If you like Ben’s soaps, check out the yearly bundle – a bar and a sample every month for the next 12 months. Bought individually, these 12 bars would cost $180 (with shipping), but you can get them for $115.

You’ll get the best of Ben’s Bubbles, and you’ll get the newest, manliest (or un-manliest – you choose) bars of soap that Ben makes, bars that no one else gets to try.

Pine Tar & Neem Oil Soaps

Pine tar & Neem oil are soothing and moisturizing; many Asian cultures swear by the wound-healing properties of the neem tree.
Put them together in a soap, and wow! this soap is AMAZING. Pine tar has a sweet, woody scent that often takes over, but these soaps, at 7-10% pine tar, are mixed with some sage and dragon’s blood EO. The scent is wonderful, and it lasts.
Varieties:
Ash and Resin: This soap will quench the flames in your skin. Made with Pine Tar, Neem oil, AND activated charcoal, this soap soothes every time you use it. Activated Charcoal is especially good for people with oily skin. The batch with the flames on top has powdered goji berries for exfoliation. These bars are large, between 6 and 7 oz ea.
The Tar Bar: This unassuming bar has all sorts of benefits, with pine tar, goat milk, neem oil, and oats+neem leaf powder as exfoliants. Each bar is about 6 oz.
Tar & Toffee: These 5 oz. nuggets mix the best of pine tar, and honey. The fragrance, leather & smoke, comes through just a bit, not overpowered by the pine tar.

Ben’s Sage & Steel Men’s Shave Soap

This stuff is it!

After working tirelessly on his manly (and sometimes unmanly) soaps, Ben decided to tackle shave soap! Sage & Steel is the result.
Unlike store-bought shaving cream, Ben’s Shave Soap will nourish and feed your skin with oils and butters that it needs. Your face and (ahem) other parts will thank you.
Each canister holds about 6 oz of shave soap. You can buy Sage & Steel as a stand-alone canister or with a brush. Pamper yourself and try shaving a different way. You won’t be disappointed.

Scent: Eucalyptus & Sage

Silver Sage “Sagebrush” Soap

SageBrush Silver Sage Soap

This is a simple bar for a simple man. But looks can be deceiving. It’s made from the best ingredients: tallow, coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, castor oil, and a touch of beeswax. It will lather well and your skin will feel great.
Each bar is about 6 oz, so it will last awhile.

Coffee & Bourbon Scented Soaps

Coffee and Bourbon Scented Soap

These soaps look and smell delicious! AND they’re good to your skin. The smell is sexy and women love it.
A Cup o’ Joe smells like your favorite coffee shop and Midnight Roast it’s a blend of coffee and bourbon.
Treat your skin right and smell great all day.

Ben’s first “bar o’ Joe” was a pretty simple bar; but as he realized how great they smelled, he got serious about his coffee soap. Some folks drop a few coffee beans on top of their soaps, but Ben make his beans OUT OF SOAP! Even the beans. Yep.

Ale Yeah! Beer Soap

Ale Yeah! This beer infused soap will treat you right. It looks beautiful and feels good on your skin. Made with my own home brew, this soap won’t disappoint.
Beer soap offers skin benefits such as improved lather, soothing irritation, and moisturization due to the amino acids and B vitamins in hops and yeast. Its antibacterial properties from brewer’s yeast can help fight acne, while antioxidants from beer ingredients protect the skin. Beer soap’s natural sugars also contribute to a creamy lather and help with moisture retention, making the skin feel soft and supple.
