What is MSM and what does it do for skin?

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally-occurring organic sulfur compound found in plants, animals, and humans. Sulfur is often called the beauty mineral because it promotes circulation, fights inflammation, and plays a key role in producing collagen and keratin—two essential proteins that maintain skin structure and elasticity. MSM plays a major role in the body's ability to produce collagen, which provides structural support and impacts skin flexibility and resilience. Natural collagen production declines starting in your 20s and 30s, which is why skin naturally starts to sag and wrinkle with age. When applied topically in bar soap, MSM delivers sulfur directly to the skin during cleansing, supporting the skin's natural renewal processes.

How long does one bar of soap last?

A 5 oz Griffin Remedy bar typically lasts 4-6 weeks with daily use for one person. Longevity depends on usage frequency, how you store the bar between uses, and whether it's shared among household members. To maximize lifespan: Keep the bar on a well-draining soap dish so it dries completely between uses. Avoid leaving it in standing water or direct shower spray.

Are Griffin Remedy bar soaps safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. All Griffin Remedy bar soaps are formulated without sulfates (like sodium lauryl sulfate), parabens, or synthetic fragrances. These are common irritants found in many conventional soaps and body washes. For maximum gentleness, choose the Unscented formula, which contains MSM and moisturizing ingredients without any essential oils or fragrance compounds. If you have a diagnosed skin condition like eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis, consult your dermatologist before changing your cleansing routine.

What's the difference between the scented and unscented formulas?

All formulas contain the same MSM base and moisturizing ingredients. Scented varieties (Bulgarian Lavender, Grapefruit, Himalayan Cedarwood, Lemon Verbena, Orange Blossom) include pure essential oils for fragrance and aromatherapy benefits. The Unscented formula omits all essential oils, making it ideal for fragrance-sensitive individuals or those who prefer no scent. Both options are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from synthetic fragrances.

Why choose bar soap instead of liquid body wash?

Environmental impact and efficiency. Liquid soap contains significant water content, making bottles heavier and less efficient to ship, and users tend to consume seven times more product per wash. Bar soaps packaged in paper or cardboard generate less waste and last longer, making them the more sustainable choice. Only about 9% of plastic waste is recycled, meaning most body wash bottles end up in landfills or oceans. Griffin Remedy bar soaps use recyclable packaging, eliminating plastic from your bathroom routine entirely. From a skin health perspective, many conventional body washes contain surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) that strip skin of natural oils, leaving it tight and dry. Griffin Remedy bar soaps use traditional saponification with natural oils to cleanse gently while maintaining skin moisture.

Can I use Griffin Remedy bar soap on my face?

While these bars are formulated for body use, many customers with non-sensitive skin use them on their faces successfully. The MSM, natural oils, and absence of harsh sulfates make them gentler than conventional bar soaps. However, facial skin is thinner and more delicate than body skin. If you have acne-prone, very dry, or sensitive facial skin, consider Griffin Remedy's dedicated facial care products, which are specifically formulated for the face. If you do use the bar soap on your face, start with the Unscented formula and patch test first.

Are these soaps vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. All Griffin Remedy products are 100% vegan (no animal-derived ingredients) and cruelty-free (never tested on animals). Griffin Remedy products are vegan, 100% paraben-free with absolutely no artificial colors or fragrances.

How should I store bar soap to make it last longer?

Use a soap dish with drainage holes or slats that allows air to circulate underneath the bar. This prevents the soap from sitting in water and becoming mushy. Place the dish away from direct shower spray. Between uses, the bar should dry completely—this extends its life and maintains its firmness. Avoid storing bar soap in airtight containers or leaving it on flat surfaces where water pools underneath.

Natural Bar Soap

Griffin Remedy's moisturizing bar soaps contain MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), an organic sulfur compound that supports collagen production and skin barrier function. MSM acts as a sulfur donor to keratin, helping strengthen this essential skin protein. Clinical research shows MSM supports hair, skin and nail health, making it a valuable addition to daily skincare routines.

Each 5 oz bar is formulated without sulfates, parabens, or synthetic fragrances. Available in six scents—Bulgarian Lavender, Grapefruit, Himalayan Cedarwood, Lemon Verbena, Orange Blossom, and Unscented. All formulas are vegan and cruelty-free.

Why bar soap? Bar soap cuts greenhouse emissions by about one-third compared to liquid body wash, and requires five times less energy to produce and comes with up to 20 times less packaging. Griffin Remedy bar soaps are packaged in recyclable materials, eliminating plastic waste from your bathroom routine.

Who it's for: Anyone seeking effective daily cleansing with skin-supportive ingredients. The MSM formula works for all skin types, from dry to oily. Choose scented options for aromatherapy benefits, or unscented for fragrance-sensitive skin.
