Hand soap has rapidly found itself becoming the most-used household item these days. It might not seem that luxurious, but the right hand soap can keep you clean and moisturized while delighting the senses – both smell and sight. So why not brighten up those 20 seconds spent lathering with some lavish soap?
These are the best luxury hand soaps to buy, including Scandinavian-design packaging, fresh smells, and moisturizing properties:
L:A Bruket 094 Liquid soap in Sage, rosemary, & lavender
L:A Bruket makes natural and organic skincare off the weather-beaten west coast of Sweden. Born in Varberg, which is known for its history of spa culture, the brand is inspired by the interplay of the elements. A favorite is 094 Liquid soap in sage, rosemary, and lavender, which brings herbal and botanical scents straight to your bathroom or kitchen sink.
Byredo suede hand soap
Stockholm-based Byredo is somewhat of a household name among the trendy Scandi crowd. Mostly known for their perfumes and candles, they also offer great hand soap. Rinse free hand wash is available in four different scents, with Suede being our favorite – it smells how sliding on a soft bathrobe after a bubble bath feels. For those looking to cut down on single-use plastic, all scents are available as bar soaps too.
Frama Apothecary Hand Wash
Frama’s St. Pauls Apothecary Collection is named after the former apothecary that Frama’s beautiful showroom now sits in Copenhagen’s city center. The Apothecary Hand Wash is made in Denmark using natural and organic ingredients like sandalwood, cedarwood, and ylang-ylang. It carries Frama’s signature scent and is bottled in custom colored Italian glass bottles. They’re reusable (Frama offers refills) and oh so pretty in any bathroom.
Sprekenhus hand wash
Sprekenhus is focused on unlocking the full potential of argan oil while taking inspiration from the island community of Vega in Northern Norway, where the interaction between humans and nature has given Vega status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This hand soap, enhanced with 8 essential fatty acids, cares for dry skin while gently cleansing.
Meraki hand soap Silky Mist
Danish brand Meraki is certified organic, meaning their products are good for you and good for the environment. The silky mist hand soap contains aloe vera, cucumber, and apple extracts – all organic, natch – that soothes and cleanses hands. The fact that the bottle is particularly pleasing is a happy bonus.
Skandinavisk Fjord hand wash
Exporters of Scandinavian stories through fragrance to the rest of the world, Skandinavisk is as quintessentially Scandinavian as winter bathing – and their hand soaps are equally refreshing. This gentle foaming hand wash is inspired by the “spectacular rock faces, crashing waterfalls, cascading forests, and abundant orchards of the West Norwegian fjords.” It also contains scent notes of apple and pear blossom, orchard fruits, and redcurrants. Not bad for a soap.
Muro Scents Nordic Musk hand wash
An antiseptic hand wash that’s as much a love letter to the Nordic countries as it is an effective cleanser. With notes of rose, frankincense, musk, and bog myrtle.
Björk & berries Botanist Hand & Body Wash
Björk & Björk & Berries believe in slow beauty and tapping into the natural resources of Swedish forests. Birch, or björk in Swedish, is a signature ingredient across the brand and a symbol of the natural and organic care within each product. The Botanist Hand & Body Wash infuses these forest botanicals with sea buckthorn and organic chamomile.
