Solid cosmetics are water-free cosmetics. The chemical load is significantly lightened by choosing solid cosmetics, because the products do not need preservatives or chemicals that improve shelf life or structure. Natural bar shampoos, facial soaps, bar soaps and lotion bars are easy and light to carry when traveling and they last significantly longer than liquid cosmetics. Water-free cosmetics do not need complicated packaging around them and therefore they are also the choice of nature lovers.
