Moisturising the modern man
British men deserve grooming products that work as hard as they do. Traditional soaps strip away your skin's natural oils, leaving you feeling tight, dry, and irritated.
Our moisturising soap range addresses these challenges head-on, delivering superior cleansing power whilst maintaining your skin's essential moisture barrier.
Each bar combines centuries-old soap-making traditions with modern understanding of men's skincare needs
The Hidden Cost of Harsh Commercial Soaps
Most commercial soaps and shower gels contain synthetic detergents, sulfates, and harsh chemicals that strip away your skin's protective oils. This leaves men dealing with:
- Tight, uncomfortable skin after every shower
- Increased irritation from shaving on compromised skin
- Premature ageing due to moisture loss
- Frequent skin problems including redness and inflammation
The Moisturising Soap Advantage
Natural moisturising soap works differently.
Instead of stripping your skin, our handcrafted bars cleanse whilst delivering essential nutrients and hydration. The retained glycerin acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the air to your skin.
This means you step out of the shower feeling clean, comfortable, and properly hydrated.
Research consistently shows that natural soap bars with moisturising properties help maintain the skin's hydrolipidic film – the protective barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out.
Handmade in the UK with 100% Natural Ingredients
Every Hiltwood moisturising soap bar represents the pinnacle of British artisanal craftsmanship. Our small-batch production ensures exceptional quality control, with each bar containing carefully selected natural ingredients:
Core Moisturising Ingredients:
- Olive Oil: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, supports your skin's natural barrier function
- Coconut Oil: Provides deep cleansing whilst conditioning the skin
- Shea Butter: Delivers intense moisture and has natural anti-inflammatory properties
- Castor Oil: Enhances lather quality whilst providing additional hydration
- Natural Glycerin: Retained from the soap-making process to maximise moisture retention
The Science Behind Superior Moisturisation
Unlike commercial manufacturers who remove glycerin for profit, Hiltwood's traditional cold-process method preserves this valuable moisturising compound.
Glycerin acts as both a humectant and emollient, making your skin not only moist but genuinely soft to the touch.
This approach aligns with dermatological research showing that natural soap bars with retained glycerin provide superior moisturising benefits compared to synthetic alternatives.

Moisturising Soap FAQs
What makes Hiltwood's moisturising soap different from regular soap?
Our moisturising soap retains natural glycerin and uses premium plant-based oils that hydrate whilst cleansing. Regular commercial soaps remove glycerin and contain harsh detergents that strip your skin's natural moisture.
Is moisturising soap suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Our natural formulations avoid synthetic fragrances, parabens, and sulfates that commonly trigger sensitive skin reactions. The gentle, pH-balanced ingredients soothe rather than irritate.
Can I use moisturising soap on my face?
Yes, our gentle formulations are suitable for both face and body use. The natural ingredients cleanse without over-drying, making them ideal for facial cleansing, especially before shaving.
Why choose bar soap over liquid body wash?
Bar soap offers superior concentration of beneficial ingredients, eliminates plastic packaging, lasts longer, and provides better value for money. Natural bar soap also travels easily without liquid restrictions.
Are your soaps really palm oil-free?
Absolutely. We use sustainable alternatives like olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter that provide superior moisturising properties whilst supporting environmental conservation.
Do your soaps contain artificial fragrances?
No. All scents come from pure essential oils that provide natural aromatherapy benefits whilst avoiding the synthetic chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin.
