How to Store Shampoo Bars

Going low waste is easy, but getting started is often the hardest part.

Maybe you’ve had your eye on some of our unpackaged products for a while, but aren’t sure how to store them between uses, pack them for a trip or even tell them apart on your bathroom counter. We’ve all been there. So we’ve compiled some of our favorite tips and tricks from staff and customers on how to keep naked products clean, dry and uncomplicated.

If you’re committed to a low or zero-waste lifestyle, why not start with an eco-friendly haircare routine? Stop by any of our shops to choose from a selection of packaging-free, naked shampoo bars. Try out Honey I Washed My Hair to cleanse hair without getting rid of too many natural oils or Jumping Juniper for a deep clean and a decongested scalp.

Once you’ve found the shampoo bar that meets your needs, store your bar at home in a reusable Round Tin or a Cork Pot—the world’s first carbon-negative piece of packaging which supports the regeneration of cork-oak forests in Portugal. These accessories are great because they keep your bars dry and protected and can be used over and over again.

How to store conditioner bars

Now that you’ve got your shampoo bar, try a pressed conditioner to leave your hair smelling and feeling great. Give Big a go for volume and shine or get American Cream to soften and hydrate.

Keep your naked, pressed conditioner in tip-top shape with a versatile metal tin, or keep up to six naked products in a beautifully designed Poole Tin. If you’re not sure about shape, design or size stop by your local shop to see what’s best for you.

Care for your shampoo bars and pressed conditioners with a tin or cork container.

How to store soaps and shower bombs

Stay eco-friendly with naked, plastic-free soaps and shower bombs. Don’t let these shower goodies lose their luster in a damp, hot shower after you’re done. We suggest draining shower caddies and soap dishes between uses to allow your naked products to dry out before you hop back in. Our Square Tin can help keep your soaps and shower bombs dry after use. Simply rest the product in an open tin and once your soap or shower bombs shrinks (after several washes) you can pop the lid on for extra protection.

How to store body butters and massage bars

Soothe, hydrate and keep your skin silky smooth without using single-use plastics. Try naked skincare products like Argan to moisturize and calm sensitive facial skin. Or soothe sore muscles all over your body after a workout with After Massage Bar made with soothing magnesium and cooling mint.

Whatever your body needs, rest assured that all our naked skincare products are 100 percent plastic free and made with ethically-sourced ingredients. These butters and bars can be stored in our reusable tin containers as well.

Travel-friendly containers

This is where our tins really shine. Our reusable round, oval and square containers are a great way to keep your plastic-free products sealed and safe—and since they’re solid, you never have to worry about a shampoo explosion in your luggage.

Then, when you get to the hotel, campsite or anywhere else, observe the tips above for keeping them solid on your trip. If you’re camping or at the beach and don’t have anywhere convenient to let your products dry out, an extra towel can be a good way to soak up excess moisture in a flash. Then just put them back in a tin, cork pot or other travel-ready container and you’re on your way.
