perla soap too! (Yes, the laundry soap) My grandmother always used it to wash intimates and sometimes she'll use it for her skin. She passed on the trick to me and when I'm stressed and breaking out, I use it and it helps calm the zits. The secret is the uber gentle and natural formulation! Coconut oil all the way! :D
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
