Why is Vitamin E in almost all of my products?
User Question: Why is Vitamin E in all of my Bark Soap Co. products? Our Answer: We put Vitamin E in a lot of products because not only is it great for your skin, with tons of antioxidants, but it helps to keep the oils in many products shelf-stable. You may also see it listed as "Mixed Tocopherols," which is a fancy way of saying Vitamin E from more than one source. So just think of Vitamin as an added bonus on top of all the other wonderful ingredients that make up a Bark Soap product!

Coconut oil, olive oil, and different types of butters replace the harsher chemicals that are often crammed into commercial "soaps." It's pretty much all you need for everyday use. It's actual SOAP.Many, if not most, "soaps" currently on the market are not true soaps at all. They are detergents which, while effective at cleaning, can often lead to other skin problems if you have sensitive skin. A true soap is made of oils/butters and lye (or some sort of alkali). That's pretty much...
Bark bakery spotlight: Body yogurts
Being a born and bred Houstonian, I know all about heat and humidity. If there is one thing Houstonians can attest to, it is that Southern Gulf weather is at once a blessing and a curse. When the weather is nice, it is VERY nice. But then there are the other 360 days of the year. Despite water-logged air that keeps my hair frizzy and my upper lip wet, I still end up with dry skin. Arms, elbows, knees and heels will always start to peel no matter what. I always hated applying lotion in hot weather. The same buttery, moisturizing goodness...
