Lather in Luxury: Bayard Candle Company’s Handcrafted Body Soaps

There’s something magical about a perfectly crafted bar of soap. The moment your fingers wrap around it, the soft scent drifts up, the lather begins to build, and suddenly your everyday shower feels like a moment of peace—something indulgent. At Bayard Candle Company, we believe that your daily rituals should feel like little luxuries, and our handcrafted body soaps are designed to make that happen.

Each bar is a blend of artisanal craftsmanship and nourishing ingredients, thoughtfully created not only to cleanse, but to pamper. Our soaps aren’t just functional—they’re an experience.

A Scent for Every Mood

Fragrance has the power to shift your mindset, uplift your spirits, and ground your soul. That’s why our body soap collection includes an irresistible range of scents, carefully curated to complement your every mood:

  • Lavender – A classic for a reason. This soothing floral blend helps calm the mind, ease stress, and promote a peaceful start—or end—to your day.

  • Lemongrass – Bright and citrusy with a touch of herbal depth, this energizing scent is the perfect pick-me-up when you need a mental reset.

  • Cold Brewed Coffee – Earthy, rich, and warm, this bar is perfect for coffee lovers who want to savor their favorite aroma long after the mug is empty.

  • Oatmeal, Milk & Honey – Comfort in a bar. Soft, creamy, and subtly sweet, this blend gently soothes and softens even the most sensitive skin.

And that’s just the beginning. Our ever-evolving scent lineup ensures there’s always something new to discover—and fall in love with.

Skincare That Feels Like Self-Care

We don’t believe in compromising when it comes to your skin. Each bar is made with a thoughtfully balanced blend of olive oil, coconut oil, lard, castor oil, and kaolin clay—each chosen for its unique skin-loving benefits:

  • Olive Oil: Deeply moisturizing and packed with vitamins, it helps maintain skin elasticity and softness.

  • Coconut Oil: Gently cleanses without stripping, while producing a rich, creamy lather.

  • Lard: A traditional, skin-conditioning fat that gives our bars their long-lasting firmness and luxurious texture.

  • Castor Oil: Adds silkiness and that irresistible bubbly lather that feels oh-so-good.

  • Kaolin Clay: Draws out impurities while adding a smooth, powdery finish and gentle exfoliation.

Together, these ingredients create a bar that’s gentle enough for daily use, yet rich enough to feel like a spa day in your own bathroom.

Beauty in Every Bar

Each soap is a visual delight, with hand-poured swirls and artistic color palettes that make them as beautiful as they are beneficial. Whether nestled on a soap dish or wrapped up as a gift, these bars are made to be seen and appreciated—not just used.

From the moment you unwrap them, they elevate your space and your routine. Display them in your guest bath, pack them in a travel bag, or keep them by the kitchen sink—they’re the kind of everyday essential that never feels ordinary.

Artisan Soap Is Pretty Popular

While precise figures on the annual number of artisan soap bars sold globally are scarce, available market data provides some insights. In 2023, the global handmade soap market was valued at approximately $158.79 million and is projected to reach $224.45 million by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.94% 

Assuming an average retail price of $7 per artisan soap bar, this valuation suggests that around 31.8 million bars were sold in 2023. With the projected market growth, annual sales could approach 45 million bars by 2031.

It's important to note that artisan soaps represent a niche segment within the broader bar soap market, which was valued at $30.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $46.5 billion by 2030. Therefore, while artisan soaps constitute a smaller portion of the market, their popularity is on the rise, driven by consumer preferences for natural and eco-friendly products.
