Bliss Bar Face & Body Cleanser
Ethique is the leader in plastic-free, concentrated personal care. The Bliss Bar is a cream-based, soap-free cleanser made with 100% pure coconut cream and vegetable glycerine, making it incredibly luxurious and non-drying.
Quality & Materials
100% soap-free. Uses Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (a very gentle surfactant) and Kaolin clay to remove impurities without stripping.
Evidence & Testing
B-Corp status ensures high social and environmental performance. Ingredients are tested for safety but lack the large-scale clinical trials of medical brands like CeraVe.
Brand Transparency
Value Assessment
High upfront cost ($13-15), but one bar is equivalent to 2-3 bottles of liquid wash, making the long-term value acceptable for premium ingredients.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'eco-friendly' bar soaps are just basic lye soaps that can be harsh. Ethique uses sophisticated surfactants derived from coconut that are much gentler on the face and body while being entirely compostable.
