Three benefits of Raw Sugar Soap for Guys

Guys skincare, haircare, and grooming is just as important as the ladies. Sure, one could argue soap is soap, but there is more than that when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and fresh. But what are the benefits quality soap? What the heck is a Sugar Scrub? What does Raw Sugar Living Soap do that is so different than (insert your current knock-off soap in the shower)? Well, fun fact: Sugar makes for a natural abrasive ingredient in scrubs helping to rid your skin of that junk you brought home (wait…). Sugar is a natural humectant, which simply means it holds moisture and ensures your skin is kept hydrated. Have you noticed Sugar melts in water? Yuppers- that is one reason why its a solid choice in skincare routines.

We know you (or your girl) has heard of Raw Sugar Living’s line of skincare products. We must admit, we are part of the “oh yeah I think my girl puts that in our shower for me to use” category. Until now. See, our crew finally got our hands on the full line of Raw Sugar products- specifically made for men- to see what in fact the health benefits of this line of skincare brought to the duuude crew. We tested out a full-range of products and found 3 killer benefits to switching to Raw Sugar for all our skincare, haircare, body-care routine.

INITIAL IMPRESSION

Raw Sugar has this motto: Clean for All. Ok, great, But what does that mean? We dove in and took a look. This is the “RAW PURPOSE”:

We Want Clean For All.

“We stand for the real, raw authenticity of being human. For the respect of our planet and each other. We stand Clean For All because everyone deserves products that make them feel clean, beautiful, empowered, and loved from the outside in. Truth. Love. Sugar.”

While we love ourselves a clean purpose, we want to know what makes this product line different than the others in the store or online? For us (not sure about you), but we tend to grab the cooler looking bottle of shampoo, the one with the buzz-words like: “This makes you more Manly” (exaggerate much?)…none the less, we want to know WHAT a product does for us, not what it says it does for all mankind. So, after diving more into the Raw Sugar line, and trying their brand out, we surprisingly found 3 key reasons why this line of skincare made us ditch the backyard body wash (hey that might be a cool brand!) and shampoo we had in our shower and replaced it with Raw Sugar.

Our initial crew impression: Raw Sugar Living may be what we needed all along.

TESTING IT OUT

No better way to test out a skin/hair/body care lineup than heading to the bathroom…

For 30 days our crew tested out the Raw Sugar products to compare the prior results before using them. While after the 30 days, we barely had product left (you get quite the amount with each order which we like), we did not have any lingering doubt out the legitimacy of these products.

Raw Sugar offers quite the range of products- for men, women, and children! For purposes of our review, we focused on some key “mens” products to highlight these.

Men's Bar Soap Duo

This Bar Soap is the perfect go-to for a gentle and hydrating deep cleanse. Massage those tired and overworked muscles to feel refreshed and confident. Black Coconut + Sea Salt an invigorating and combination for the adventurous spirit.

HOW TO USE

Lather body for a cleansing and soothing massage. Rinse clean. Goodbye dirt and tada!

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• Made with Plant-Derived Ingredients & Cold-Pressed Extracts

• Cruelty-Free & Vegan

• Free of SLS/SLES Sulfates & Parabens

• Made with Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastics in most packaging

• Cold-Press Technology®

We swapped out the soaps and used this bar. Loved every minute of it. The backside raised bubbles help with grip and grit cleaning. No slips, no drops here. The feeling of our skin after was smoother than a the top of a fresh mountain snow and the feeling was better than other bar soaps. We dug the feeling of clean we got when we used it over the course of 30 days. Very solid smelling too- nothing crazy strong or over the top.

Duuude score: 9/10 -  Nearly perfect.

Men's 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner

Power up and strengthen! Promote thicker looking hair with this reviving blend, made with Cold-Pressed oils and plant derived extracts. Enriched with conditioning Tea Tree + Coconut + Aloe, this 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner combo is a potent formula. Just lather, rinse, and enjoy effortless volume.

HOW TO USE

Pump small amount into your palm and apply to hair. Gently lather up and rinse clean.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• Made with Plant-Derived Ingredients & Cold-Pressed Extracts

• Cruelty-Free & Vegan

• Free of SLS/SLES Sulfates & Parabens

• Made with Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastics in most packaging

• Cold-Press Technology®

Coming in for a landing, this is the best combo of Shampoo/Conditioner we have tried. We usually have to buy a separate shampoo and conditioner cause the blend is garbage. Not here. Smooth and leaves our hair flake-less. No joke- when we wear black shirts you can see dandruff. But after a few washes with this, we noticed a huge reduction in that on our shoulders. Solid and well blended. Perfect smell and hair is thick after which helps too when it comes to styling for the day.

Duuude score: 10/10

STANDOUT FEATURES

Raw Sugar has an amazing lineup of mens shower/bath products. The quality is extremely high and steers clear of the junk that is found in other cheap and mass produced garbage on the shelves. There are some key standout features we wanted to highlight and our top 3 Reasons we Switched:

• Reason 1: Their Cold Pressed Technology® is a specialized hydraulic process that gently extracts vitamins, minerals and enzymes from fresh whole fruits and plants, leaving the healthiest natural nutrients for your skin to soak up- so you get more of the nutrients into your body unlike other brands

• Reason 2: They offer what we need, without the added stuff. We are simple guys. Give us a bar of soap and some shampoo. We don’t think you need 12 products in the shower to the the job done. For $20ish we have our haircare and skincare wash down

• Reason 3: It targets guys skin and hair types. Sure, our girls’ products work but many are not a simple or clean as this is for guys. Made for guys, this lineup does what we need, when we need it and the results are better feeling and healthier skin over the 30 day test
