There’s a common belief that bar soap leaves skin dry, tight, or stripped. It’s why so many people reach for liquid body washes instead. But the truth is, not all soaps are created equal. The way a soap is made — and what goes into it — determines whether it dries you out or nourishes your skin.
At Tula Louise, we make soaps designed to hydrate as they cleanse, using time, natural oils, and butters rather than shortcuts. Here’s how.
Why Commercial Soaps Feel Drying
Many mass-produced soaps and body washes are formulated with detergents that strip away natural oils. Some even remove glycerin — a naturally occurring humectant that attracts water to the skin — only to sell it back later in moisturizers and creams. It’s efficient for them, but not for your skin.
What Makes Tula Louise Different
Our bars are made using the traditional cold process method, which preserves glycerin and locks in the natural benefits of our ingredients. Every bar cures slowly over weeks, hardening into a soap that’s both gentle and long-lasting.
The Ingredients That Make the Difference
-
Avocado Oil — rich in vitamins A, D, and E, soothing and replenishing dry skin.
-
Olive Oil — a natural emollient that softens and helps retain moisture.
-
Castor Oil — draws hydration into the skin, leaving it smooth.
-
Shea Butter & Cocoa Butter — deeply conditioning, creating a creamy, protective lather.
Together, these create a luxurious lather that cleanses without stripping your skin.
The Result: Soft, Healthy Skin
Instead of leaving you dry, each wash with a Tula Louise bar leaves your skin nourished, balanced, and comfortable. It’s proof that bar soap, when made with care and the right ingredients, can be both functional and indulgent.
