As consumers continue to reassess the environmental impact of everyday products, Crate 61 is expanding its lineup of plant-based bar soaps and curated bundles, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality personal care with reduced reliance on plastic packaging.
Crate 61, a Canadian personal care company known for its cold process bar soaps, continues to grow its product offering while maintaining a focus on accessible pricing, consistent quality, and responsible manufacturing practices.
Each bar is made using plant-based oils and mineral ingredients and packaged in FSC-certified paper packaging, offering an alternative to traditional liquid soap formats that rely on plastic bottles.
The company also supports environmental initiatives focused on removing plastic waste from global waste streams, contributing to broader efforts to reduce plastic pollution.
A Growing Shift Toward Bar Soap
The personal care industry generates billions of plastic containers each year, much of which ends up in landfills or oceans. As awareness increases, many consumers are returning to bar soap as a practical way to reduce plastic consumption in their daily routines.
Unlike liquid body wash, which typically requires plastic packaging and contains a high percentage of water, bar soap offers a concentrated format that reduces packaging needs and shipping weight.
Crate 61 has positioned itself within this shift by focusing on plant-based formulations, traditional cold process soapmaking, and streamlined packaging, allowing consumers to make simple changes that can reduce reliance on single-use plastics.
Expanding Product Lineup
Crate 61 continues to expand its assortment with both individual bar soaps and multi-pack bundles designed for convenience and value.
Among its best-selling scents are:
- Cedarwood & Pine – a woodsy blend inspired by forest environments
- Eucamint – a refreshing combination of eucalyptus and mint
- Alpine & Spice – a crisp scent with warm undertones
The company has also introduced Lavender Rose, a new scent that combines calming lavender with soft floral notes for a balanced botanical profile.
In addition to individual bars, Crate 61 offers customizable “Build-Your-Own” bundles, allowing customers to select preferred scent combinations, as well as curated sets designed for gifting.
A Premium Experience at Accessible Prices
While many natural personal care products are positioned at premium price points, Crate 61 focuses on delivering consistent product quality at everyday prices.
By combining vertically integrated manufacturing, efficient production processes, and a concentrated bar format, the company is able to balance performance, accessibility, and scalability across both retail and e-commerce channels.
