Even as sales of shower gels and liquid soaps rise, bar soaps are perennial favorites with consumers. At NYSCC Suppliers Day, Commonwealth Soap & Toiletries dished on hot trends in the bar soap category. Here's a quick look at some of them:
•Americana—think regional scents likes Georgia peach, cranberry and Napa Valley, a bar soap which teams vine ripe grape and juicy currant with pomegranate nectar, olive leaf and sandalwood.
•Tropical Destination—allows consumers to relive that favorite vacation or escape the everyday, as in Bermuda Pink Sand with Granulated Sugar bar soap.
•Green & Clean—a lifestyle and responsibility to planet Earth, think soaps with bamboo or cocoa.
• Home Comforts—gourmand scents like sea salt and caramel, pumpkin pie, French toast, and even Applewood Smoked Bacon bar soap!
