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.

Waste of soap sticking to the tray & soap residue. Hard to clean, material breaks down quickly.

I wanted to like this so much, but it's just not practical for daily use in the shower. The material dries quickly and draws moisture from your soap bars which sounds great in theory, but in reality this means it also draws in a lot of soap residue and causes your soap to stick and break off a little when you try to use it next time. I think I lose a lot more soap from my bar from using this tray than just using a regular ceramic dish w/ a drain spout.

The grooves in between the actual drain holes collects a lot of soap scum and is impossible to clean. It's only been 2 months since I got this. A few weeks in while trying to scrape off some soap residue, some of the black material scraped off with it...a couple times when I unstuck my bars from it, I found black residue from this tray stuck to the bottom of my bar. Running it through the dishwasher does not really get much of the soap residue off. And who wants to wash and baby this thing every single week? This thing is frankly a bit ridiculous and high maintenance. It's just a soap dish. There's more important things to spend time on in your life. Just get a ceramic dish with a drain spout.

Great product!

Works well and doesn't require a lot of extra cleaning. Much better than leaving bars on metal shower caddy.

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.
