Benefits of the Bar

We believe that nature, above all else, offers everything we need to thrive. This natural philosophy guides everything we create, and it’s evident in the way we craft our bar soap. Formulated with nourishing ingredients like organic shea butter, olive and coconut oils, our bar soaps deliver the unmistakable benefits of nature that you can feel. Using centuries-old methods, we cure plant oils, butters and botanicals to create a bar soap with a creamy, rich lather that keeps skin soft and smooth. Each of our bars is thoughtfully crafted to address specific needs, whether for different skin types or to fit into your unique routine.

To give you a more personal introduction to our bars, we asked Rocky team members to share their favorites.

Aloe There!

Crafted with dry skin in mind, we infused this bar soap with aloe vera for its gentle and soothing properties, adding extra moisture to our nourishing soap base.

“This was the first bar I ever tried and it remains my absolute favourite. It is so hydrating for my dry skin.”
- Annie

Seaweed and Spearmint

Sea kelp from the Canadian East Coast gently exfoliates while spearmint stimulates and cleanses your skin

“My favourite bar soap right now is Seaweed and Spearmint because it's minty smell and smooth texture are phenomenal for my skin and my nose :) I also like that it has Canadian kelp.”
- Alex

Avocado

Nourishing avocado oil makes this bar even more rich and moisturizing while vitamin E rejuvenates and green clay gently purifies your skin.

“I LOVE the Avocado Bar. My skin is a wee bit ‘mature’ so the hydration and soft dewiness that it leaves my skin with is sublime. I love to eat avocados, cook with avocado oil and I get to put this wonderful superfood on my face as well as my toast, does it get any better?”
- Jane

“I have been using the Avocado bar for years and years and years, buying it in slabs, long before I joined Rocky. I use it on my whole body. It’s seen me through dry skin, combination skin and now, as I get older, aging skin. I Love it.”
- Ingrid

Geranium

Geranium oil is moisturizing and revitalizing and the calendula botanical oils in this bar make it gentle and soothing.

“My favourite bar soap is geranium…the smell is so pretty and I love the softness of the bar. It’s gentle on my face, too.”
- Karina

Juicy Orange

Vitamin C-rich sweet orange oil works wonders for your skin and your senses while orange juice naturally exfoliates with gentle fruit acids.

“My favorite is Juicy Orange. I’ve tried so many different types but my number one soap has never changed in the last five years. I have combination skin and it works the best. It’s refreshing and cleanses excess oil and dirt in my pores while still moisturizing my dry parts. I Absolutely love it!”
- Mihoko

“I like to swim a lot, and I always have a slice of the Juicy Orange on hand. I use it first in my shower afterwards because the citric acid cuts the chlorine smell so that when I do shampoo and wash after, I can barely smell any ‘pool’. Great for a mid-work day swim or when I know I have to go places after work and want to smell good.”
- Ericka

Fennel and Charcoal

Activated charcoal deeply cleanses while cedarwood oil grounds and tends to blemish-prone skin. Infused fennel oil helps to clarify the look of skin.

“I can’t live without Fennel and Charcoal for my face....The formula never dries out my skin.”
- Carina

Minty Tea Tree

Tea tree oil has clarifying properties and works great with blemish-prone skin. Jojoba oil esters closely resemble the skin’s natural oils and add mild exfoliation to the bar.

“Minty Tea Tree Bar Soap is my absolute favorite because it smells crisp with that little bit of eucalyptus and feels so good with a scrub-like texture from the jojoba. I use it on my face and body. My skin type is ‘normal’ but sometimes dry in the winter; the soap (even with the tea tree in it) doesn't dry it out. The rest of my body is more fair and somewhat sensitive, but after a shave it is such a good exfoliator.

- Erin

“My favorite bar is Minty Tea Tree. It's a staple beside my sink to get a deep, fresh and clean feeling. The nodules of jojoba exfoliate my hands and that feels great! My hands are very dry, and I find this bar cleans without being too drying. I love the fresh scent, too.”
- Jennifer

Pumpkin

Our Pumpkin soap is a true favourite for those with dry skin due to the powerful enzymes, antioxidants and vitamin C found in pumpkin extract. Pair that with gently exfoliating wheat germ for a transformative but gentle bar.

“My absolute go-to soap is Pumpkin. Not being native to Calgary, I find it’s the only thing that helps keep my skin moisturized and comfortable. Without it my skin feels tight and sore. It also helps soothe and get rid of any patches of dry skin. I never pass up the chance to rave about Pumpkin soap when customers are in store!”
- Roseanne


Goat’s Milk and Lavender

Local Goat’s Milk is packed with vitamins and nutrients for your skin but is incredibly gentle. This bar pairs it beautifully with calming lavender.

“It’s the bar that got me hooked on Rocky in 2005 when I worked at a hotel where we sold it in the lobby. It helps my dry skin but is universal enough to use all over and I love the lavender scent.”
- Frangipane


Raspberry Rooibos

Rooibos tea leaves gently exfoliate while pink clay clarifies your skin.

“I've been using the Raspberry Rooibos for a couple years now and I love it. I actually use it for my face in the mornings and it works well for my skin.”

- Steph

Shampoo Bar

Our Shampoo Bar uses stimulating rosemary leaf oil, as well as moisturizing castor oil.

“My absolute favourite is the Shampoo Bar. Before finding it, my scalp would be unbearable in the winter. My hair is now growing and healthy.

- Vanessa
