Levels of Scrub

A Guide to Choosing the Right Exfoliating Soap Bar

Not all soap bars are created equal. Some are all about moisture, some offer a little extra polish, and others bring serious scrub power. So, how much exfoliation does your skin actually need?

At MARLOWE., we believe a good shower starts with the right bar. Whether you're looking for a moisturizing everyday wash, gentle exfoliation, or a deep-cleansing scrub, there's a level for that.

Meet the three levels of scrub. Find your ideal balance of cleansing, exfoliation, and moisture, and make every shower count.

What to look for in an exfoliating soap bar

Not every skin type needs the same amount of scrub. If you're looking for an everyday moisturizing cleanse, a non-exfoliating bar may be the way to go. Prefer a little extra polish? A lightly exfoliating soap bar offers a gentler approach. For rough-feeling skin and a more noticeable scrub, reach for a bar with more texture.

Ingredients That Work Hard: Look for ingredients that do more than one job. Physical exfoliants like pumice and apricot seed powder help buff away surface buildup and rough-feeling skin, while moisturizing ingredients help keep skin feeling comfortable after cleansing.

A Rich, Satisfying Lather: Exfoliation shouldn't mean sacrificing a good shower. A quality body soap bar should create a satisfying lather that cleanses skin while delivering the level of scrub you're looking for.

A Bar That Goes the Distance: A good soap bar should be something you look forward to using. Look for a well-made, long-lasting bar that delivers a consistent cleanse and exfoliating experience shower after shower.

Ingredients that do more

The best exfoliating soap bars don't just rely on texture. It's what goes into the formula that makes the difference. MARLOWE. combines hardworking exfoliating ingredients with skin-conditioning ingredients to help cleanse, smooth, and refresh.

Pumice: A naturally occurring mineral that provides physical exfoliation, helping buff away surface buildup and improve the feel of rough skin.

Apricot Seed Powder: A naturally derived physical exfoliant that helps polish skin and smooth rough-feeling areas. It's what gives our Scrub Soap Bar its seriously satisfying grit.

Shea Butter: A skin-conditioning ingredient that helps moisturize and soften skin, balancing out the cleansing and exfoliating experience.

Brown Seaweed Extract: Rich in hydrating properties, brown seaweed extract helps support skin moisture and leaves skin feeling refreshed.

Willow Bark Extract: An ingredient that helps support the exfoliating experience while complementing the physical scrub of our soap bars.

Good ingredients. Great texture. No complicated shower routine required.
