Product Review by Thabiso Ntsimane

So, I recently got this moisturizing bar with rosemary and I've got some thoughts! The buchu is just amazing it makes my skin feel so refreshed and clean it's like a gentle hug for your face :) The rosemary adds such a calming touch it's like having a mini spa at home!

But just being honest it took me a couple of tries to get used to it the scent is quite different but now I'm totally into it. My skin feels softer and it’s definitely less oily which is a big thumbs up for me! Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Just be ready for that initial herbal kick 😅

Overall I’d give it a solid 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It’s a nice little luxury for every day. xoxo

Decent Moisturising Bar with a Hint of Nature

I've been using this moisturiser with buchu and rosemary for a couple of weeks now. It's alright for keeping my skin from getting too dry especially in the winter months here in Johannesburg. The scent is quite herbal which I don't mind it's subtle. After using it my skin feels smoother not greasy at all. Buchu is a nice touch reminds me of home somehow :) Wouldn't say it's life changing but it does the job well enough.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear that the Buchu & Rosemary Moisturising Blok is helping keep your skin smooth and hydrated during the winter months. It's wonderful that the subtle herbal scent and the touch of Buchu bring a sense of home to you. We truly appreciate your support and hope it continues to be a comforting addition to your skincare routine. Warm regards!

Frequently
Asked
Questions

How to use a lotion bar?
  1. Start with clean, dry skin
    For best results, apply your lotion bar after a shower or bath when your skin is warm and dry. This helps the natural oils absorb more effectively.

  2. Warm the bar between your hands
    Hold the solid lotion bar between your palms for a few seconds. Your body heat will soften the surface, allowing it to glide smoothly across your skin.

  3. Glide directly onto skin
    Rub the bar directly onto areas that need moisture — like arms, legs, elbows, heels, or anywhere feeling dry. The nourishing butters and oils will melt on contact, leaving a silky layer behind.

  4. Massage in the moisture
    Use your hands to gently massage the lotion into your skin. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and the botanical ingredients like Buchu oil help to soothe and balance.

  5. Reapply as needed
    Use daily or whenever your skin needs a boost. It’s especially great in dry weather, after sun exposure, or before bed for overnight nourishment.

  6. Store in a cool, dry place
    Keep your lotion bar in a tin or on a dish, away from heat or direct sunlight, to maintain its shape and texture. It’s perfect for travel or keeping in your bag for moisture on the go.
How is this different from a regular lotion?

Traditional lotions are up to 80% water and packaged in plastic. Ours is solid, waterless and waste-free, packed with skin-loving butters and oils for deep, long-lasting hydration.

What skin types is this suitable for?

All skin types; even sensitive. Our ingredients are chosen to calm, soothe and hydrate without irritation.

Can I use this on my face?

Yes, though it’s designed primarily for body use. If you have sensitive or acne-prone facial skin, we recommend patch testing first as it’s richer than a typical face cream.

Is it scented?

Yes, but never overpowering. We use essential oils and botanical extracts, not synthetic fragrances. The scent is gentle and skin-safe.

How to store lotion bar?

To keep your solid moisturiser bar in perfect condition, it’s best to store it somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight. A well-ventilated soap dish, tin, or reusable container works perfectly; especially one that allows any moisture to drain away between uses. This prevents your bar from going soft or melting prematurely.

If you’re travelling or storing it long-term, let the bar dry completely before popping it into a sealed container or wrap it in wax paper. Avoid leaving it in the shower or near running water, as it can absorb moisture and lose its firmness. With the right care, your moisturiser bar will stay fresh, solid, and ready to nourish your skin to the very last swipe.
