Glycerin soap
Glycerin is one of the most effective natural humectants in skin care. While many commercial soaps remove it, our handmade glycerin bars keep it right where it belongs: in the soap.
The result is a wash that feels distinctly different. Glycerin draws moisture from the air to the skin, helping to keep it hydrated even after you rinse. This makes glycerin soap a practical daily choice for those who want a gentle cleanse without the richness of shea butter or goat milk.
Our glycerin soap is made in small batches in Goa, ensuring a high-quality, SLS-free bar that suits most skin types.
Who it suits
- Oily skin: provides a thorough clean without adding heavy oils or fats.
- Combination skin: balances cleansing with humectant properties for different skin zones.
- Normal skin: an ideal everyday bar for those who want a light, fresh feel.

The glycerin difference
Most people are surprised to learn that commercial soap is often actually a synthetic detergent bar. During the manufacturing process, the natural glycerin is stripped out and sold as a separate, high-value ingredient.
Healing Soil glycerin soap retains this natural byproduct. Because glycerin is clear, it gives our bars a jewel-like appearance, but its real value is in how it makes your skin feel: clean, hydrated, and soft.
Common questions
What is glycerin soap?
Glycerin soap is made with a base that retains its natural glycerin, a byproduct of the soap-making process. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture to the skin, providing a gentle wash that does not feel heavy or greasy.
Why is glycerin retained in your soap?
Commercial soap manufacturers often remove glycerin to sell it separately for use in lotions and creams. At Healing Soil, we keep the glycerin in the bar, ensuring that every wash provides a moisturising feel that commercial "detergent bars" often lack.
Is glycerin soap good for oily skin?
Yes, glycerin soap is an excellent choice for oily or combination skin. It cleanses effectively without leaving a heavy residue, making it ideal for those who want a fresh, clean feel after washing.
