Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but that is not its primary function. What it removes well: Surface dirt, dust, sebum, sweat, light make-up (BB cream, light foundation, powder blush), and water-soluble cosmetic residue. What it does not remove effectively: Waterproof mascara, long-wear lipsticks, heavy or high-coverage oil-free foundations, and waterproof eyeliner. How to proceed in case of heavy make-up: We recommend adopting a double cleansing routine: First step: make-up removal with a specific remover: use a cleansing oil, cleansing milk, or dual-phase make-up remover pads to clean the eyes and lips. Second step: cleansing with the R5 solid bar: it deeply cleans the skin, removing any residue from the make-up remover and rebalancing the skin. This method is widely recommended in cosmetics for a complete cleanse without being harsh on the skin. A single product rarely performs both functions optimally.
Place it in a soap dish that allows water to drain. Solid bars last longer if they are allowed to dry thoroughly between uses.
Yes, the application process is slightly different, but it only takes 2-3 uses to get used to it. A solid cosmetic is a concentrated formula without water (or with a minimal amount). The water that normally makes up 60-80% of a traditional liquid shampoo or shower gel is replaced by shower water: you wet the product, create a lather, apply, and rinse just as you would with a traditional cosmetic. The 3 steps: Activate: run the solid bar under running water or rub it between wet hands until a creamy lather forms. Apply: distribute over wet hair and/or body and massage gently. Rinse and store: rinse thoroughly, then let the solid bar dry in a well-ventilated place or in an open R5 soap dish with drainage. Why "solid" does not mean "less effective": the same concentration of active ingredients you would find in a 250/300 ml bottle is concentrated in a 70 g solid bar. An R5 solid cosmetic lasts for an average of about 60 uses; the duration depends on the frequency of use, hair length, and storage method. Practical tip: after showering, leave the solid bar in a dry and ventilated place. Never leave it submerged in water, even partially, as this accelerates wear and can encourage the buildup of moisture.
What does “dermatologically tested” mean for our solid products?
There are three main reasons, with honesty regarding the trade-offs. 1. Plastic reduction: A 70 g R5 solid bar is equivalent to approximately 60 uses on average and replaces a traditional 250-300 ml bottle. On an annual basis of regular use, at least one plastic bottle is avoided for every solid product purchased. If you multiply this by all the cosmetics in your shower (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face), the overall impact becomes significant over time. 2. Less water transported: Liquid cosmetics contain an average of 60-80% water, an ingredient that has an energy and environmental cost in transport. A solid bar weighs less and takes up less volume. 3. More concentrated ingredients: Without "diluting" water, every gram of the solid bar is richer in functional ingredients (oils, butters, surfactants, extracts). The result is a more concentrated product per unit of weight. The trade-offs to be aware of: A different usage habit: it requires activation with water and dry storage between uses. An initial adjustment: if you are coming from traditional cosmetics containing silicones, the first 2-3 washes may feel different to the touch: this is normal, as your hair is "resetting" without the silicone coating. A seemingly higher price per unit: however, when calculated against the 60 effective uses, the cost per single wash is competitive with premium bottled cosmetics.
