2021 Review - Year of The Bare!

2021 Review - Year of The Bare!

 

 

BARE BAR has only been around for just over 6 months!

That's right! From the birth of an idea in January 2021 to the launch in late May, Bare Bar hasn't even been around a year yet! But a lot has happened in such a short space of time. We'll take you through some of the highlights of 2021, everything from our favourite reviews to our top social media meme & a little insight into what to expect in 2022!

 

1,000's of Plastic Bottles Saved!

You guys, through the use of plastic free Bare Bars have contributed to a reduction in the use of plastics. Let's face it, we really need to curb our use of plastics in the world, even products from companies that claim to be fully recycled packaging are still contributing to the problem, as there is no guarantee that waste will reach a recycling plant again. Using a truly plastic free product is the only way to be sure you're doing the best for the environment, so if you have made the switch with us, we thank you!

 

9 Different Fragrances of Soap Created this Year!

That's right, as 2021 was the year we launched, we had to make sure we had enough variations & choice, to spoil our customers with! Scents from 'Roasted Coffee Bean' Soap to the Limited Edition 'Ice Candy Cane' Soap have all been successful & have been enjoyed by our customers receiving glowing reviews. Seven permanent Soap Bars & Two awesome Limited Editions!

Our Favourite Reviews of 2021 

We keep hearing some very concerning stories of 'the other half' stealing Bare Bars! This is simply not on! Why is nothing sacred any more?

 

Guys! Please stop considering eating your soap, we know it smells absolutely delicious, but it really doesn't taste how it smells! We can offer counselling to anyone who needs to kick this dirty habit!

Very non specific on what super man power, but we can only assume it is the ability to light a fire in the wilderness just by looking at it!

We're glad we transformed your stank James!

Thanks for your honest, if not slightly x-rated review here Steven! 

Get your neighbours to get in touch with us if they have a problem with you singing with a Bare Bar in the shower. We'll send them a couple of bars & get the whole street singing!

 

Our Most Popular Meme

We love a good Meme here at Bare Bar! We always set out to communicate with our customers a little more tongue in cheek than other Male Grooming Companies, so we created some popular posts on Social Media, that hopefully helped lighten the mood a little in your 2021. Plus we are huge Anchorman fans, so naturally it had to be this one:

 

 

Did You Know We Created a Video Ad?

As well as making a few Meme's, many of you would have discovered us by watching our very first video ad! This was an ambitious project, using many favours from our friends & local community radio station Ribble FM. Filming this was hilarious, including the constant dread of someone stumbling upon our set in the middle of the woods while filming a good friend lathering up with Bare Bars!

 

 

 

Most Popular Limited Edition Bar?

We are hugely creative here at Bare Bar & want to constantly offer new & exciting products to our customers, so we created a very special limited edition soap for Halloween called 'Smashin' Pumpkin'. We hold our hands up, the name was 100% inspired by the band Smashing Pumpkins, who are one of our favourite grunge bands here at Bare Bar. The Soap itself was akin to the scent of Spiced Pumpkin Pie, warm, soothing & spicy to enjoy over the cool months. There will be more Limited Edition bars in 2022, we'll aim to make each one more special than the last.

 

What Does 2022 Have in Store for BARE BAR?

We have some extremely ambitious plans for 2022, largely based on what our customers want. We will be releasing our first ever Hair Care products, which will take the for of small, but mighty Shampoo Bars. These will be 60g, which despite their size will outlast 2x 500ml plastic bottles of shampoo & should last you around 2 months per bar. We are looking to have these available for the end of Jan & will come in 4 Scents.

A new permanent Soap Bar will be also available in February, which has been decided by you. It will be inspired by the Ocean, using some amazing natural ingredients, such as Kelp, Sea Salt, Volcanic Pumice, Cedarwood & Spearmint. There will also be another Limited Edition Soap Bar to look forward to, which is also being developed as we speak.

Natural Deo? 2022 could be an interesting year!

 

Thank You, from The BARE BAR Team

We cannot express how grateful we are for the support you our customers have shown us. We have met & interacted with some amazing people of the past 6 months. It is great to see guys beginning to make a more conscious decision on what they put on their skin & of course to help reduce the impact of grooming products on the environment. Every decision we make here at Bare Bar is to improve our customers experience, every bit of feedback we listen to, to create an enjoyable experience from start to finish. We can't wait to see what 2022, brings & we can't wait to experience it with you! All the best, the B.B. Team.

FAQ

What is the best soap for men?

The best soap for men is one that cleans effectively without drying or irritating the skin such as our full range of Bare Bar natural soaps. Our natural soap bars are made with plant oils such as coconut oil, olive oil and cocoa butter to help remove dirt and excess oil while keeping the skin balanced and hydrated. Many men prefer our natural soap bars because we never use harsh detergents and synthetic ingredients commonly found in conventional soaps.

Are natural soap bars better for your skin?

Bare Bar natural soap bars are gentler on the skin because we make them using plant-based oils and natural ingredients. Unlike many commercial soaps that contain synthetic detergents, Bare Bar natural soap retains glycerin, a natural moisturiser that helps keep skin soft and hydrated. This makes Bare Bar natural soap bars a the best option for people with sensitive or dry skin.

What is the difference between bar soap and body wash?

Bar soap and body wash both cleanse the skin true, but they are made completely differently. Our natural soap bars are created through a process called saponification, using oils and lye to produce soap and natural glycerin. Body wash often contains synthetic detergents, preservatives and plastic packaging. Many people choose our soap bars because they are simpler, longer lasting and more environmentally friendly, as well as being excellent for your skin.

Why are soap bars better for the environment?

Bare Bar natural soap bars are environmentally friendly because we only use sustainably sourced plastic-free packaging. Body wash is usually sold in plastic bottles, which rarely get properly recycled. Soap bars also last longer and often require less water during manufacturing.

How long does a soap bar last?

The lifespan of Bare Bar soap bars depends on how often they are used and how they are stored during use. On average, our customers say they get between 3-6 weeks use showering every day, again this can vary by using accessories such as our Soap Deck & Bare Grip, which can both extend the life of your Bare Bars by keeping them dry inbetween use.

Can natural soap bars be used on the face and body?

Bare Bar natural soap bars are gentle enough to be used on both the face and body. Because they are made with nourishing oils and fewer harsh ingredients, they can cleanse effectively without stripping the skin. However, people with very sensitive facial skin may prefer our unscented natural soap bar Raw Oats & Maple. It is unscented and therefore extremely gentle on sensitive skin, made with Oat Milk, it is extremely nourishing for facial skin.

Are soap bars hygienic?

Soap bars are hygienic and safe to use when stored properly. Studies have shown that bacteria does not transfer from soap bars during normal washing. Keeping the soap on a draining soap dish allows it to dry between uses, which helps maintain cleanliness.

Why choose Bare Bar?

Not only are you supporting our small independent business, all of our products are made right here in the U.K and we're proving us Brits can make the best soap on the market!

Our soap bars are handmade with real care, air cured for a full 5 weeks, last longer than most on the market & produce the greatest suds with the best scent options available.
