So, What Is Kraken Soap?

Kraken Wash is based out of Temecula, California that provides high-quality but affordable personal hygiene products. They sell soaps, beard, body, hair products, and even cologne/perfumes. All of the soaps come in 5 ounces squares.

What Soaps Are Available At Kraken Soap?

Kraken Wash is stacked deep with many different scented soaps. As they have currently 26 different bars of soap for sale. They also have some of these soaps with an exfoliant added for that extra scrubbing power if you are interested. I will put an asterisk by the soaps with an exfoliant below.

• Caribbean Scrub* – Citrus Blend with hints of sage and other greens.

• Coral Reef – A popular fruity aroma that smells like Victoria’s Secret Love Spell.

My Overall Experience & Opinion – Is It Worth Buying?

Having used and reviewed quite a large number of different soaps from different companies I would say this is a quality bar of soap with scents that aim to please. They check all the marks you look for in a quality bar of soap. Like, available scents, quality ingredients, and the ability of the soap to form suds easily and generously.

Scents

Soaps should smell fresh and clean and all of the scents that I have tried meet this quality. Nothing smells like a cheaply produced bar of soap made with cheap fragrance oils. They smell very natural and well-blended. This is actually pretty hard to do and when you consider the number of scents it is even more impressive.

Out of everything I purchased I didn’t hate or dislike any of the soaps and that is saying something as I bought 14 bars of soap to use and review. While some scents appealed to me more than others there is nothing I hated or disliked.

What Are My Favorite Scents – Must Buy

My favorite soaps are:

• Sandalwood
• Port Royal
• Black Beard
• Mermaid Bubbles
• Deep Ocean
• Black Spot
• Deep Sea
• Davy Jones Locker
• Atlantis – I think I would love this scent but it was out of stock when I ordered.

Overall

The soap quickly forms a nice layer of suds and it doesn’t take a lot of effort. This doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry either and it has helped my skin during the dry summer months. I also enjoyed the milder exfoliants used in some of their soaps. It is not as aggressive as some others I have tried.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Big selection. A wide selection (26 different bars of soap to choose from) of a variety of different scented soaps to choose from.
• If you love Kraken Soap you can potentially save money by subscribing to having their soap ship either weekly (20% off) or monthly (10% off).
• Certain soaps in their lineup have exfoliants added to help remove hard-to-get-off grease and dirt.
• Great suds. The soap suds up right away with a thickness.
• The scent lingers on the skin for a good while. I would say at least 4 hours it can be smelled and it is definitely a skin scent as it doesn’t project into the environment. This is actually what I prefer.
• Doesn’t dry out the skin.
• Vegan-friendly soap.
• Safe for people with sensitive skin.
• Organic soaps.
• Paraben-free.
• 15-day return and refund if not happy with the product.
• Kraken Wash also has a rewards program called Kraken Rewards that you can sign up for and earn points that you can turn into rewards.
• Highly colorful with swirly patterns that make it pleasant to look at.
• Decent price for a good quality bar of soap.
• I really enjoyed their Sandalwood soap as I am a sucker for a good sandalwood scent.
• They sell a lot of other general hygiene products too.

Cons

• I don’t see a list of ingredients on the individual soap page on Kraken Wash but can be found on the FAQ page. This would be more helpful for people if was on the individual soap pages and not so hard to find. Kraken Wash needs to be more transparent with its ingredients and list them on each individual soap page.
• Was disappointed that Atlantis soap was out of stock when I ordered as I really wanted to try it. As I am a big fan of a quality coconut scent.
