Why we carry Folk Soap
We looked at a lot of soap brands before choosing Folk Soap for Nalu. What set them apart was the combination of genuinely clean formulas, responsible sourcing, and a product that performs as well as it looks. Every bar is SLS free soap, free from parabens, synthetic preservatives, and artificial colours. There are no chemical shortcuts and no synthetic foaming agents. This is organic natural soap made from real ingredients: coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, rice bran oil, and essential oils. For anyone looking for eco friendly soap, chemical free soap, or soap for sensitive skin, Folk Soap delivers without compromise. Several bars in the range are certified vegan, making Folk Soap one of the strongest vegan soap brands we've come across, and every product is cruelty free.
Every bar keeps its glycerine
Mass-produced soap strips out naturally occurring glycerine and sells it separately. Folk Soap keeps it in, which is why the lather feels richer and the skin feels moisturised rather than tight after washing. A genuine body soap bar that cares for your skin.
Plastic free from bar to wrapper
Every bar is wrapped in biodegradable, plastic-free packaging. No bottles, no pumps, no plastic waste. An eco friendly soap that lasts longer than liquid alternatives and leaves nothing behind but clean skin.
Gentle enough for sensitive skin
With unscented options, oat-based formulas, and goats milk bars, Folk Soap offers genuinely hypoallergenic soap for people whose skin reacts to everything else. No SLS, no synthetic fragrance, no unnecessary ingredients.
