Get your best skin back with the Gallinée Cleansing Bar

Get your best skin back with the Gallinée Cleansing Bar. The Face & Body Cleansing Bar is made from gentle cleansing actives in a solid form, called a Syndet.

Our scientifically formulated complex of prebiotics and lactic acid nourishes and protects your skin’s good bacteria while eliminating the bad. Leaves your skin looking radiant, while cleansing, soothing, and nourishing it.

Gentle enough for face and body.

Suitable for sensitive skin and even skin prone to eczema.

Plastic-free cleanser - no bottles or plastic wrap!

Marie’s word, founder of Gallinée:

“The product I love the most because it was so hard to make. But it was worth the pain, it’s literally the best soap (without soap) that you’ll ever use. I use it to wash my face, body and …downstairs garden. Plastic-free and much more sustainable than shower gel, that goes without saying.”

Key Ingredients

PREBIOTICS: A mix of ultra-gentle fibres and sugars that feed your skin’s good bacteria and help support the skin’s barrier, with an antibacterial action against bad bacteria.

LACTIC ACID: The gentlest of AHAs, lactic acid helps the skin to stay at its optimal pH level and has hydrating and softening properties. Gallinée uses a slow-release form to suit even sensitive skin.

PHYSIOLOGICAL PH: All Gallinée products are made to match the optimal pH of the skin and the microbiome.

WITHOUT: Doesn’t contain soap, colourants, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, microbeads, phenoxyethanol or methylisothiazolinone.

How to use

Ideal for face and body. Wet the Cleansing Bar and lather in the palm of your hands. Massage into damp skin and rinse. Can either be used as part of your shower routine to cleanse your whole body or as you wash your face in the morning or evening.

    I wish I would of found this Cleansing bar sooner!! I had always had breakouts on my face for as long as I can remember... Since my Niece told me about this company I had decided to give it a try. GAME CHANGER! for the past 3 years of using this cleansing bar....NO more breakouts on my face!!!
    I am a customer for life!! Amazing products, and HIGHLY recommend giving this company a try, no matter what your skin care needs. Thank you, and keep up the great work!!
    Sincerely, a customer for life!

    I have been using the Gallinee cleansing bar soap for around five weeks now on my face and body. It's a beautiful soap but I find it's too drying for my face. However, the moisturiser seems to rebalance the dryness.

  3. Qurtulaine(verified owner)

    I absolutely loved using this, cleaned my skin so well after a full glam. So gentle to the skin

  4. Zainab(verified owner)

    Very gentle non-stripping cleansing bar. I used this on both my face and body and I loved it. I love my body products fragranced though. So I prefer it more for my face.

  5. melissa.oreilly(verified owner)

    Thank you for formulating this product Gallinee!! I’ve been using this as an alternative to shower gel. The subtle perfume is great and it’s much easier to wash off than a regular gel. I find my skin is soft and doesn’t feel so dry as in the past. I would recommend using this product or the perfume-free bar depending on your skin type. Thank you again for a great product.

  6. alex.axenbeck1995(verified owner)

    Never thought it would be worth investing in a body soap bar but this has changed my mind forever! Such a beautiful, soft product with a natural, subtle smell. Love it!!

  7. Christine(verified owner)

    Super produit
    Il nettoie tout en douceur
    Je n’ai plus de plaques rouges qui démangent
    Ma peau est douce et apaisée

  8. Jane Godwin(verified owner)

    I really like this "soap". It's very soothing and non-drying on eczema skin and helps combat high pH hard water. However the shape of the bar is is awful. It's too big for the palm and who thought a ridge round the edge was a good idea? I actually cut it in half with a hot knife to make it more practical to use which is not what you expect to be doing after spending at £13 . It would be perfect if moulded in a rounded oval shape

    Super pain lavant ! je l'ai utilisé tout l'hiver et même sans crème hydratante mais peau n'était pas sèche du tout ! Je recommande !

    Brilliant product - good for your skin microbiome, non-drying, lasts ages, great for travel, gentle enough for face and hair, and kind to the earth! I have found it amazing for my sensitive skin, thank you

FAQs

Frequent questions answered by our founder and Doctor of Pharmacy.

Why a bar without soap?

Soap is really drying for your skin: it dissolves oil and sebum. But your skin needs sebum – it protects the microbiome and keeps the skin soft and supple. If you strip all the oil off your skin, one of two things will happen:

  • your skin will get all dry and scaly, or
  • it will increase its sebum production, in order to compensate, and you’ll end up with extra-oily skin and/or breakouts.
  • Long term it can even lead to eczema, when the skin barrier gets too damaged

That’s why Gallinée decided to develop a Cleansing Bar without soap, very gentle for your skin and kind to the environment. On top of that, it’s plastic free!

Can I use this Cleansing Bar for my face and body?

Our Cleansing Bar is a soap without soap and a must-have at Gallinée. It’s very gentle and helps you to keep your skin pH balanced as the Cleansing Bar is at a 5.5 pH. It only has 0.3% of perfume.

It’s a convenient product as it can be used both on the body skin and the face! It also has been tested on most sensitive skins and skin prone to eczema with great success.

Why is there perfume in this Cleansing Bar?

We included a low level of perfume in our products so that using them is a pleasure range and because probiotics sometimes smell a bit like… yogurt! But we chose a mostly synthetic perfume in order to lessen the risks of a reaction as certain perfumes can make the most sensitive skins react. Essential oils in particular are quite allergenic, more than synthetic perfumes. Our products with perfume have a really low amount of it, 0.3% for example for our Cleansing Bar. And you will not find any fragrance in products intended to remain on the face without being rinsed off.
Our Cleansing bar is still extremely gentle and can be used on very sensitive skin. We even made a perfume-free version!

Is the Cleansing Bar free from phthalates?

Yes, our Cleansing Bar is free from phthalates. You can check all the ingredients present in the Cleansing Bar (including the fragrance) on the packaging and on our website in the product description. All potential allergens are also registered in the INCI list.

Is it suitable for rosacea-prone skin?

Unfortunately, we have not tested our products specifically for rosacea so we always recommend checking with your GP first. This soft cleanser has been tested on most sensitive skins and atopy-prone skins with great success.

Can I use the Cleansing Bar on babies/children?

The Cleansing Bar in the Perfume Free version can indeed be used for babies and children, as it is so gentle.

What is the shelf life of unopened cleansing bars ?

There is no shelf life for the CB

The stearic acid in your cleansing bar is derived from palm oil?

The stearic acid in our Cleansing Bar is indeed derived partly from palm oil, but we are working on making it sustainably sourced from early next year.

Can I wash my hands with the Cleansing Bar?

Totally! A lot of our customers have our Cleansing Bar everywhere in their house to wash their hands, their face and their whole family.
