Salt soap bar benefits for skin: what the salt does

A salt soap bar gives your face and body a clean, gently exfoliating wash from one bar, with no plastic bottle. The salt soap bar benefits for skin come from three simple things: salt that polishes, plant oils that soften, and one bar for both face and body. I started Elevated Earth in my own bathtub, mixing scrubs and salts from plants and minerals, so salt has been part of this ritual from the very beginning.

How does a salt soap bar cleanse skin?

A salt soap bar is soap made from plant oils with salt worked into it. The soap washes and the salt gently polishes, so one bar cleanses, exfoliates and softens skin in a single step.

Our Forever Green Face & Body Bar Soap is made from saponified olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter, with salt and pine oil. It is suitable for daily use on the face and the body, so one bar covers the whole wash.

Why plant oils matter in sea salt soap

Plant oils are what turn salt into a bar that is kind to skin. Olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter are made into soap, and that soap carries the salt across the skin as it cleanses and softens.

Pine oil gives the bar its clean, forest scent. In our Ingredients Library we describe pine oil as uplifting and grounding, an oil that leaves skin feeling refreshed.

How to use a salt bar on face and body

Massage the bar onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Letting the bar dry out between washes keeps it from going soft.

Our Exfoliating Soap Saver Bag fits standard bar soaps and hangs to dry between uses, so every sliver of the bar gets used.

Trade your bottled face wash and body wash for one salt bar, and your shower shelf holds a single bar that washes you from face to feet.
