Question about lotion bars...

[egerandi]

So the packaging fairy (thanks, Susan!) slipped one in my bag and I got to use it this morning. Oh my! I don't know if it was single use or not, but my skin must have been parched and I just used it all, heh. I can't stop touching my arm

This got me thinking, especially for traveling purposes, how about small single use pieces in foil? Something like the gumball was or maybe a bit smaller: fits in your palm and you can use it as a small barsoap. That way there is no risk of mold if you leave it in the shower because it's all gone, and it's smaller, so you don't have to pack a big bar or container when you travel, overnight, whatnot. Or offer both? I would love to have it as deodorant bar for home and single use cubes for traveling.

I've used my lotion bar & like it a lot. I use it differently than how it was intended, though. I keep mine by the kitchen sink & use it on my damp/wet hands as a hand lotion. I've constantly got my hands in water, & they always need extra-special moisturization, so the bar works well for that.

Really, I guess I could use it in any form, & I'd use any of the previously suggested forms. I would also like to see a container for the bar form, though (plastic, or perhaps a tin similar to what the Chagrin Valley Soap lotion bars come in). Maybe the container could be sold separately (or as an add-on option to the bar), so only those people who want it have to order it (plust it could be re-used), & the lotion bar could just be appropriately shaped to fit in said container.

I would love to see the lotion bars come in a stick form. It would be so much easier to apply Would it be possible to scent these? It really helped to soften my dry areas when used after a shower.

I haven't tried this, but packaging wise a lotion bar or tube stick would be great! If its in bar form it shouldn't be too hard to just slice off a chunk of it for travelling

I would like to put a vote in for a tube or tub of this. I've used it a few times this week and the bar is a little tough to work with. Thanks!

Well, the Mystery Adventure Club package came with a flat squeeze bottle of the more mushy version and i have to say, i liked it better than the bar. It was essentially the exact same product but squeezable and I found it to have a terrific ease of application, i don't have to worry about it melting in my shower, and i found it easy to squeeze (i don't have arthritis, but i do have carpal tunnel and bad cartilage in the joint where my thumb meets the rest of my hand)

that sounds amazing! i'd snap that up for sure! i found the bar to be soooo moisturizing, but not greasy and really lasting. i am not in the MAC so didnt get the new version. karen, hopefully you will put this one up for sale soon!

I was going to say that now that I have experienced the squeeze bottle version, I definitely would order it again.

ZMG! I've been lurking, but had to register to comment on this.

I would love love love a lotion BAR, WITHOUT beeswax in it. I use them in the shower all the time and love them. I store mine in a regular closable cheap plastic soap dish that I drilled two holes into the bottom of to keep water from making a pool.

I can't manage a tube some mornings because of my hands. Lotion bars are one of my must have products to manage my dry skin.

My youngest daughter uses them with every shower too.

hi hoyden *waves*
i just wanted to say that BOTH options would be great! although i said i'd like the tube, i forgot to mention that i really liked the bar form as well. i had never used a bar-type lotion before and really liked the experience. it was actually much nicer in the cold weather to be able to stay in the warm shower!
