Frequently asked questions

Something you're wondering about?

Jepp! Vi bruker ingen ingredienser som er testet på dyr, stammer fra dyr, eller er utvunnet fra dyr.
One question we often get is: “Why remove the water from the product just to add it back later?”

The answer is simple: liquid hand soap typically contains up to 95% water.
That makes it bulky and heavy – which increases emissions during transport, and means you end up paying for unnecessary shipping and packaging.

Elico’s lightweight refill tablets reduce both volume and weight by up to 98%, significantly lowering carbon emissions and reducing the need for single-use plastic and excess packaging. On top of that, you can store a whole year’s worth of soap in a single drawer ✨
Absolutely! Our soaps work with any dispenser that has a foam pump. Unfortunately, a regular soap dispenser will not work.

We recommend using Elico products within 24 months.
Once a tablet has been dissolved in water, the soap should ideally be used within 3 months for the best experience.
98% of the ingredients in Elico refills are naturally sourced.

The water temperature is the most important factor affecting the dissolution time of the hand soap tablet.
Recommendation: Use lukewarm water (~60°C / 140°F), and the tablet will dissolve in 10–20 minutes.
Cold water (~20°C / 68°F): Can take up to 40 minutes.
To speed up the dissolution, stir with a spoon.
Note: Do not use boiling water or shake the dispenser bottle while the tablet is dissolving. This can cause pressure buildup in the bottle, leading to spills.
