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 003 is a carefully crafted, handcrafted cleansing soap with a high shea butter content from sustainable wild harvesting. It gently cleanses, replenishes the skin's natural oils, and strengthens the skin barrier. Suitable for dry, irritated skin and for dry, lifeless hair that needs shine and manageability.
Thanks to its nourishing formula, you can replace shower gel, facial cleanser, shampoo and body lotion.
Ideal for anyone with dry or reactive skin, for parents and expectant parents looking for safe basic care for themselves and their children, and for anyone wanting to switch from synthetic shower gel, aggressive shampoos and complexly formulated creams to a pure, skin-friendly routine.
We deliberately use only a few, tried-and-tested oils in this soap – no perfumes, no preservatives, no unnecessary additives. The result: less irritation, long-lasting moisture, and visibly smoother skin and hair.
It is a natural lipid bundle: it supplies the skin with essential fatty acids, penetrates deeply and strengthens the skin barrier.
Provides a moisturizing effect: cleanses without drying out.
Provides creamy, gentle lather — ideal for washing hair.
Morning and evening facial cleansing
For showering and hair washing as needed
Moisten hands, lather a bar of soap between your palms.
Apply creamy foam to face and body, massage gently, avoiding eyes.
For washing your hair, rub the soap directly onto your hair, scalp, and beard. Lather the soap vigorously with wet hands for 30 seconds and then massage it into your hair for another 30 seconds.
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 003 is not comparable to industrially produced soaps. This handmade cleansing soap is cold-processed and contains plenty of shea butter and olive oil, as well as natural glycerin, which nourishes the skin after cleansing and does not dry it out.
This soap has a gentle shea scent.
With daily use, between 30 days and 3 months – depending on whether you also shower and wash your hair with the soap or only use it for 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.
Shea butter may be too rich for very oily, acne-prone skin. Our target group is dry and sensitive skin types; here, shea butter has a protective and soothing effect. For blemishes and clogged pores, we recommend block 001.
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.
Yes — the mild, pure formula is well-suited for sensitive children's skin. However, be careful to keep the soap away from the eyes. For newborns, we recommend adding only 2-3 drops of pure almond oil to the bathwater and generally avoiding cleansers to prevent disturbing the developing skin microbiome.
