There are 18 kinds of shea butter-enriched soap, and among them are some very unique fragrances, like vanilla bean (118 yuan for 150 grams), suitable for any skin type, and peony (118 yuan for 150 grams) for dry skin. The peony soap claims to have rich vitamins that can prevent freckles.

Beijing Today recommends the Marseille soap (268 yuan for 600 grams), which comes with 72 percent olive oil and a biodegradable package. Marseille soap is a 600-year-old soap made from vegetable oils, first regulated by King Louis XIV in 1688, suitable for any skin type and even newborn babies. It takes four weeks to make a proper Marseille soap.
