Beauty Soap stars Josephine Fairley washes her hands of liquid soap in those environment-wrecking plastic bottles and goes back to the good old bar variety I’m all for life’s small pleasures. A delicious cappuccino, enjoyed while gazing at a beautiful view. Dancing around the kitchen, cooking dinner to a favourite Madeleine Peyroux album. Or a new bar of soap: fresh, fragrant, the beauty equivalent of a brand new notebook, or crisp clean sheets. And you know? I absolutely never take it for granted. A couple of decades ago I went to Romania with The Body Shop’s Anita Roddick, to visit the orphanages she was sponsoring. One night, we drove around the nearby villages giving away bars of soap from the back of a Body Shop truck – almost triggering a stampede, because it turned out: there’d been no soap in that part of the country for 10 whole years. Gulp. So I’m delighted that proper bar soap, eclipsed for virtually a generation by hand and body washes in pump-action plastic bottles, is making a comeback. Banho citron verbena soap £14 Liberty London libertylondon.com And those bottles are one of the main reasons I’m glad about this shift. Increasingly (thanks largely to David Attenborough…) we are all starting to think about the catastrophic environmental impact of single-use plastics - and the bottles which hand and body washes come in are some of the worst offenders. The components in them can feature several different types of plastic and sometimes a metal spring, as Chypre cedar poinsettia soap £14 Liberty London libertylondon.com “We are all starting to think about the catastrophic impact of singleuse plastic bottles” well, which makes them Luxury Soap Collection £40 Floris florislondon.com challenging to recycle. In landfill, these hard plastics will take thousands of years to break down, so switching to a product where the only packaging is a piece of paper or simple cardboard is a very simple step to take to cut down on plastic wastage in your life. Another reason to shift back to the kind of soap our grannies used – and which has been traced back as far as ancient Babylon 5000 years ago – is that it doesn’t contain any of the increasingly controversial ingredients which are found in the liquid kind. Liquid soaps contain sulfate foaming agents, triclosan and formaldehyde, all of which have been linked to health issues – too complex to go into here, but very much worth Googling. And I have another personal reason for loving old-fashioned bars of beautifully fragrant soap: I like to store them in drawers where they make my underwear, knits and bed linen smell pretty. Another advantage of this is that if you keep them for a while they harden off and will last longer, rather than turning to pulp in your soap dish. Which is something you may need to invest in again – or possibly for the first time – if you’ve been using liquid soap. I like to hunt out pieces of vintage china and moulded glass to keep my soap in, but I’ve noticed Zara Home do particularly good soap dishes, a nice new accessory for your bathroom. There are countless fabulous soaps, out there, but I thought I’d share my favourites. So if you’re in the mood for a new bar, after this, get in a lather over these. Little Soap Company Natural Olive Oil Bar Soap, £2.95 (littlesoapcompany.co.uk). Little Soap Company create artisan-style soaps in the Cotswolds, literally - the business began on the founder Emma Heathcote-James’s kitchen table. This one uses organic extra virgin olive oil, as simple, but effective, as soap gets and the olive oil ensures it’s not drying. Ideal for the touchiest skins. (I find that some artisan hand-made soaps go squishy very quickly, but Little Soap Company’s are more resilient.) 137 wealdentimes.co.uk
