DONGGUBAT

Donggubat is a Korean brand of solid products for hair, skin and the home. According to its Korean website, the company (주)동구밭 is based in Hanam, in Gyeonggi Province, and focuses on shampoo bars and solid detergents, with solid cosmetics and everyday products as well. In 2020, Korean press was already describing it as a social enterprise that made soap in order to employ people with developmental disabilities.

On this page you will find the Donggubat selection at Ma Petite Coree: shampoo bars, soaps, perfume bars, bath products, a hand cream and cleansers. Orders ship from Seoul, like the rest of the shop. This overview relies on listing titles, their photos and what the brand writes on its website, which we report as "according to the brand".

The families below are groupings by name made by Ma Petite Coree from listing titles, not a brand classification. The Correct family, for example, includes Correct Shampoo Bar For Dry Skin, Correct Shampoo Bar For Oily Skin and Correct Shampoo Bar Cooling, but also Correct Baby Soap Aloe and Correct Hand Cream Shea Butter. The Field family gathers bars and soaps like Field Face & Body Bar Lemongrass, Field Correct Body Soap Noni, Field Correct Cleansing Soap Collagen or Field Ampoule Washing Bar Kelp Foam Cleansing, along with Field Blooming shampoo bars.

The Dream Soap family brings together square soaps such as Field Dream Soap Kale, Dream Soap Lattuce, Field Dream Soap Cucumber Eggplant and Field Dream Soap Basil. Gwalsa Therapy includes Gwalsa Therapy Milky Cleanser Oat, Gwalsa Therapy Body Bar Tea Tree and Gwalsa Therapy Scrub Shampoo Bar Geocharcoal. The Vegan family covers the Vegan Treatment Bar Dongbaek and the Vegan Shampoo Bar Dongbaek. Perfume bars and bath products make up two more families.

For a shampoo bar, start with the title. The For Dry Skin, For Oily Skin and Cooling versions in the Correct family read straight from the name, and Gwalsa Therapy Scrub Shampoo Bar Geocharcoal has Scrub in its title. If you have never used a shampoo bar, wet it, lather up, rinse, then let it air-dry between uses, following the packaging instructions.

For body or face, look at the use written in the title: Face & Body, Body Soap, Cleansing Soap or Washing Bar. For a gift, the perfume bars and bath bombs come in playful shapes. If your skin is sensitive, read the ingredient list on the photo or the product before buying; this page does not replace medical advice.

Several shampoo bars, such as Correct Shampoo Bar Cooling, are also filed in the Shampoo collection. The cleansers Gwalsa Therapy Milky Cleanser Oat and Field Ampoule Washing Bar Kelp Foam Cleansing are in the Cleansers collection.

Prices, stock and delivery options appear on each listing and at checkout. If you are torn between two Donggubat products, compare the full titles and label photos, then add the one that fits your need to your cart.

The first trait is the social mission. According to the brand, Donggubat offers products made together by people with and without disabilities, hires more people with developmental disabilities as its monthly sales grow, and aims for at least half of its team. The brand also publishes donation and plastic-reduction figures on its website. Those are its own data, so we do not repeat them here.

The second trait is the format. According to the brand, shampoos, detergents and care products are solid, to avoid plastic containers, and packaging is recycled paper without unnecessary plastic. It also says it uses plant-derived ingredients, no animal-derived raw materials, no chemical surfactants, and a cold-press (CP) process followed by a long aging time. It also cites cosmetic good manufacturing practice. Finally, Donggubat says it does not test on animals.

For hair, Correct Shampoo Bar For Dry Skin and Correct Shampoo Bar Cooling are shampoo bars from the Correct family. Field Blooming Perfume Shampoo Bar Volume and Field Blooming Perfume Shampoo Bar Repair are Field Blooming shampoo bars. For skin and body, Field Face & Body Bar Lemongrass is a face and body bar, Correct Baby Soap Aloe an aloe baby soap, and Correct Hand Cream Shea Butter a hand cream.

For the bath, there are Happy Moment Bath Bomb Set, Field Relaxing Moment Bath Bomb Bath Set and, for pets going by its label, Spa Bath Powder Moisturizing Companion Animal. For fragrance, the listings Forest Village Woody Perfume Bar Set, Flower Garden Perfume Bar Set Diffuser, Baradan Surf Sea Friends Perfume Bar Set, Eau De Toilette Object Perfume Bar Mellow Rosa Garden and Eau De Toilette Object Parfum Bar Pure Neroli all have Perfume Bar in their titles, some in gift sets. The brand also makes household products, which we do not detail here, and Better Than Liquid Travel Kit holds three bars going by its artwork.
