Naturally Naked Soap

In Miami, the words natural and naked rarely cross paths.

Except in the sentence, “We went to the beach naked, naturally.”

Make way for a new meaning: Naturally Naked Soap, beauty bars handmade in Miami Beach proper.

Conceived by local Kristin Bauer when her mom developed allergies, the soaps are stripped of all kinds of muck: no parabens, phthalates, sodium laurate, artificial colors, or preservatives. So what is in there? All-natural vegetable goodness.

The soaps come in guest bathroom-worthy shapes like hearts and flowers, as well as sweet scents: lavender (complete with exfoliating buds), coconut lime, oatmeal almond, and eucalyptus and rosemary with actual cranberry seeds.

There are also lip balms made from scratch.

For real.
