Frequently Asked Questions
What do the soap bars smell like, and how strong is the fragrance?
▼
The scents vary across the collection, from fresh, botanical and herbal notes to warmer, richer fragrances. Fragrance strength and character can also vary between soaps, so we recommend checking the individual product description for its specific scent notes before choosing. If you are buying for someone else or prefer a more understated fragrance, the product information can help you find a scent profile that feels most suitable.
Are these soap bars suitable for sensitive skin?
▼
Suitability will depend on the individual soap, as ingredients and fragrance levels vary between formulations. Some bars may contain gentle or moisturising ingredients, while others can include essential oils, fragrance or exfoliating ingredients that may not suit every skin type. If you have sensitive skin, allergies or a known fragrance sensitivity, check the ingredients and product information carefully before use rather than relying on terms such as ‘natural’ alone.
How long does a soap bar last, and how can I stop it going soft?
▼
How long a soap bar lasts depends on its size, how often it is used and how it is stored. You can check the weight or size on the individual product page to help compare different bars. To help your soap last longer, allow it to dry properly between uses and keep it away from standing water. Keeping the bar in a clean, dry place between uses can help prevent it from softening and wearing away too quickly.
Are La Gent soap bars suitable for gifting?
▼
