Bay Rum Soap Bar
Bay Rum is our take on the timeless Bay Rum bar but with a little extra.... it brings that warm, spicy, barbershop clean scent (without the powder), boosted with just enough grit to keep your skin smooth and fresh, without scraping you raw.
We blended in light pumice for a medium-mild exfoliation—strong enough to polish off dead skin, but still a daily go-to. Then we added a splash of turmeric for its natural skin-brightening and calming properties. Because let’s be real: good skin isn’t just about scrubbing—it’s about treating it right.
This is your "grown-man soap" (or grown-woman, or grown-whoever-you-are) that smells like confidence and keeps things smooth without overdoing it.
Smells like: warm spice, clove, bay leaf, a hint of citrus
Feels like: smooth grit, barbershop throwback, your new daily driver

Let’s keep it simple. Here’s what actually matters.
Why
Most bars get soft, shrink fast, and disappear in a week.
This one doesn’t.
- Cured hard for durability
- Holds its shape - doesn't break apart
- Stays solid between uses (use a soap saver dish)
You’ll notice the difference after a few showers.
Clean skin shouldn’t feel tight or stripped.
- Removes sweat, oil, and buildup
- Leaves skin feeling normal—not dry
- Built for everyday use
No buzzwords. No fear tactics.
- We don’t pretend natural = better
- We don’t inflate ingredients to sound impressive
- We focus on what actually works
- No ingredient fear-mongering.
Honest products. No marketing spin.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
On average, a LATHR soap bar lasts 20+ showers, depending on how it's used and stored.
To get the most life from your bar, let it fully dry between showers and use a draining soap saver to keep it out of standing water. A dry bar lasts longer.
-
No. Grit levels vary by scent.
You'll find the grit level clearly listed on each product page, ranging from Zero Grit for a smooth wash to heavier-grit bars for more exfoliation.
-
Cold-process soap is made by combining oils with an alkali to create soap through a process called saponification. The bars are then given time to cure, helping them become harder and longer lasting.
-
We recommend using our soap bars on the body rather than the face.
Traditional soap bars generally have a higher pH than facial skin, which can leave the face feeling dry or tight and may disrupt its natural moisture barrier, especially with frequent use. Some of our bars also contain exfoliating grit or stronger fragrance profiles that are better suited for body skin.
For your face, we recommend using a dedicated facial cleanser formulated to clean without over-stripping the skin.
Customers praised this Bay Rum soap for its "tropical vacation" scent described as citrusy, bright, and spicy. The soap lathers well with medium grit for exfoliation. However, some noted the fragrance is very strong and may be too intense for fragrance-free workplaces or sensitive skin. One shopper found the grit level too abrasive for their skin.
- Takes you to being at your favorite beach every time you use it
- A GREAT smelling soap! It lathers well too.
- Invigorating with just the right amount of grit to let you know how clean you're getting

This meshes the best of Virgin Island style and modern rum-forward Bay Rums. Citrusy and bright with a light spicy touch, takes you to being at your favorite beach every time you use it

I've been waiting for Lathr to do a Bay Rum scent and they didn't disappoint. Excellent soap.
S
I love the smell! Such a great find!
M
The scent is great. Smells like a tropical vacation. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize it was medium grit. The grit level is too much for my skin. I am still giving it 5 stars because that's my fault for not reading the description carefully. For someone who likes a higher level of grit, this is one you'll enjoy.
C
This is definitely in my top 5 soaps. Great scent.
M
By providing such great products time and time again! Ember Bay is not my favourite soap nor is it my favourite scent but it beats the competitors like an untethered Tyson on Jake Paul. Another excellent buy thank you.
K
Great fragrance but STRONG
not for fragrance free workplaces. Seriously. Nice soap but if you don’t love the fragrance…
G
Oooh… invigorating with just the right amount of grit to let you know how clean you’re getting… great scent too! Thanks, Lathr (Frank)!
C
Smells great
W
Shipping took a lot longer than usual but worth the wait!
S
It’s hard to find a good smelling Bay Rum soap. But this is a GREAT smelling soap! It lathers well too. I’ll be purchasing more of this soap as needed. Also going to try their deodorant.
