Know before you buy
Hinoki cypress is naturally water-resistant and contains oils that help it withstand humid bathroom environments. To ensure longevity, we recommend placing the dish in a spot with good airflow so it can dry out between uses.
The slatted design allows air to circulate underneath the bar and provides efficient drainage. By preventing your soap from sitting in a pool of water, the bar stays firm and avoids turning into a soft, mushy mess.
No special treatment is required. Simply rinse the dish occasionally to remove soap buildup and let it air dry completely.
The wood has a natural, matte texture that provides a secure grip for your soap. The design is specifically engineered to keep the bar in place and prevent it from sliding off the dish.
The wood has a mild, clean, and citrus-like fragrance. While the intensity may soften after the first few weeks, the natural antibacterial properties of the cypress remain effective throughout the life of the product.
