How many ounces are in each bar of soap?

How many ounces are in each bar that comes in the 120 bar set?

Ahh…. the bar weight question again!

When we make our handmade bar soaps they weigh more or less 4.5oz/128g.

We cure the bars on custom made drying racks for a minimum of 28 days. This lowers their water content to 12.5% or about 3.75oz/106g per bar. That is the approximate weight of a fresh bar of our soap.

But let’s say that a particular bar should sit unpackaged in that crate display for a worst case scenario of 14 months. The average weight then would be 3.25oz/92g  In order to stay legal this is the weight we state on our unpackaged bar soap displays.

Although there is some shrinkage over time due to water loss, the size of a bar of soap remains surprisingly consistent. Our bars average 3.25”x2”x1.25” or 8.25cm x 5cm x 3cm

Thanks for asking!
