Shaklee Body Bar: soap-free, pH-balanced cleansing with Vital Repair+ antioxidant protection
Soap-free — the critical difference for skin health
Conventional soap is highly alkaline (pH 9-10). Skin’s natural acid mantle has a pH of 4.5-5.5. Every time you wash with alkaline soap, you disrupt this protective barrier — increasing TEWL (transepidermal water loss), disrupting the skin microbiome, and making skin vulnerable to irritants and bacteria.
Vital Repair+® Complex — antioxidant cleansing
Shaklee’s triple-patented Vital Repair+® Complex neutralises free radicals during the cleansing process itself — unusually combining antioxidant protection with cleansing function in a single bar.
Hypoallergenic — designed for sensitive skin
Formulated without the common skin irritants found in conventional soap: synthetic fragrances, artificial colorants, harsh preservatives, and the alkaline pH itself.
Why pH matters for your skin — and why conventional soap is the wrong tool
Your skin’s acid mantle — the thin film of fatty acids, lactic acid and amino acids on the skin surface — maintains a pH of approximately 4.5-5.5. This slightly acidic environment is the first defence against pathogenic bacteria (which prefer alkaline conditions), maintains the skin microbiome, and controls the enzymes that regulate skin cell turnover. Conventional soap has a pH of 9-10 — every wash with conventional soap disrupts the acid mantle, alkalises the skin temporarily, and creates conditions that benefit pathogens over beneficial skin bacteria.
The consequences of chronic alkaline disruption include increased skin sensitivity, dermatitis, rosacea flares, acne (alkaline conditions favour P. acnes), and accelerated skin aging. A pH-balanced, soap-free cleanser that maintains the acid mantle is not a luxury — it is the correct tool for maintaining healthy skin function.
Formulated without 2,500 ingredients potentially harmful to human health or the environment — parabens, sulfates (SLS/SLES), phthalates, silicones, artificial colorants, PEGs, formaldehyde releasers, and synthetic fragrances.

How Shaklee Body Bar NZ | pH-Balanced Soap-Free Cleansing Bar 99g works
pH-balanced cleansing preserves acid mantle
At pH 5-6, the cleansing agents remove dirt and sebum without disrupting the acid mantle — skin returns to its natural pH immediately after rinsing rather than requiring hours of recovery.
Vital Repair+ neutralises cleansing-induced free radicals
Skin cleansing can generate a small amount of oxidative stress. The antioxidant complex neutralises these reactive oxygen species during the cleanse itself.
Glycerin maintains moisture during washing
Rather than leaving skin feeling tight and dry after cleansing, glycerin maintains the aquaporin channels that supply moisture to skin cells throughout the wash.
Emollients condition as they cleanse
The shea or plant butter components leave a thin conditioning film on skin after rinsing — reducing TEWL (transepidermal water loss) in the critical minutes before body lotion or serum application.

Pro tips
Use warm (not hot) water
Hot water further disrupts the skin’s lipid barrier — warm water with a pH-balanced bar is optimal.
Apply body lotion within 3 minutes of cleansing
The ‘3-minute rule’ — applying moisturiser immediately after cleansing locks in moisture before TEWL peaks.
Use for face too
The hypoallergenic, pH-balanced formula is appropriate for facial cleansing, particularly for sensitive and reactive skin types.
