MINIMALIST MAGNETIC SOAP HOLDER: THE DISCREET WAY TO KEEP SOLID SOAP DRY

A no-drill, no-packaging bathroom accessory made in France to help solid soaps last longer.

The Chamarrel minimalist magnetic soap holder is a small bathroom accessory with a very practical purpose: keeping solid soap dry between uses. Compact, discreet and easy to install, it holds the bar in a suspended position, away from wet soap dishes, damp sink edges and shower shelves where water tends to collect.

The result is simple: the soap dries faster, stays cleaner, does not stick to a dish, does not melt into a puddle and lasts longer. The holder frees up space around the sink or shower and makes solid soap much more pleasant to use every day.

Made in France, sold loose and without packaging, this magnetic soap holder fits naturally into a zero waste bathroom routine. It supports the switch to solid soap, solid shampoo and plastic-free body care by making storage cleaner, easier and more durable.

Why choose a magnetic soap holder for solid soap?

Solid soap needs to dry properly between uses. This is the key to keeping it firm, clean, economical and comfortable to handle.

When a bar sits in a wet soap dish or on a surface where water stagnates, it softens. It can become sticky, lose its shape, leave marks and dissolve faster than necessary. Part of the soap is then wasted before it has even been used.

A magnetic soap holder solves this everyday problem in a very direct way: the soap does not rest on any surface. A stainless steel capsule is pushed into the bar, then held by the powerful magnet integrated into the suction cup.

Air can circulate around the soap. Drying becomes quicker, more complete and far more effective than with a conventional soap dish.

A floating soap effect, with no standing water

The main advantage of a magnetic soap holder is the floating soap effect. The bar seems to hover on the wall, next to the sink, in the shower or by the bathtub.

This suspended storage helps prevent:

• standing water;
• deposits in a soap dish;
• soap marks around the sink;
• soft, slippery or mushy soap;
• unnecessary product loss;
• frequent cleaning of a soap dish;
• clutter around the water point.

The bar dries on all sides at the same time. It stays firmer, cleaner and more pleasant to use. Because it wears down more slowly, you replace it less often and reduce waste.

A minimalist soap holder that almost disappears

The Chamarrel magnetic soap holder is intentionally discreet. The suction cup is small, the support is almost invisible, and the soap itself becomes the visible element.

At only 12 grams, with a suction cup measuring 3.5 cm in diameter, it fades into the background. The result is simple, elegant and highly functional.

This minimalist design works in many bathroom styles: a family shower, a guest washroom, a small bathroom, a contemporary bathroom, a spa-style space or a zero waste bathroom.

No drilling, no glue and easy to move

The minimalist magnetic soap holder is fixed with a magnetic suction cup. It requires no drilling, no screws and no glue.

It can be installed on a clean, smooth, dry, non-porous surface, such as:

• glass;
• a mirror;
• smooth tiles;
• a washbasin;
• a bathtub;
• a smooth shower screen;
• an enamelled surface.

This no-drill installation is ideal for rented homes, for avoiding damage to tiles, or for moving the holder if your bathroom layout changes. Before final installation, it is recommended to test the surface with any suction cup.

For the shower, sink or bathtub

The magnetic soap holder is especially useful in the shower, where moisture often makes solid soap wear down faster. Installed away from the direct water jet, on a smooth and well-ventilated surface, it helps the bar dry more quickly after each use.

Next to the sink, it prevents soap residue, keeps the surface tidy and makes handwashing easier. Children often enjoy the suspended soap because it is easy to grab and satisfying to place back on the magnet.

By the bathtub, it frees up space and prevents bars of soap from sitting in water.

Compatible with soap bars, solid shampoos and solid care products

The Chamarrel magnetic soap holder is compatible with most solid products that are firm enough to hold the capsule properly:

• solid soap;
• Marseille soap;
• Aleppo soap;
• firm cold-process soap;
• non-crumbly solid shampoo;
• solid shaving bar;
• solid face or body care bar.

It is not recommended for products that are crumbly, too soft, too thin or brittle, because the capsule must be inserted securely into the material.

Ideal with Marseille soap

The magnetic soap holder works particularly well with a traditional soap bar of a suitable size. It keeps the soap dry and helps prevent unnecessary loss.

Used with genuine Marseille soap, it creates a simple, durable and economical combination. Marseille soap is usually firm enough for the capsule system, provided the bar is thick enough and remains within the recommended weight limit.

Supports up to 200 g vertically and 400 g horizontally

Small but strong, the Chamarrel magnetic soap holder can support up to 200 g vertically when correctly installed.

On a horizontal support, when the suction cup is fixed on a flat horizontal surface, it can hold up to 400 g.

The hold depends on several factors:

• a smooth and compatible surface;
• a properly fitted suction cup;
• a sufficiently firm soap bar;
• a well-inserted capsule;
• a balanced bar of soap;
• an installation point away from the direct water jet when possible.

What if the surface is not suitable for a suction cup?

The minimalist suction cup model is ideal for perfectly smooth surfaces. However, not every bathroom surface is compatible: mosaic tiles, uneven tiles, textured ceramic or raised surfaces can prevent the suction cup from adhering correctly.

In that case, Chamarrel offers a complementary option: Funambulle, a magnetic soap holder made from French wood. It keeps the floating soap principle but uses a strong adhesive system on clean surfaces, including some surfaces that are not perfectly smooth.

A durable, economical zero waste accessory

The Chamarrel magnetic soap holder helps reduce plastic packaging in the bathroom. It supports the use of solid soap, solid shampoo and solid care products that gradually replace disposable bottles.

Its environmental value goes further than packaging reduction. By helping soap dry properly, it also reduces product loss. The bar lasts longer, which means less waste and fewer replacements.

It is therefore a zero waste, durable and economical bathroom accessory: useful every day, compatible with a minimalist bathroom, sold loose, made without unnecessary packaging and manufactured in France.

Made in France by Chamarrel

Chamarrel manufactures its magnetic soap holder in France. The suction cup, capsule and professional display supports are part of a local, durable and transparent approach.

The Chamarrel minimalist soap holder is also assembled through a solidarity-based process: assembly is carried out in a nearby ESAT, helping support professional inclusion for workers with disabilities.

Choosing this soap holder means choosing a useful product with concrete commitments: French manufacturing, zero waste values, local economic activity and social responsibility.

A magnetic soap holder that also works in the kitchen

The magnetic soap holder is not limited to the bathroom. It can also be placed near the kitchen sink to keep a household soap bar or Marseille soap dry.

In the kitchen, it helps reduce bottles, avoids wet dishes and keeps soap within reach without cluttering the worktop. It fits well into a low-waste home and kitchen routine.

Custom branding for professionals

The magnetic soap holder is available with custom branding on request.

This option is particularly relevant for:

• soap makers;
• zero waste shops;
• organic stores;
• responsible concept stores;
• hotels;
• spas;
• retailers of solid care products;
• solid cosmetics brands.

The product naturally complements a range of soaps or solid shampoos and improves the customer experience in-store.

How to use the magnetic soap holder

First use

• Press the capsule into the centre of the soap by hand.
• Lather around the capsule.
• Allow the soap to dry for around 8 hours before first use.
• Fix the suction cup to a smooth, clean, dry, non-porous surface.
• Place the soap onto the magnetic suction cup.

Everyday tip

To remove the soap in daily use, twist it gently rather than pulling it straight away from the magnet. This helps avoid separating the capsule from the bar.

If the soap is very dry, work carefully: wet the bar first or press the capsule in under a thin stream of water.

Precautions for use

• The magnetic soap holder contains small parts: a magnetic suction cup and a metal capsule.
• This product is not a toy.
• Do not leave the metal capsule or suction cup within reach of young children.
• Small parts may present a risk of ingestion.
• Because the magnet is powerful, keep it away from electronic devices to avoid interference or malfunction.
• Do not handle the magnet with a metal tool such as pliers, as this may damage the seal and increase the risk of rust.

How to care for the magnetic soap holder

To extend the life of the magnetic soap holder, clean the suction cup and magnetic part once a week with clean water, then leave them to dry.

This simple maintenance helps prevent soap residue or limescale from building up and damaging the magnet seal. A clean holder gives better grip and longer-lasting performance.
