The popular body care and fragrance brand Bath & Body Works is bringing back its unique Shapeable Soap product this summer for a limited amount of time.
The Shapeable Soaps were first introduced by the brand in 2009 and were eventually discontinued – and the brand decided to bring them back this year due to popular demand. They will be offered in three new summery scents, including a Poolside Pop that smells like pink lemonade, a Cabana Breeze that smells like coconut, and a Liquid Sunshine that smells like sandalwood and sea salt.
The Shapeable Soaps come in a foam or mousse-like formulation that is sprayed out of its can and comes out in solid, colored soap strings.
