Great Face Wash, Not Enough Structural Integrity

I was hesitant to switch to a new face wash with sensitive combination skin, but this one has far exceeded my expectations! My skin has not broken out, gone dry, or felt too oily. HiBar products are amazing all around and it is great to eliminate one more plastic bottle from my daily routine. My one and only complaint is that this face wash loses any structural integrity after it gets wet (I keep it out of the shower and on a soap dish as recommended with any bar product). As someone who travels a fair amount, this has been a huge struggle because it usually ends up being mushy on my soap holder and I feel like I lose product. The first bar face wash I received this wasn't as big of an issue, but it has seemed to get worse with each one I have purchased. Please fix this! Otherwise would be a 5-star product.

Good product. Hard to use

I bought five of these from the grocery market after one bar helped my skin calm down. Unfortunately they melt and become a hard to use glob of mess which greatly shortens usable life. I have mine in a draining tray and it just falls through the drain holes. I will use what i have left but won’t be buying this again

Hi Pas, thank you for reaching out and sharing your honest thoughts. We have re-formulated the Cleanse face wash to make it a bit firmer, and I think that should help with the issues you are dealing with. I apologize for the experience! It does look like the team is already helping you via email and sending you new replacements. Please us know if you have any questions and we are sorry again, and are confident that the new formula will work much better for you!

Love the product, shape needs work

I got the bar early July I think and I’ve only used it a couple times because I’m using up an old bottle of cleanser. I brought it one two trips and it’s falling apart on me which is frustrating but I really enjoy the product. I can’t wait for it once the kinks are straightened out. Maybe a shape closer to the shampoo bars or something, I think it’s falling apart and mushing so easily because it’s thinner than the other bars too.

Nice, but soft

I really like this face wash--that it's plastic-free, the way it cleans gently without making my skin feel dry--but, as others have mentioned, it's very, very soft. I bought it just a month or so ago, but maybe I still received an old formula? I'm not sure. Anyway, I really like it, but I try not to handle it so much since it feels like it's going to melt in my hands.

HiBAR

Mary, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the face wash! We're so happy to hear that your skin feels great after using the bar. We are working on tweaking the formulation slightly, to make it a bit firmer and keep its shape better. Please feel free to reach out directly so we can get you on a list for when that's available!

  • Q: How were these bars formulated? 

    In developing these natural skin care products, we took a high end gentle amino acid-based face wash formula meant for a bottle, meant to be a liquid, and worked with it for over a year to make it a solid bar.

  • Q: Do your face wash bars contain fragrance? 

    No, all 3 facial bars are fragrance-free. Based on our studies we discovered that most users did not want a fragrance in their face washes.

  • Q: What is the pH level of your face wash?

    The pH is between 4.5 and 5.5, matching your skin's pH level.

  • Q: Can I use Renew as a daily face wash?

    Renew is a gentle exfoliating skin care face wash. It is recommended to be used a few times a week, just as you would any exfoliating face wash.

  • Q: Is ALL HiBAR packaging recyclable?

    Yes. In fact it's compostable as well. And we use plant-based inks. Our shipping materials are also either compostable, recyclable or biodegradable, including any packing tape or product protection. If it arrived in plastic, it did not come from us!

  • Q: Is HiBAR compostable?

    Our plastic free deodorant container is made from cardboard and is curbside compostable. They do compost and can be done at home, just like regular compost. But, if you are using the compost dirt to grow food, it’s probably best to use compost material like food scraps and other food grade, food by product material. You can compost our packaging to turn it back to the earth and use it as a filler somewhere.
