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.
Many skincare routines are overloaded. Block Zero replaces shampoo, shower gel, and facial cleanser with a soothing, time-tested formula from the region — perfect for minimalists and travelers.
Calendula soothes stressed skin, safflower oil cares for and nourishes, Rügen chalk regulates sebum production, and Sylt salt gently clarifies. Natural essential oil from the local pine tree gives the soap a light, woody fragrance.
One product replaces three — gentle cleaning without compromise.
block zero is a handmade, balancing care soap — designed for those who want a simple, effective and thoroughly sustainable care routine.
Soothes redness, promotes healing and supports the skin's barrier layer.
Rich in linoleic acid, it nourishes dry skin and helps retain moisture.
It binds excess sebum, gently deep cleanses and mineralizes the skin.
It cleanses deep into the pores, has a mild exfoliating effect and regulates the scalp.
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, then massage it into your hair for another 30 seconds.
Rinse with lukewarm water.
After cleansing your skin, we recommend toner 001 and a balm that suits your skin type – discover our simple 3-step skin rest routine.
After washing your hair, we recommend an acidic rinse with apple cider vinegar.
No. Block Zero is not comparable to industrially produced soaps. This handmade cleansing soap is cold-processed and contains safflower oil and natural glycerin, which nourishes the skin after cleansing and does not dry it out.
We use natural essential oils to give this care soap a slightly woody 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.
All our soaps strengthen the skin barrier and support natural regeneration – including our block zero. However, block 002, with its high grapeseed oil content, is even better suited for mature skin.
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.
