Handmade Soaps

Rinse Bath & Body Co. has been handcrafting natural bar soap in Monroe, Georgia since 2003 — and with over 40 scents to choose from, there is a bar here for everyone. Each soap is cold-process crafted in small batches using 93-100% naturally derived ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter. The result is a glycerin-rich bar that lathers beautifully and actually moisturizes your skin instead of stripping it. From essential oil classics like Lavender and Peppermint to fan-favorite fragrances like Flannel and Almond Honey, our handmade soaps are the product that started it all — and they remain our most gifted and repurchased item. Paraben-free, phthalate-free, and gluten-free. No detergents, no synthetic dyes, no shortcuts.

Commercial bar soap is technically a detergent, not a soap. The saponification process that creates real soap also creates glycerin — a naturally moisturizing byproduct that commercial manufacturers extract and sell separately. What's left is a harsh cleansing bar that strips the skin barrier and leaves that tight, dry feeling most people associate with bar soap in general. Cold-process handmade soap keeps the glycerin intact. That's the single biggest reason it feels different on your skin.

Every bar in our handmade soap collection is cold-processed — no heat applied, which preserves the beneficial properties of each oil and allows the natural glycerin to remain in the finished bar. The base is the same across all scents: coconut oil for lather, olive oil for conditioning, shea butter for moisture, sustainable palm oil for a hard bar that lasts. The scents — more than forty of them — come from fragrance oils, pure essential oils, and in some cases, actual ingredients. Beer Soaps are made with real craft beer. Wine Soaps with real wine. Dead Sea Mud Soap with genuine Dead Sea mineral mud.

Customers who switch from commercial soap and try a Rinse bar for the first time describe it the way people describe the first good cup of coffee after years of instant: a before-and-after distinction. The lather is different, the rinse is different, and the way skin feels afterward is different. Bar longevity surprises people too — a 4-ounce bar kept on a draining soap dish lasts three to four weeks with daily use.
