FAQ

We know choosing handcrafted skincare and haircare comes with questions—and we’re here to make it easy. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our ingredients, formulations, ordering, and what to expect when you shop with The Smel Gud Shop.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out. We’re always happy to help—because thoughtful care goes beyond the product.

How long does the soap last?

Our handcrafted soap bars are made with nourishing, plant-based ingredients—so how you use and store them matters. A bar used in the shower will naturally be enjoyed more quickly than one reserved for hand washing. When used at the sink, a bar can last up to two months. In the shower, expect approximately 3–4 weeks of use, depending on frequency.

To get the most out of your Smel Gud soap, use in the burlap bag and allow it to fully dry between uses. Keeping the bar out of direct water contact and placing it on a well-draining soap dish helps preserve its integrity, extend its life, and maintain that rich, creamy lather you love.

What do you use to fragrance your products?

We use thoughtfully selected fragrances derived from nature—sourced from trees, flowers, herbs, and plants—to create scent experiences that feel elevated, comforting, and never overpowering. Each fragrance is chosen to complement our formulations, not compete with them.

All fragrances used in The Smel Gud Shop products are skin-safe, phthalate-free, and carefully blended to align with our commitment to clean, intentional care. Scent is an important part of the experience, and we approach it the same way we approach everything else—with balance, purpose, and respect for your skin.

Are your products vegan?

Many of our products are made with plant-based ingredients, but not everything in our collection is vegan. Our soaps are crafted using a goat’s milk soap base, and our lip balms contain beeswax.

All other ingredients we use throughout the line are plant-based and thoughtfully chosen for quality, performance, and care. We believe in transparency, so each product clearly lists its ingredients to help you choose what best aligns with your needs and values.

If you ever need help identifying vegan-friendly options, we’re always happy to guide you.
