FAQ

With so many fragrant and cheerful choices, it's hard to choose, we understand ;-) If you don't know which variety of Bar to choose, look at the scent, ingredients and product features. For example, you can choose a Shampoo Bar that suits your hair type.

Make sure that the Bars you use in the shower (Shampoo-, Body Wash-, Conditioner- and Shaving Bars) are always drained outside the shower after use. This way your Bars have the longest life. Bars that are used outside the shower (for example the Body Lotion Bar) are best kept in a cool and dry place.

Don't be surprised if your Conditioner- or Body Lotion Bar is delivered 'hard'. That is how we produce these bars - this says nothing about the quality. To make them liquid, you only have to warm them up. Between your hands and/or in the shower. Check the packaging for the exact instructions of use of your Bar.

Because our Bars contain no polluting plastic packaging or water. Only the active ingredients of a traditional plastic care product. Plastic is simply not needed to make a good product. Also the Bars contain no palm oil, are completely vegan and are lovingly hand-made in the Netherlands. And besides, one Bar always equals 3 to 4 plastic bottles. So a Bar is better for you and the planet.

A plastic-free HappySoaps Bar always lasts longer than the plastic alternative. This is partly because traditional personal care products often consist of 80% water, which is not the case with our products. This not only saves unnecessary volume and therefore CO2 emissions during transport, but it also ensures that HappySoaps products are much more concentrated.

The exact life span varies per bar, but on average you can use it for 3 to 4 months. This equals at least 3-4 traditional shampoo bottles! On average, one Bar equals 90-110 washes. How long you use it exactly, depends on how and how much you use at a time.

In most plastic care products, a lot of water is added. For example, a plastic shampoo bottle consists of 80% water! As a customer, you only get ~20% active ingredients, the rest is water. You are paying for the water to be carried around. We do it differently - we do not add water to our Bars. We only use the active ingredients. We press (or mix) them together into a solid product. The end result is a super-concentrated, wonderfully smelling Bar. In this way, one Bar always equals several plastic bottles.

Good question! Switching to plastic-free personal care products can take some getting used to. Especially if you are used to traditional plastic products. At HappySoaps we do not add water to our products. This way we make happy Bars which are super concentrated and equal to several plastic bottles. A more concentrated product can take some getting used to at the beginning. You have to use less, in a different way. Experiment with what works best for you. And bear in mind that there is always an 'adjustment period'; it takes a while for your body or hair to get used to our natural care product. But, once you get used to it, you won't want to do anything else! We promise ;-)

Our products are packed with natural ingredients. We do not use parabens in our products. They are not necessary, as every HappySoaps product has a long shelf life. The mild sulphates we use are made from coconut.

Yes! In addition to the fact that our products are completely vegan, we believe it is important that the products are free of animal testing. HappySoaps consists of a small and enthusiastic team. Within our team, we test our products ourselves. After all, you can't sell products you don't use yourself! We also regularly receive help with testing from cheerful HappySoaps customers.

Yes, all products are fully biodegradable. One of the most important aspects of making our own products in the Netherlands: knowing exactly what goes into them. This is how we choose our own ingredients. The use of biodegradable ingredients is one of the most important pillars of ingredient sourcing.
