Shipping Duration
We intentionally don’t work with large e-commerce logistics centers. Instead, all orders are processed locally in collaboration with a workplace for people with disabilities at Stiftung Mensch. Because of this, our shipping may not arrive the next day, as you might be used to from large corporations.
Within Germany, parcels are usually delivered within 2–3 working days. Shipments to other countries may take up to 7 days, depending on the destination.
In all cases, you will receive a tracking code to follow the status of your order.
block 002 combines the pure power of saponified plant oils with fast-absorbing grapeseed oil — for a cleansed, nourished skin feeling without loss of elasticity.
Maintaining the lipid barrier is crucial for mature skin – without it, the skin becomes increasingly unable to retain moisture. Block 002 doesn't rely on degreasing during cleansing, but rather on immediate, natural replenishment through nourishing oils: for gentle cleansing without weakening the skin.
Grapeseed oil is a particularly light, finely absorbent plant oil, ideal for cleansing and caring for facial skin. It is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that strengthens the skin's natural barrier and helps retain moisture without clogging pores. At the same time, it contains antioxidant plant compounds such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which protect the skin from free radicals and leave it feeling supple and smooth. In natural soap, some of these nourishing lipids are retained through superfatting and form a fine protective film on the skin during washing. This allows the soap to cleanse thoroughly without drying out the skin – leaving it feeling clear, soft, and balanced instead of tight.
Morning and evening facial cleansing
For sensitive skin – soap in the evening, only clear water in the morning.
Also suitable for showering
Moisten hands, lather a bar of soap between your palms.
Apply creamy foam to face, massage gently, avoiding eyes.
Rinse with lukewarm water.
Ideally, toner 001 and a balm suitable for your skin condition should follow – our simple 3-step skin rest routine.
No. Block 002 is not comparable to industrially produced soaps. This handmade cleansing soap is cold-processed and contains grapeseed oil and natural glycerin, which nourishes the skin after cleansing and does not dry it out.
We use natural essential oils with citrus notes to give this care soap a gentle, fresh scent.
With daily use, between 30 days and 3 months – depending on whether you also shower with the soap or only use it on your face.
Yes — we recommend a soap dish where the soap can dry completely and isn't sitting in residual water. Check out our soap holder in the Accessories category for ideal storage.
Yes, we only package our soaps in minimalist cardboard boxes.
For best results, we recommend using our 3-step routine as is. Using too many products at once can disrupt the skin's natural balance. If you look at the ingredient lists of conventional skincare products, you'll often find complex formulas with many ingredients that overwhelm the skin rather than support it – even in natural cosmetics.
Our philosophy is the opposite: as little as possible, as pure as necessary. Give your skin space to regulate itself with a few, clear raw materials.
Of course you can still use make-up: Our balm is a very good base for make-up and in the evening the soap gently and thoroughly cleanses your skin.
Yes. Mature skin primarily needs lipids, rest, and protection – not aggressive cocktails of active ingredients. Our soaps strengthen the skin barrier and support natural regeneration.
Yes, generally speaking. Pure, natural ingredients reduce irritation and give the skin time to stabilize itself. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, we recommend testing our products first on the inside of your elbow and then on a small area of your face.
For makeup, we recommend first cleansing with a moistened pad onto which you apply 3-4 drops of our balm. Then follow with soap, toner 001, and, if necessary, a second application of the balm as usual.
The fragrance comes exclusively from the natural raw materials and essential oils themselves – that's why it's gentle, authentic, and never overpowering. Our scents accompany you during application and then quickly dissipate. They are skincare with active ingredients, not perfume. Because we work with natural plant oils and harvests, fragrance nuances may vary slightly. Each batch is unique.
