All our soaps weigh in at a hefty 160-170gm chunk. Best thing to do (for easy handling) is chop a bar in half and save one half for later! Our soaps retain their natural glycerine (unlike most commercial soaps) so are less drying to the skin- but lets be clear- they are still soap! They won't dry you out, but they won't moisturise you either! We're good.. but we're not that good!
