Why Most Soaps Leave Your Skin Dry (and How to Fix It)

When you wash your hands or shower, you expect your skin to feel clean and refreshed. But if you’ve ever noticed your skin feeling tight or extra dry afterward — you’re not imagining things.

Here’s why: most commercial soaps strip away the very ingredient your skin needs to stay soft — glycerin. Big manufacturers remove it because glycerin is valuable, and they sell it off for use in other skincare products. That’s why you end up reaching for heavy moisturizers after every wash.

At the same time, those bottles and pumps your products come in? They don’t just vanish. The truth is, a single plastic bottle can take up to 450 years to break down in a landfill.

The Better Way

At Linen & Sash, we keep the good stuff in. Our soaps are handcrafted with nourishing oils, rich butters, and natural glycerin intact — so your skin feels hydrated, not stripped. And because our products are made in solid formats (like cold-process soaps, lotion pebbles, and shampoo bars), you can enjoy a luxurious skincare routine without adding plastic waste to the planet.

Ask Yourself…

• Do you want clean skincare that actually works?
• Do you care about protecting your family’s skin?
• Do you want to reduce plastic waste without giving up self-care?

If you said yes to even one of those, then you’ll love what we make.

A Special Offer for You

Right now, when you grab one of our cold-process soap bars, you can get a shampoo bar for 50% off. It’s our way of making it easier (and more fun) to try eco-friendly skincare swaps.

Don’t wait too long though — this offer won’t last forever.
