These are the bits and pieces that were too small, thin or irregular in shape to cut into a full size or travel size bar. We mix the fragrances from the last several batches and weigh them out so you get at least 10.5 ounces (but always more). A bowl full of soapies will not only look cool, but will also make your bathroom smell great. Also, there will always be a fresh piece for your sink. This is such a great deal that we have a few customers who always purchase these instead of the full sized bars. They go quickly, so we apologize in advance if we are out of stock when you place your order.
