Frequently asked questions
Is Pears soap antibacterial?
The classic transparent Pears bar is a gentle cleansing and moisturising soap rather than a dedicated antibacterial one, though Pears does make specific germ-protection variants. Check the pack if you want an antibacterial version.
Is Pears a glycerin soap?
Yes, Pears is a glycerin-based transparent soap, and the glycerin is part of why it has a reputation for being gentle and moisturising on the skin. It is this that gives the bar its characteristic clear, amber look.
Is Pears soap good for your face?
Many people use gentle Pears soap on the face and find it mild, thanks to its glycerin content, though any bar soap can feel drying for very dry or sensitive skin. If your skin is easily irritated, a dedicated facial cleanser may suit better.
Can you use Pears soap on your hair?
You can wash hair with soap in a pinch, but soap is not designed for hair and can leave it feeling dry or dull, especially in hard water. For regular washing, a proper shampoo is a better choice.
