Why We Prefer Liquid Soap Over Bar Soap (and Why You Might Too)

At Cornerstone Deluxe, we love all things clean, but not all soap is created equal. While bar soaps have been around for centuries, we believe liquid soap is the modern choice for healthier, cleaner, and more enjoyable hygiene. Here’s why our pump bottles win out over the slippery blocks of the past.

1. More Hygienic

Bar soaps tend to collect bacteria, dead skin cells, and even mold when they sit in a wet soap dish. Liquid soap stays sealed in its pump, meaning every drop is fresh and untouched until you use it.

2. Easier to Share

Passing a bar of soap between people? Not so great for hygiene. With liquid soap, each pump is clean and safe to use in shared spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and offices.

3. Customizable Formulations

Liquid soaps allow us to create specialized blends for every need — from our gentle baby wash to our heavy-duty hand cleaners, pet shampoos, and intimate cleansers — all with skin-loving botanicals and essential oils.

4. pH Balanced for Your Skin

Many bar soaps are naturally alkaline, which can strip away your skin’s protective oils. Our liquid soaps are carefully pH balanced to keep your skin healthy, comfortable, and glowing.

5. Gentle on Sensitive Skin

We skip harsh sulfates and parabens, choosing instead hydrating and soothing ingredients. Whether you have eczema, rosacea, or just easily irritated skin, liquid formulas are easier to tailor to your needs.

6. Less Mess

No more soggy soap dishes or bars that break in half. Liquid soap is neat, contained, and leaves your sink area spotless.

7. Works Better in All Water Types

Liquid soaps lather beautifully — even in hard water — making for a smoother, more luxurious wash.

8. Versatile Beyond Hands

Bars are mostly for hands and bodies, but liquid soaps adapt easily to become body washes, shampoos, beard washes, and pet care products.

9. Consistent Texture & Experience

Liquid soaps feel the same from the first pump to the last — no slimy middle or gritty bits like you sometimes get with bars.

10. Kid-Approved

Children are far more likely to wash properly when they can pump their own soap. The fun, easy motion keeps them engaged and builds healthy habits early.

Why It Matters for Cornerstone Deluxe

Choosing liquid over bar soap isn’t just about convenience, it’s about cleaner skin, healthier habits, and better hygiene for everyone in your home. Every pump of Cornerstone Deluxe soap delivers a burst of plant-based goodness, designed to care for your skin while giving you that fresh, clean feeling. From our foaming hand soaps to our luxurious shower gels, each one is crafted with your well-being in mind.

Bottom line: Bar soaps had their time, but liquid soaps are here to stay, and we’re raising the bar on clean. Once you try our blends, you’ll understand why.
