Buy Indian & Everyday Skin Care Online — Soap, Body Wash, Lotion & Face Wash
Personal care is the aisle you notice only when the last bar of soap runs out. GoDirect carries the bathroom shelf an Indian household in Canada actually shops for — the soaps and face washes people grew up with at home, sitting beside the Canadian mainstays — for same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area, so it arrives with the rest of the week's groceries.
Soap bars cover both shelves at once. Dettol comes in original, cool, fresh, aloe vera, sensitive and re-energize; Pears in original, mint, amber and lemon flower; Lux in jasmine, aqua sparkle, velvet touch, soft touch, radiant glow and magical spell. Lifebuoy, Hamam Neem Soap Bar, Mysore Sandal Soap and Santoor Soap are the names familiar from bathrooms in Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai and Bengaluru alike, and Rexona, Irish Spring, Dove original and sensitive skin sit alongside them. Himalaya Honey and Cream Soap and Himalaya Neem & Turmeric Soap, and Patanjali Aloe Vera Kanti Soap, carry the neem-and-haldi register that runs through so much of Indian household routine. If you prefer liquids, there are body washes and shower gels from Nivea, Dove, Old Spice, AXE, Dial, Softsoap and Pro Silk, plus liquid hand soaps and cream soaps in aloe, lavender, coconut, milk and honey variants.
For face and everyday skin there is a wide face wash range — Himalaya Aloe Vera, Neem, Oil Clear Lemon, Clear Complex and Men, Patanjali Neem Tulsi Facewash and Patanjali Saundarya Facewash, and Garnier Men Oil Clear Facewash — along with Himalaya Apricot Face Scrub, Himalaya Neem Face Pack and Dabur Rose Water, the gulab jal that sits on a lot of Indian dressing tables. Body lotions come from Nivea, Vaseline, Dove and Delon in cocoa butter, aloe and honey-almond styles, and petroleum jelly is stocked in original, aloe fresh, cocoa butter and baby versions. Deodorants and sticks include AXE, Old Spice and Dove, with an unscented Dove stick if you would rather skip fragrance altogether.
Grooming and accessories round out the aisle: sunscreen lotions and sprays in SPF 30, SPF 50 and a kids SPF 60, razors and blades including a double-edge metal razor, an eyebrow razor and Wilkinson Classic Blades, nail clippers, mini glass nail files, a foot file, nail polish remover, cotton balls and satin cotton pads, a makeup sponge with holder and a loofah bath scrubber. Bars come in 51 g, 60 g, 75 g, 100 g, 113 g, 125 g and 170 g, and liquids in 100 ml, 200 ml, 250 ml, 400 ml, 500 ml, 591 ml, 709 ml and 946 ml, with larger 1.90 lt and 2 lt bottles for a busy household.
A simple way to choose: bars are the economical pick for a family bathroom and travel easily, while pump bottles of body wash and hand soap suit a shared sink and last longer per bottle. If fragrance is not for you, look for the unscented and sensitive variants. Keep bars on a draining dish so they do not soften between uses, and close lotion and jelly lids tightly so the product does not dry out at the rim.
Frequently asked questions
Which Indian soaps do you carry?
The bars most people ask for from home are all here: Hamam Neem Soap Bar, Mysore Sandal Soap, Santoor Soap, Lifebuoy Soap Bar, Lux in jasmine, velvet touch, soft touch, radiant glow and aqua sparkle, Pears in original, mint, amber and lemon flower, Dettol across original, cool, fresh, aloe vera and sensitive, plus Himalaya Neem & Turmeric Soap, Himalaya Honey and Cream Soap and Patanjali Aloe Vera Kanti Soap.
We are doing a haldi ceremony — what do you stock for it?
The haldi is the turmeric-and-ubtan morning before a Punjabi or Gujarati wedding, when family rub a yellow paste on the bride and groom before they bathe. For the bathroom side of that day we carry Himalaya Neem & Turmeric Soap and Himalaya Neem Face Pack, and Dabur Rose Water for a light splash afterwards. Turmeric and gram flour for the paste itself sit in the grocery aisles rather than here.
What is gulab jal and how is it used?
Gulab jal is simply rose water — the clear, rose-scented water kept on a dressing table in many Indian homes and dabbed on with cotton, or patted on after a wash. We stock it as Dabur Rose Water, listed in the catalogue as Rose Water - Dabur as well.
What is the difference between a soap bar and a body wash?
Both are used the same way in the shower. A bar is solid, used directly or with a loofah, and is usually the more economical choice per wash — which is why most Indian bathrooms still keep one on the dish. A body wash is a liquid dispensed from a bottle or pump onto a loofah or cloth, which some people prefer for shared bathrooms and travel.
What sizes do soaps, body washes and lotions come in?
Soap bars are commonly 51 g, 60 g, 75 g, 100 g, 113 g, 125 g and 170 g, often in multi-bar packs. Body washes, hand soaps and lotions run from 100 ml and 200 ml through 400 ml, 500 ml, 591 ml, 709 ml and 946 ml, up to 1.90 lt and 2 lt bottles.
Do you deliver skin and face care same day in the GTA?
Yes. GoDirect delivers same day across the Greater Toronto Area — add your soap, body wash or lotion to the same cart as your Indian grocery order and pick an available delivery slot at checkout.
