Tróia natural cork soap dish

I make the Tróia soap dish by hand from Portuguese natural cork, for solid soap in the bathroom or kitchen. Its square shape and six grooves support drying between uses, preserving the natural markings and texture of each piece.

Material and characteristics

• Portuguese natural cork, worked by hand.
• Suitable for soap measuring up to 6 × 6 cm.
• Natural wax finish.
• Reusable, with natural variations in colour, texture and porosity.

Cork is a 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable raw material, harvested without felling the cork oak. Its lightness makes the soap dish practical for everyday use, and the piece can be reused by following the care instructions.

Laboratory studies have observed antibacterial activity in cork samples. These findings about the material do not constitute antibacterial certification of this soap dish or replace cleaning and drying between uses.

At the end of the piece’s life, also take its natural wax finish and any other components into account.

Approximate dimensions

L × W × H: 8.5 × 8.5 × 1.5 cm (3.35 × 3.35 × 0.59").

Dimensions may vary slightly due to hand-making.

Use and care

The six grooves help reduce contact between the soap and accumulated moisture and support drying between uses.

Remove soap residue and clean with a dry cloth. Leave to dry naturally in a ventilated place, away from sunlight and heat sources. The cork may naturally change in tone with use.
