10 Best Soaps For Men (Review) in 2021

If you love your products to be all natural and organic and if you also, unfortunately, suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, acne or even psoriasis, then our next best soap for men is deserving of your attention. It’s from Aspen Kay and is made from 100% dead sea mineral mud collected from Israel. In case you aren’t already familiar with the phenomenon of dead sea mud, it’s proven to draw out impurities and toxins from the skin leaving your complexion feeling refreshed and squeaky clean. People from all over the globe flock to the Dead Sea or rub this nutrient-dense mud all over their bodies because of its fabulous properties. Luckily you don’t need to travel quite so far to enjoy the same benefits thanks to the power of this Dead Sea soap bar. It’s 100% organic and alongside that wonder mud, also contains unrefined shea butter, extra virgin olive oil as well as sunflower, palm and castor oil. It’s also infused with the highly invigorating scent of lemongrass, peppermint, and eucalyptus. While plenty of soaps, unfortunately, contain irritants, this dead sea bar is actually good for a whole host of skin conditions and can be applied all over the body for excellent results. If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis, for example, rub some of the soap on the affected areas for relief. It’s also handmade and incredibly moisturizing too so really is one of the best soaps for men you could hope to find.

The brand was started in 1965 in California when the owner, Baxter Finely, recognized there was a huge gap in the market for good quality men’s grooming products and took it upon himself to remedy that. Since that time the brand has gained iconic status and makes a wide range of grooming products for today’s discerning and impeccable man, not just those based in Southern California. This exfoliating style soap bar is just one of them, and we think it’s genuinely one of the best soaps for men around and definitely worthy of being in your grooming kit. It’s good for your body and your face and with that exfoliating texture helps remove surface skin cells for softer and more hydrated skin. It’s made up of a formula that contains pumice alongside jojoba and crushed olive seeds so while it scrubs away dirt and debris it does so in a gentle way that won’t strip your skin of any essential moisture. It lathers up really well and is excellent for all skin types, even more, sensitive to use plus it has a fresh and revitalizing scent which isn’t at all overpowering and which is subtly masculine with just a hint of oakmoss and cedar wood. All that and no nasties included either. You won’t find any parabens in this best soap bar. Available in a 7 oz bar this soap/exfoliator should last you a good amount of time too. 

Interesting packaging from our next best men’s soap in today’s grooming review. Dr.Squatch started out with the aim to deliver a block of soap that was highly effective in cleaning away daily dirt, grime and sweat but in a gentle way without the use of harsh chemicals. In this sampler pack, you get to try out all the favorite scents each of which are delicately formulated to be suitable for even the most sensitive of skins. We particularly love the Cedar Citrus blend which has a potent mix of cedarwood, zesty orange oil, alongside just a hint of peppermint. We think it could be one of the best smelling bars of soaps currently available for men.  All the Dr.Squatch products use natural ingredients so you won’t find any chemicals, preservative or sulfates. They’re handmade and then cold-pressed in small batches and tend to have much higher glycerin content and a softer and more nourishing texture than most mass market soap bars. They lather up to create just the perfect suds. In fact, the company is so proud of their product that they offer a “sudsifaction” guarantee! A great smelling range of soaps which are superbly hydrating.

Cetaphil is all about dermatological innovation and are at the forefront of finding solutions to skincare needs. As company overall and being part of the Galderma Foundation, they certainly put a lot of money into research and development with their quest being to deliver products that effectively clean and hydrate but without causing any skin sensitivities. So it should come as no surprise that our next best soap product, Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar really does work! It is not only great for male skin, but it gently and effectively removes dirt and grime from everyday pollutants, sweat, and excess surface oil as well as bacteria. All of that without disrupting the skins delicate moisture barrier. It may have specifically been designed for those of you with Dry skin and more sensitive skin types, but it will equally work just as well on all male skin.  If you happen to work or live in a dirtier and more polluted environment and are prone to clogged pores, then this is an excellent soap for you. It’s naturally unscented too and will leave your skin feeling gently refreshed and soft to the touch. You can combine this with one of the body lotions from our list.

A grooming line that has been specially created to cater to the demanding needs of male skin, Dove Men+Care has a whole range of products of which this body and face clean comfort bar is just one. The brand has been around since the 1950’s so they certainly know a thing or two about creating soaps and body washes, and today you will find the brand in no less than 80 countries globally. Known for their ¼ moisturizing marketing slogan, this Clean Comfort Bar is no exception and hydrates every bit as well as it cleanses. Many soaps can have a drying effect on the skin as they tighten the pores but not with this Dove soap bar. It’s been fully dermatologically tested and recommended for men’s unique skin. In case you weren’t already aware, mend do have thicker and generally oilier skin than women so having your own hard working grooming range makes sense right?

This is a big old block of soap from Duke Cannon, and they market it as soap for real men. It’s almost three times larger than most of the other soaps we’ve reviewed today at 10 oz. Great for both the face and the body, it’s brilliant to take into the shower with you.
