A Solid Soap Paste That Travels With You
Whether you're commuting, flying, or simply stepping out for the day, keeping your hands and body clean without a sink full of liquid soap can be a challenge. Pâte de Savon Iris de Malte from Officine Universelle Buly is a solid soap paste designed to solve exactly that problem. It comes in a compact tube that slips easily into a handbag or beauty case, making it a dependable companion for what the brand calls "vagabond toilettes" — impromptu cleansing wherever you are.
This isn't a bar soap that leaves residue in your bag. The paste is creamy and smooth, and it works well on hands, which particularly appreciate its rich texture. For days when you're home, it can sit beside a sink or bathtub, perched on a faucet stopper (sold separately), ready for everyday washing.

How to Use It for Hands and Body
For hands, wet them slightly, scoop a small amount of paste from the tube, and lather. The creamy consistency spreads easily and rinses clean. For body use during travel, apply directly to damp skin or a washcloth. The tube format means you control the amount, minimizing waste.
At home, the brand suggests placing the tube on a faucet stopper (Bouchon Robinet) to keep it handy for daily washes. This dual-use design — portable and stationary — makes it a versatile addition to any routine.
What to Consider Before Buying
The product is a paste, not a liquid or a traditional bar. If you prefer a foaming gel or a hard soap, the texture may feel different. The scent is Iris de Malte, a floral note that some may find strong, though the brand emphasizes that it's meant to be an enjoyable sensory experience, especially in public restrooms where a pleasant scent can lift your mood.
Because it's a solid paste, it may soften in very warm conditions if left in direct sunlight. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. The tube is colorful and compact, but it doesn't come with a case, so consider how you'll store it in your bag to avoid any transfer.
