FAQs
How long does a Shower Block last?
The longevity depends on usage frequency and storage. However, each 1kg pack of OFF-CUTS is equivalent to approximately 1.5 standard shower gel bottles, suggesting significant usage time.
Are Shower Blocks suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Shower Blocks are made with 100% natural ingredients, are SLS, SLES & Paraben-free, and are suitable for vegans. However, individual reactions can vary, so patch testing is always recommended if you have extreme sensitivities.
How do I use a solid shower gel bar?
Wet the bar and your skin, then either rub the bar directly onto your skin to create a lather, or use it with a wet washcloth or loofah to build lather, and then wash as usual.
What is the difference between regular bars and OFF-CUTS?
OFF-CUTS are often the trimmed edges from the production of full bars. They offer the same quality and ingredients but may vary slightly in shape and size and are typically sold in larger bulk packs.
Can I travel with Shower Blocks?
Absolutely. Being solid, they are ideal for travel as they don't count as liquids and eliminate the risk of spills.
What kind of fragrances are available?
Shower Blocks offers a wide variety of fragrances designed to suit different moods. Specific fragrance options would be detailed with individual product listings.
Are these soap bars or shower gel bars?
These are solid shower gel bars, designed to provide the cleansing and moisturizing properties of liquid shower gel in a solid, plastic-free format. They are distinct from traditional bar soaps.
Troubleshooting
Shower Block not lathering well
Ensure the bar is adequately wet. Try lathering directly on wet skin or using a damp washcloth. If the bar has dried out completely, it might take a few uses to regain its full lathering ability.
Shower Block is melting or becoming mushy
This indicates it's not drying properly between uses. Use a soap dish with good drainage and ensure it's kept away from direct streams of water in the shower. Allow the bar to dry completely in a cool, dry place.
Skin feels dry after use
While formulated with moisturisers, individual skin types can vary. Ensure you are using the bar correctly and consider if additional body lotion might be beneficial for your specific skin needs.
