These natural soaps are mild, moisturizing, and have been created with a blend of essential oils and other toxin free natural ingredients. So if you are looking for the best organic handmade soaps in India, your search has just ended! Here is my list of must – have natural soaps available in India. The brands have been listed in a random order.
- SkinSense Natural Luxury
This is a brand I discovered late last year. I have used their body butter, a cleansing mask and these soaps. Rashmi, the founder of the brand takes out time to respond to your queries and lets you know which of the products can suit you. I ordered for the Narangi Madhu and the Agaraya Mritikayi. Narangi Madhu has a faint citrusy fragrance that makes it actually a more summer kind of a soap. Agaraya Mritikayi is a more suitable for those with an oily skin. Packed with healing glycerin, these soaps lather up really well and keep your skin soft and nourished. The best way to use these soaps is to wet the soap and rub to work up a lather and apply the lather to cleanse your skin gently.
Priced from INR 350 and upwards, their bath soaps are ideal for men and women.
Where to buy: On their website.
- Cape of Good Soap
Cape of Good Soap, as the name suggests is your one-stop shop for an array of soaps that you’ll love to have and use. Their claim – “Our soaps are enriched with products that are organic & so pure that they can be used safely on your skin every single time you use it. They just don’t do the job of cleansing but also work as a healthy potion while providing a nourishing treat. Notice a visible difference in your skin with everyday use.”
Each soap bar is carefully handcrafted with ingredients ranging from natural farm produce to herbs handpicked from across the world. Their exotic range of soaps packed in a tin is going to be a treat for your skin. I am currently using the Breakfast For Skin soap that helps me kick-start my day with the freshness I need. Packed with the goodness of honey and oats, this one exfoliates the skin very gently and keeps hydrated for at least 8 hours. If you have dry skin, you may need to follow up with the moisturiser or pure almond oil.

If I were ever running out of coffee, one sniff of this would be good enough for me to kick-start my day!

Because they are good for your skin, and choosing chemical-free products can be the best investment you can have for your skin. Most of the soaps are suitable for men and women.

“Real soaps are not manufactured, they are crafted.”, was the first thing that caught my eye when I was browsing their website. First things first, I know this is a post on natural handmade soaps, but I have to slip in a line about the utterly fabulous shikakai and multani shampoo bar. It is pure love for your tresses! Now, back to their soaps.
Sheetal, the founder of Earthy Sapo has a range of soaps for every skin type and for everyone! Babies, kids, sensitive skin, normal, oily; you name it and she has it. All the soaps have a shelf life of a year, but since there are no preservatives added, it would be nice if you use them right away instead of stashing them.

All the products are 100% biodegradable and eco friendly and the owner of the brand Nikita mentions that the reason she worked on the entire range of these products was to reduce the demand for non-green products and services.

As someone who believes in eco-living, I work towards acquainting people with products that are good for them and their skin. I do hope that it reaches to more people and helps them choose better options.

I have tried many organic soaps and shampoos, of which Mountain Herbs is my favourite,l have been using this for the past one year, Truly they are very low in fragrance but the fragrance is long lasting, and are very gentle on skin. My children are also using them. My daughter who has a very sensitive skin type, I found this very much suitable for her skin type
Thank you for stopping by Dr. Sara. Yes, I use it for my boys too who will soon be 9. 🙂
Dear Pratibha
You have done a wonderful job in researching the organic products and telling the goodness to others.
I am using Mountain Herbs since 2014 for my family. Its so refreshing and safe on skins.
My both children have sensitive skins. I started using the soap for my daughter from 3 years old. Before I used soap free lotion for bath because of her dry skin until I found the mountain herbs soap. For my second child I started using the soap from two months of age.
I honestly recommend Mountain herbs soap for anyone who are really looking for organic products for their skin. Perfect for the whole family with different skin types.

I have regularly been using Mountain Herbs for last 5 years. I just can not imagine using another soap. Am so glad that this soap is becoming an established brand . They have range of handmade organic products, hand wash to detergents. All safe for the body, clothes and environment.
I know!There is so much on my wish list from Mountain Herbs! I hope to write a post on just their products!
That’s huuuge list of handmade soaps. I don’t use harsh soaps now even for bathing, I look for natural and organic ones which don’t affect my skin.
That is a good choice to make 🙂
