Bars, pouches, tablets and concentrates: how each one works, how to store it and how to dilute it.
01 The four kinds
A refill is one of four things.
A refill can be solid, pourable, dissolvable or concentrated. The label on the one you buy tells you which, and how to use it.
01
A bar
A solid soap, shampoo, conditioner or dish bar. Used on wet hands, a cloth or the hair, and kept dry between uses.
02
A pouch
A liquid or gel refill for a bottle you already own. Poured in, sealed, and kept upright.
03
A tablet
A measured solid that dissolves in water. The label gives the amount of water and the number of tablets.
04
A concentrate
A stronger liquid to dilute before use. Measured against water as the label says, and sealed after mixing.
