After a long day visiting the Dallas Farmers Market, tailgating for a Rangers game, or biking around White Rock Lake, there’s nothing like a bar of Texas soap to take off all that dirt, sweat, and sunscreen. Take a look at the soaps and body washes made in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

45 minutes north of Dallas in McKinney, Texas, is the home of FarmHouse Fresh Goods. Started in 2005, FarmHouse Fresh is known for cruelty-free soaps made in the DFW Metroplex with fruits and vegetables from farms around the United States.
One of the newest soaps produced by the ranch is its Pink Moon Shea Butter Soap, a great option for those with sensitive skin. This soap is triple-milled, removing extra air and water from the mixture and keeping more of the fragrance and shea butter that makes the soap so great.
The Soap Exchange was one of the first Texas soaps I tried Founded in 2003, the Soap Exchange is located in Fort Worth, Texas and features a wide variety of natural soaps in both bar and body wash form. All their Fort Worth made body washes and soaps are free of dyes, preservatives, phthalates, and artificial ingredients.
I’ve personally used their lavender, honey almond and pink grapefruit body washes, all of which smell fantastic. Note: The picture above was taken during the COVID-19 lockdown in Texas, and as a result the usual bottles were unavailable.
Ancient Art Soap hails from Strawn, Texas, a small town out in West Texas halfway between Fort Worth and Abilene. For over 20 years, Ancient Art has been crafting soaps through a cold process, using fatty oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil to ensure your skin stays hydrated.
Ancient Art takes one extra step during the cold process to superfat its soaps, which delivers extra moisture to your skin while you wash. Want a soap that leaves you feeling extra Texan? Try out the bluebonnet soap, which is made with fragrance oils from the state flower.
In 1997 SoapGirl started as a design studio and transitioned into a soap making business starting in 2010 located in Dallas, Texas. Incorporating some of the same products that were used in the design studio, SoapGirl produces a wide variety of liquid and bar soaps, including charcoal soap, sea salt soap, and goats milk soap.
A variety of scents are available for SoapGirl’s goat milk soap, including honey almond, lavender, and juniper. All soaps are made using a traditional cold process method and cure for at least four weeks.
For over 12 years, Two Old Goats has been creating lotion using a mixture of goats milk and 6 essential oils. Recently this Haltom City company began expanding beyond its signature goat milk lotion to include bath and body products such as soaps and shower gels.
All of the products made by Two Old Goats are created to help soothe aching muscles and joints. If you suffer from similar pain, you’re in luck – its body wash promises the same relieving results.
