Reviewed, the product-testing site in the USA TODAY network, named MARLOWE. soap bars Best Body Soap in Reviewed’s picks for the best beauty and skincare products of 2026 by Jennifer Ernst Beaudry, published September 15, 2026.
What Reviewed said
The testers said the bars feel good in the shower, singled out the gentle but effective exfoliation of the scrub bar, and found their skin soft and clean afterward. They liked that the scents were light and masculine rather than overwhelming, and they credited the standards behind the scrub bars: paraben- and phthalate-free, never tested on animals, vegan, and certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. Whether you want a moisturizing soap, a polishing bar or a charcoal bar, they wrote, these are the soaps they keep reaching for.
Why the bars work
A body wash rinses. A scrub bar actually does something: pumice and apricot seed powder buff away dryness and rough skin, the triple-milled 7 oz scrub bar lathers richly and is built to last, and the wrapper is made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material. The moisturizing bar is the gentler option for daily use; the charcoal bar purifies, lifting oil and dirt. Each scent is a signature blend, so you pick one and everything in that line matches.
