When it comes to choosing between body wash and bar soap, the decision often boils down to convenience, cost, and environmental considerations. At Cottonwood Soap Company, we believe our luxurious bar soaps offer an unparalleled experience that outshines any bottle of body wash—and we’re here to explain why.
The Hidden Water Content in Body Wash
Did you know that the typical bottle of body wash contains 60-80% water? That’s right! The majority of what you’re paying for in body wash isn’t the skin-loving ingredients but water. While water is essential for the liquid consistency, it dilutes the product and often requires a significant amount of synthetic chemicals and preservatives to maintain stability.
In contrast, our artisan bar soaps are concentrated and packed with high-quality, skin-nourishing ingredients like rice bran oil, shea butter, and other skin loving ingredients. You’re getting the full benefit of these premium components in every use, with no unnecessary fillers.
The Environmental Cost of Single-Use Plastic Bottles
Body wash doesn’t just come with excess water; it also comes with single-use plastic bottles that contribute to a growing environmental crisis. Over 550 million shampoo bottles are discarded annually in the U.S. alone, and body wash bottles add significantly to this staggering number. Most of these bottles are made from non-recyclable plastics or end up in landfills and oceans, where they take hundreds of years to decompose.
Choosing bar soap is an easy and impactful way to reduce plastic waste. At Cottonwood Soap Company, our soaps come with minimal, eco-friendly packaging—because we believe in creating a sustainable future, one luxurious bar at a time.
