Anyone have any recommendations for soaps that are vegan-friendly? I’ve been using Dr. Jon’s for years but with their recent closure I’m having to look for some new ones for when I’m out.
I’ve used LA Shaving Soaps before but found I had a hard time getting a good lather out of them no matter what I did.
Appreciate any recs folks have!
Southern Witchcraft soaps are all vegan, and very good. I believe that some soaps by Zingari Man and Wholly Jaw are vegan, too. New Tabac soap is vegan as well.
Nice, thanks! I’d come across Southern Witchcraft years ago but never tried their soaps back then, will have to check these out.
They are very good performers, but a word of warning: the scents can be polarizing. I started with Autumn Ash - which I really like now, but the first contact was a bit rough: smoke + sweetness was not something I was used to in a cosmetics product.
Maybe start with a few samples!
