What Are Clay Soaps?
Clay soaps are cleansing bars made with natural cosmetic clays such as kaolin, bentonite, yellow clay or Fuller’s earth.
Clay has long been used in skincare because of its absorbent properties. When incorporated into soap, it can help remove everyday dirt, excess surface oils and impurities while giving the bar its characteristic colour and texture.
Different types of clay behave slightly differently, which is why you will find several varieties across our collection.
Some clay soaps offer a gentler everyday cleanse, while others are combined with exfoliating ingredients such as oatmeal, coffee grounds, cranberry seeds or lavender seeds for a more textured bathing experience.
At Bella Forever, our natural clay soaps are designed for use on the hands and body and are made in the UK using vegan ingredients.
What Are the Benefits of Clay Soap?
Clay soap can be a lovely addition to a simple bath and body routine, particularly if you enjoy natural ingredients and traditional solid soap bars.
Depending on the clay and other ingredients used, our clay soaps may help:
- cleanse away everyday dirt and excess surface oils
- gently exfoliate dry or dull-feeling skin
- leave the skin feeling fresh and smooth
- provide a more textured cleansing experience
- reduce the need for plastic-packaged body wash
- make your everyday shower or bath feel more like a self-care ritual
Because each bar contains different clays and exfoliating ingredients, you can choose the one that best suits the type of cleanse and fragrance you prefer.
Which Clay Soap Should I Choose?
Kaolin Clay Soap
Kaolin is considered one of the gentler cosmetic clays and has natural absorbent properties.
Our Honey Oatmeal Clay Soap combines kaolin clay with real oatmeal for a softer, lightly exfoliating cleanse.
It is a great choice if you prefer a mild-feeling clay soap with a warm, comforting fragrance.
Bentonite Clay Soap
Bentonite clay is highly absorbent and commonly used in deep-cleansing skincare products.
Our Lavender & Vanilla Clay Soap combines bentonite with exfoliating lavender seeds and a relaxing floral fragrance.
Choose this one if you like a deeper-feeling cleanse with a soothing scent.
Yellow Clay Soap
Yellow clay provides gentle cleansing while helping absorb excess surface oil.
Our Orange & Ginger Clay Soap combines yellow clay with coffee grounds for added physical exfoliation.
Its citrus and ginger fragrance makes it especially suited to an invigorating morning shower.
Charcoal & Fuller’s Earth Clay Soap
For a richer cleansing experience, our Bergamot & Sandalwood Clay Soap combines Fuller’s earth clay with activated charcoal.
Cranberry seeds add gentle exfoliation, while bergamot, vetiver and sandalwood create a deeper, earthy fragrance.
This is a good choice if you prefer woody scents and a more intensive-feeling body cleanse.
Natural Clay Soaps Made in the UK
Our collection of clay soaps is made in the UK and focuses on simple, naturally derived ingredients.
Every bar in the range is:
- made with 100% natural ingredients
- vegan
- plastic free
- SLS free
- SLES free
- made in the UK
Choosing a solid soap bar can also be an easy way to reduce some of the plastic bottles commonly associated with liquid shower gels and hand washes.
Clay Soap for Hands and Body
Our clay soaps can be used as both hand soap and body soap.
For body cleansing, wet the bar and work it into a lather between your hands or gently glide it across wet skin.
Some bars contain exfoliating ingredients such as coffee grounds, oatmeal or seeds, so use gentle pressure rather than scrubbing vigorously.
Rinse the skin thoroughly after use and allow the soap to dry between washes.
Using a draining soap dish can help keep the bar dry and extend its life.
