I might buy some unscented offcuts, not a fan of strong essential oil smells on my hands. Since coronavirus started I've been using bars because liquid soap really irritated my skin after handwashing so many times per day.

Maybe I will find out what's in the box after all!! Random soap - a new line in randomness.

That’s brilliant. Thanks veggie. I might get some . I was thinking splitting a box and dressing them up eco style, for Christmas & birthday presents. As well as using them myself.

Mine have been despatched - arriving tomorrow!! If you wait until then I can confirm what they're like.
Great idea for presents, SC. Maybe in a "soap saver bag" that you could make - the company sell one on their main page.

Just my luck. The Soap offcuts have had a price change - they're all £7.95 a box - yesterday the perfumed soap and shampoo bars were £9.75 - the unscented and shaving soaps were £6. If I'd waited until today I would have saved £1.65!! That's a few bars of soap.

My order from non plastic beach has arrived today. It all smells lovely. I’ll let you know what it’s all like once I started using it. 4 soaps , a shampoo & conditioner bars and cotton buds. I been using the wooden cotton buds for a couple of years but not from this company.

They look fantastic. They should keep you going to a couple of weeks

The hardest part is deciding which to try first!
I've bagged up the perfumed ones in gauze gift bags with their labels and put one in my sock and underwear drawers, hung one in the wardrobe and one in the airing cupboard.
The unfragranced soaps are in the kitchen and the shampoo bars in the bathroom and airing cupboard.
Years ago I got into the habit of unwrapping soap bars and letting them harden off in the air - to make them last longer. These may last long enough anyway!!
I'm really please with them - though the proof of the pudding will be using them.
