SHOWER BLOCKS
Frustrated about the amount of shower gel bottles he was getting through, Founder Neil Whippey tried several plastic free products but struggled to find one that he was happy with. They were either drying on the skin or far too expensive to consider for regular usage.
Over the course of the next 9 months (the 2020 UK lockdown really accelerated things), Neil taught himself to make cosmetics from scratch and set about creating Shower Blocks.
Close to 200 million shower gel bottles are purchased in the UK annually, with around 82 million of those not being recycled. That's not even counting the amount of separate shampoo and conditioner bottles!
Since then Shower Blocks has come up with more exciting innovations, expanding from solid shower gels to solid shampoos and hand bars too.
Neil works tirelessly to help save the planet and in Autumn 2022 set up an outdoor shower and swapped out hot water for freezing cold! The blocks still bubble up amazingly and he's LOVING the outdoor life!
We've worked with Neil from the very start of his journey, and have loved being a part of his story. He regularly pops samples in the post for us to test - a bit of a perk of the job (though it is hard for me to be persuaded away from my favourite Mint & Grapefruit!). Lots of exciting things to come from Shower Blocks - watch this space!

I bought this for my daughter’s birthday. I love the colour and the design of hummingbird’s on the make-up bag is stunning.
A really different but fabulous scarf, bought to wear with black dress for accent colour but can be used with so many more colours. Easy to order and delivery when promised. Thank you to all at Green Tulip
Great company for their selection of eco products. Items of quality, well packaged and quick delivery.Excellent.
I bought my friend’s secret Santa gift from here and everything was perfect - the package was ordered and arrived within the stated time, the packaging was eco friendly and the products were just fantastic. I love that this company is doing something ethical, quietly and without a fuss but that it does it to the absolute best of its ability and exactly what you’d expect. Plus from looking at the website it’s a team of dedicated and fabulous women (and Lola the dog!) who are committed to what they do.
I’d definitely recommend and will be ordering again!
