Natural Soap for Men:
Triple Milled, Handcrafted & Best Soap for Men

Q: What’s the best natural soap scent for men - cedarwood, sandalwood, or something else?

While cedarwood and sandalwood are classics, Bay Rum remains our signature scent. It blends spice, clove, citrus, and bay leaf for a warm, masculine aroma rooted in West Indian barbershop tradition. Prefer something cleaner? Try Vetiver or West Indian Lime, fresh, refined, and never overpowering.

Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, we've got answers

What are the benefits of using natural soap for men’s skin?

St Johns natural soaps are crafted with skin-loving ingredients like coconut oil, glycerin, and island botanicals. Our triple-milled bars cleanse without stripping moisture, making them ideal for men’s skin, especially post-shave. They gently remove sweat, salt, and city grime while leaving behind a clean, masculine scent inspired by the Caribbean.

What ingredients should I look for in a good natural soap for men?

Look for nourishing oils, real botanicals, and no harsh chemicals. At St Johns, we use coconut oil, glycerin, and fragrant elements like bay leaf, vetiver, and lime zest. These ingredients provide a rich lather, skin comfort, and long-lasting scent, without parabens, sulfates, or artificial additives.

Is natural soap better than regular bar soap?

Yes, especially when it’s made like ours. St John's natural soaps are triple-milled and cold-pressed in small batches using traditional methods. Unlike commercial soaps, they contain no detergents or synthetic fragrances. The result? A deeply cleansing, moisturizing bar that respects your skin’s balance and elevates your shower ritual.

Are natural soaps safe to use on the face and body?

Absolutely. St Johns soaps are gentle enough for full-body use, thanks to non-stripping cleansers and natural ingredients. Whether you’re rinsing off after a beach run or winding down from a long day, our bars offer an all-in-one clean that feels fresh, not tight or dry.

Will natural soap work well for men who sweat a lot or have body odor?

Yes. With bay leaf oil, citrus, and clove, our Bay Rum and West Indian Lime soaps help fight odor naturally while refreshing the skin. The dense, creamy lather lifts away sweat without harsh chemicals, perfect for athletes, frequent flyers, or anyone who needs long-lasting freshness.

What’s the best natural soap scent for men - cedarwood, sandalwood, or something else?

How do I know if a soap is truly natural and not just marketing?
