Best Kitchen Soaps

Kirks Gentle Castile Bar Soap

Get Rid of Garlic, Onion or Fish Odor with this Revolutionary New Kitchen Soap: When you have a bad case of garlic, onion or fish odor on your hand’s standard kitchen soap hasn’t been up to the challenge. But now there’s a better way to rub out kitchen odors than traditional hacks such as stainless steel, or lemon, or toothpaste, or tomato juice.

Kirk’s, one of the largest natural soap brands in America, has just introduced a new Odor Neutralizing Hand Wash that uses a unique, natural vegetable fermentation technology (similar to some natural deodorants) to completely eradicate – not just mask – bad smells from your hands after cooking.

Best Soaps for Washing a Modern Car

Vehicle Wash from Jay Leno’s Garage

Would you buy soap from a former talk show host? Yes, if the soap is for cars and the host in question is Jay Leno! He owns over 180 cars and 160 motorcycles, painstakingly restored and cared for in his Big Dog Garage in Southern California. Leno certainly has the credibility to hawk car cleaning products and wouldn’t put his name on a sub-par shampoo. Whether you have a Lamborghini Countach (his) or a Blastolene Special (again his) or a more modest sedan (mine), he’s got the right stuff!

Best Soap for Women

Nim-Véda Australia Neem Soap

Neem is known for many things, including its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiseptic, and blood purifying properties.

Unfortunately, though, herbs like Ginseng and Echinacea are more widely recognized worldwide. Research has proven that Neem has a broader array of uses than any other herb. Used in health and beauty throughout the ages, the first recorded indication of its use was 4500 years old!

Calm Facial Bar

Bar soap has changed a lot in the past decade, but there is still a long way to go. Many of the big brands have ingredients in them that dry your skin out, or you’re stuck with hotel bar soaps if you’re a girl on the go that leaves you feeling less than stellar. If you’re looking for a bar of soap that will nourish your skin instead of dry it out, consider Ayr Skin Care’s Calm Facial Bar.
