Ordering & Shipping
When will my order ship?
Most orders for our handmade products ship within 1–2 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. Transit time depends on your destination and the shipping method you select. You’ll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking once your order is on its way.
Where do you ship?
We ship within the United States and to eligible international destinations. Enter your delivery address at checkout to see whether shipping is available, along with the available methods and rates.
How much does shipping cost? Do you offer free shipping?
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your order and destination. Any qualifying free-shipping offer will be shown in your cart or at checkout. See our Shipping Policy for more information.
How can I track my order?
Use the tracking link in your shipping confirmation email. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking to update after shipment. If you can’t find the email, check your spam folder or contact us with your order number.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Email sales@prohibitionsoap.com as soon as possible with your order number and the change you need. We’ll help if the order hasn’t been processed or shipped, but changes aren’t guaranteed. Please double-check your shipping address before placing your order.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest. Keep your order confirmation email so you can find your order number, tracking, and any subscription-management links.
Returns & Order Help
What does your 100% satisfaction guarantee cover?
We want you to be happy with what you buy from us. If a product isn’t working out, contact sales@prohibitionsoap.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and what went wrong. We’ll work with you on a replacement or refund. Please contact us before sending anything back.
What if I don’t like a scent?
Scent is personal. If the one you chose isn’t for you, contact us within 30 days of delivery. We can help with a different scent, a replacement, or a refund. Tell us what you liked or disliked so we can help you find a better match.
What if something arrives damaged, incorrect, or missing?
Email sales@prohibitionsoap.com with your order number and a description of the problem. For damage or an incorrect item, include clear photos of the product and packaging. Please reach out promptly, within 30 days of delivery, so we can arrange a replacement or another appropriate solution.
How do approved returns work?
Contact us for approval before mailing a return. Voluntary returns must meet our return requirements, including being unused, in their original packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase. The return-label cost is $7. Pack everything securely: we can only refund or replace returned items that reach us in good condition. Satisfaction concerns and damaged deliveries should be reported to us first so we can arrange the right solution. See our Refund Policy for the full requirements and exclusions.
When will I receive an approved refund?
Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 10 business days. Your bank or card provider may take additional time to post the credit. If more than 15 business days have passed since approval, contact us so we can check on it.
Bar Soap & Ingredients
Is your soap handmade? Is it all cold process?
Yes, we make our bar soaps by hand. Our range includes both cold-process soaps and soaps made with a melt-and-pour base. They’re different methods, so check the individual product page for that bar’s ingredients and details.
What does small batch mean? Why does my bar look different from the photo?
We make our soaps in small batches, and every bar is unique. Swirls, color placement, and the appearance of a hand-cut bar can vary from batch to batch. The product photo shows the design, but your bar will have its own details.
How long will a bar last, and how can I make it last longer?
That depends on how often you use it and how you store it. Let your bar drain and dry between uses, and keep it out of standing water and the direct shower stream. A draining soap dish helps keep it from sitting in water and softening unnecessarily.
Are all your products natural?
Ingredients vary by product. We use ingredients such as plant oils and butters, and many of our scents use fragrance oils. Some products also contain colorants or other ingredients needed for their formula. Read the full ingredient list on the product page to decide whether it fits your preferences.
What should I choose if I have sensitive skin or ingredient allergies?
Start with the full ingredient list and check it against anything you know you react to. A fragrance-free option may be a useful starting point, but natural or fragrance-free doesn’t mean a product will suit everyone. Contact us about a specific ingredient before ordering if you need help.
Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?
Some are vegan, and others contain ingredients such as beeswax or yogurt. Check the individual ingredient list rather than assuming the entire range is vegan. We don’t test our finished products on animals. If you’re unsure about a particular item, ask us before ordering.
How should I store products I’m not using yet?
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep jar and bottle lids closed between uses, and follow any storage instructions on the product page or label. For a shelf-life question about a specific product, contact us rather than relying on one expiration window for the entire store.
Will a sold-out One-Shot Soap come back?
A One-Shot Soap is a limited batch, usually just 27 bars. We haven’t remade a One-Shot, so don’t count on a restock once it sells out. See what’s currently available in One-Shot Soaps & Holiday Gifts.
Beard & Mustache Care
What’s the difference between beard oil, balm, and butter?
Beard oil conditions your beard and the skin beneath it without styling hold. Beard balm combines conditioning with medium hold to help control flyaways. Beard butter provides richer conditioning with shea and mango butters, with the focus on softness rather than styling hold. Choose based on what your beard needs; you don’t have to use all three.
How much hold does your mustache wax provide?
Our mustache wax offers medium hold for everyday grooming and keeping stray hairs in place. It isn’t an extreme-hold wax intended for elaborate handlebar styling.
How do I choose a scent when the name doesn’t tell me much?
Read the scent notes on the product page. Names such as Soldati, Capodecina, Made Man, Enforcer, and The Gentleman describe cologne-style scents, but each has its own profile. If you want help choosing or pairing scents, tell us which fragrances or scent notes you already enjoy and which you avoid.
Is beard wash the same as your other liquid soaps?
No. Our beard wash has its own formula for cleansing facial hair, including removing the oils, balms, butters, and wax used in a grooming routine. It’s separate from our liquid hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and foaming hand soap.
My beard butter melted or feels grainy. How do I fix it?
Our natural butter blend can melt in warm weather. For best results, fully melt it by placing the glass jar in a hot water bath, stir well, then freeze it for 30–60 minutes until solid. Let it sit at room temperature overnight before using. Contact us if you need help with your jar.
Body Care & Home Fragrance
What’s the difference between lotion and Daily Body Cream?
Lotion is the lighter option for everyday conditioning. Daily Body Cream has a thicker, richer texture when you want a heavier cream. Choose the feel you prefer and check each product’s ingredient list.
Are the all-natural liquid soap, shower gel, and shampoo different formulas?
They share the same formula, including an organic base and organic aloe vera. The difference is the packaging and bottle tops for how you’ll use them. Our foaming hand soap and beard wash are separate formulas. Browse the liquid soap, shower gel, and shampoo range for the available scents and sizes.
How do I use your sugar scrubs?
Massage gently over your body in circular motions before or during your shower, then rinse. Our sugar scrubs are intended for body use, not facial use. Follow the directions for the particular scrub you choose.
What’s the difference between wax melts and Smelly Jelly?
Wax melts release fragrance when heated in a suitable wax warmer. Smelly Jelly releases fragrance without heat, flame, or electricity and works well in smaller spaces. Follow the directions for your chosen product and, for wax melts, your warmer.
Can I refresh Smelly Jelly when it dries out?
Yes. Add distilled water, close the lid, and shake briefly to help rehydrate it, then reopen it for use. Use distilled water only. Keeping the lid closed while you aren’t using it helps slow drying.
Subscriptions, Packs & Discounts
How do I subscribe and save?
On a participating product’s page, choose the subscription option and your delivery schedule before adding it to your cart. The discount and recurring price are shown with that option. A regular one-time purchase doesn’t enroll you in a subscription.
Can I change or cancel my subscription?
Yes. Use the management link in your subscription emails or open the subscription portal to access your subscription. You can change or cancel your recurring order there. If a renewal has already processed, contact us promptly for help with that order.
How do product packs work?
Where available, choose the pack option on the product page before adding it to your cart. The selected option shows the quantity, price, and any savings. A pack is for that product and scent unless the listing explicitly says you can choose a mix. Pack availability and discounts vary by product.
Do you offer a military or first-responder discount?
Eligible customers can verify through GOVX ID. You’ll find the GOVX option on the full cart page. Follow the verification steps and the instructions for using your discount at checkout. Eligibility and offer terms are shown through GOVX.
Gifts & Wholesale
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. Our digital gift cards are delivered by email and include a code to redeem at checkout. They don’t expire. You can forward the gift-card email to your recipient.
Can you include a gift message or help with a gift order?
Add your message or request in the order notes, or contact us before ordering if you need something specific. We’ll do our best to help. For special packaging or a time-sensitive gift, please check with us first so we can confirm what’s possible.
Do you accept wholesale, corporate gift, or larger-order inquiries?
Yes. Email sales@prohibitionsoap.com with the products, quantities, and timing you have in mind. We’ll discuss availability and options for your shop, event, or gift order.
