FAQ

Regular soap dishes trap water underneath your bars. This beautiful dish does the opposite—it's made from super-absorbent diatomaceous earth that actively pulls moisture away from your bars. The ventilation cutouts allow air to circulate from all sides. Your bars dry completely between washes, which means they'll deliver their full 80 washes instead of turning into a soggy mess halfway through. Think of it as the difference between leaving a sponge in a puddle versus hanging it up to dry.

Yes. This tray is specifically sized for Ethique shampoo bars and conditioner bars, including our updated bar shapes. Two separate sections with engraved labels keep them organized. If you're using bars from another brand, check their dimensions first—this shampoo bar holder is optimized for Ethique's solid haircare.

Wash it weekly in hot soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher. Let it air dry completely before putting your bars back. Diatomaceous earth is durable for everyday bathroom life. But dropping it on tile or hard surfaces can cause cracks. Handle it with a bit of care when moving it around, especially when wet.

Absolutely. This shampoo bar storage tray is designed for humid environments. The self-drying properties work even in steamy showers. Just place it somewhere it won't get hit by direct water spray—a corner shelf works well, or the edge of your tub. The tray handles moisture from your bars and the air, but constant water flow will eventually wear down any material.

This tray isn't technically compostable (clay minerals like silica can't break down further), but you can dispose of it in your garden or plant pot. It will eventually break up and become substrate for plants and microbes. The packaging is home-compostable and recyclable.

Yes!

I like this a lot better than the last one. It's still not perfect since bars still like to stick to it and loses product, but I like that it's faster for drying!

Shampoo Bar Drains

The Haircare Storage Tray is large enough to hold both my shampoo and conditioner bars. I like how the shampoo bar drains well and dries completely.

Works ok, hard to clean

The air vents work as described, but it is hard to remove stuck on soap, even with a stiff brush

Hi Morgan,
Our trays are super-duper absorbent so you might find storing the bars on their side helps them dry out quicker. We would also recommend cleaning your Storage Tray once a week (just with soapy water) and then leaving it to dry out before placing the bars back on - this might help scrub off any stuck residue.

Perfect!

I know have four of these bar savers in my shower because they are SO good. They dry the bars out so effectively and stay clean, too! I hand wash and lightly brush them every two weeks in the sink after hand washing some delicates with wool wash and that has worked great!
