Washing our hands has always been a critical step to prevent spreading germs and getting sick, and yet, the soap we use is often treated as an afterthought. As we are increasingly becoming aware of what we eat or apply on our skin and looking for pure ingredients, soap is also worth a little more consideration. Plus: It’s always nicer when the packaging is stylish, right?
Browsing through the ND image gallery, you’ll see beautifully packaged hand soap on the corner of almost every sink in Scandinavian homes. That’s because it is one of those details that make a big difference for your bathroom’s or kitchen’s look, as well as a way to enjoy the little pleasures in life and indulge in a moment of mindfulness.
Here are 12 deliciously-scented soaps that will elevate your décor and make every hand-washing session a lovely aromatic experience.
