10 Pain Points People Have About Commercial Soap

Updated: Jul 30



Most of us grew up using commercial soaps. Many continue to use them because they don't know there are alternatives, like all-natural soap. We do lots of things just because we don't know any better! We may continue to lather with commercial soap, but that doesn't mean we don't have concerns or issues with commercial soap products.

Future blog posts will attempt to address some people's pain points with their commercial soap, but first, we need to know what they are. Here's a list of 10 things people often struggle with about their commercial soap.


  1. Skin Dryness: Many commercial soaps contain harsh chemicals that strip the skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

  2. Chemical Ingredients: Ingredients like parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances can cause allergic reactions or long-term health concerns.

  3. Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of commercial soap often involve non-biodegradable packaging and harmful chemicals that can damage the environment.

  4. Artificial Fragrances: Synthetic fragrances in soaps can cause skin irritation and allergies for some individuals.

  5. Animal Testing: Many commercial soap brands still test their products on animals, which is a significant ethical concern for many consumers.

  6. Lack of Transparency: Consumers often struggle to understand the ingredients listed on soap packaging, leading to distrust and confusion about what they put on their skin.

  7. Antibacterial Concerns: Some commercial soaps contain antibacterial agents like triclosan, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance and negatively impact the skin microbiome.

  8. Price vs. Quality: There is often a perceived disparity between the cost of commercial soaps and their quality, with some people feeling they are not getting good value for their money.

  9. Scent Longevity: The scent of many commercial soaps doesn’t last long on the skin, which can be disappointing for users who enjoy a long-lasting fragrance.

  10. Effectiveness: Some commercial soaps are perceived as less effective in cleansing or addressing specific skin concerns, such as acne or sensitivity, compared to specialized or natural alternatives.


The good news is that switching to all-natural soap resolves all these concerns. Soaps like Cleanbar are made with natural oils, not harsh chemicals. Coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter moisturize the skin, eliminating dryness. Natural soaps are scented with essential oils, which results in an aromatic bar with bonus wellness benefits. They are environmentally friendly, don't test their product on animals, and are effective cleansers. If you are ready to explore natural soaps as an alternative to your commercial bar, consider Cleanbar soap.
