I love this soap! It exfoliates gently and is made using upcycled coffee. It comes in easily recyclable paper packaging and the scents are great. They feel very luxurious for washing hands and are a product I love to gift others. My hands are always soft and refreshed after using this soap. I highly recommend trying some out

I bought a bar of soap at a local shop out of curiosity and fell in love. The soaps have a wonderful scent and the coffee grounds provide a gentle abrasive for a satisfying clean. Receiving a note with what coffee shop the grounds come was a also a nice surprise.

Questions, answered

Does it smell like coffee?

Just a hint of coffee when you use the scrub side. Mostly you'll smell the scent you picked.

Is it messy? Will it clog my drain?

The grounds come off a little at a time and rinse away with the water. If you have old pipes or a septic tank, a simple drain catcher helps.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes, gently. Every face is different, so test a small spot first.

Which side do I use when?

Use the scrub side for elbows, knees, heels and dull skin. Use the smooth side for everything else.

How long does a bar last?

About a month of daily showers. Keep it dry between uses.

What's in it?

Coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, upcycled espresso grounds, phthalate-free fragrance.

Is it really plastic-free?

Yes. Each bar comes in a kraft paper box, with no plastic in the box.
