Soap stocks in supermarkets are dwindling and it’s hardly surprising. We’ve all been told to wash our hands more frequently than usual – and soap gets rid of coronavirus just as well as hand sanitiser.

So, how can you get your hands on some, when soap seems to be sold out in pharmacies, supermarkets and even online retailers like Amazon?

It’s worth looking at brands you’d have previously considered more of a treat – yes, they may be a little pricier than your average soap, but really shouldn’t key workers, the vulnerable and the elderly have first dibs on the cheaper options?

Take one for the team by shopping around brands that still have stocks.

& Other Stories – the clothing retailer – still has a selection of liquid hand soaps online. A 250ml bottle is £6, they come in pretty colours and a range of different scents, too. The brand is offering free home delivery and 100 days free returns on all orders, too, btw.

Or, try The Body Shop. You can buy 100g soaps for £2.50, with scents including satsuma, cocoa butter and British rose.

Aesop is on the spennier side, with hand washes starting from £7 and going up to £27. Neal’s Yard and L’Occitane will also both set you back a few quid – but your hands will smell lush.

A cheaper option may to be to try M&S, where solid soaps and hand wash start from £2.50, or the handmade bar soap collection on Etsyand more niche sites likeThe Soap Kitchen.

You could also check out local gift stores in your area and see if they’re selling soap online for home delivery.
