Featuring Grizzly Bars Soap & Shampoo Bars

Using bar soap is a time-tested and eco-friendly way to keep clean—and with Grizzly Bars Soap & Shampoo Bars, you get the perfect blend of rugged freshness and natural care for your skin and hair. Whether you’re out on an adventure or in the comfort of your home, here’s how to get the most out of your bar soap.

🧼 Step-by-Step: How to Wash with Bar Soap

Step 1

Wet Your Skin & the Bar
Start by rinsing your body or hands with warm water. This helps open up your pores and preps your skin for a better cleanse. Wet the bar soap as well to activate the lather.

Step 2

Lather the Soap
Rub the bar between your hands to create a lather, or apply the bar directly to your skin in circular motions. Grizzly Bars are designed to produce a rich, satisfying foam whether you’re scrubbing in a mountain stream or a morning shower.

Step 3

Apply to Skin or Hair
Use your hands or the bar directly to apply the lather across your body. For shampoo bars, work the lather into your hair and scalp with your fingertips—just like you would with liquid shampoo.

Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off all the soap using clean, warm water. Be sure there’s no residue left behind on your skin or hair.

Step 5

Dry Off
Pat yourself dry with a clean towel. If you’ve used Grizzly Bars’ all-in-one soap & shampoo bars, your skin will feel clean and hydrated—no dryness, no fuss.

🗓️ Make Your Grizzly Bar Last Longer

Grizzly Bars are built to endure—but even the toughest bar soap needs a little care. To extend the life of your soap, consider these tips:

  • Use a Soap Dish That Drains
    Avoid letting your bar sit in water. Use a wooden or slotted soap dish to allow air flow and keep the bar dry between uses. đź›’Shop Bamboo Soap Dish
  • Try a Soap Saver Bag
    These exfoliating mesh pouches help create more lather, reduce soap waste, and let you hang the bar to dry. Great for travel and campsite use too! đź›’Shop Sisal Soap Saver Bag
  • Keep It Out of Direct Water Spray
    If your soap sits directly under the shower stream, it’ll dissolve faster. Store it on a high shelf or ledge away from running water.
