# Single-Use Soap Shavings This Unique Soap Product Was Designed to Be Portable By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-11-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-shavings References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2016/11/snob-duck-one-use.html) & [snobduck](http://www.snobduck.com/) The soap shavings offered by the brand 'Snob Duck' were created by designer Marios Karystios. The shavings serve a purpose that is both standard and unique -- they are unsurprisingly designed to keep people's hands clean but the fact that they come in thin, square forms allows them to be used in one go. The soap shavings come in [metal tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niul-cosmetics) that feature [playful illustrative branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-pen) with an image of a duck. The tin packaging that these soaps feature is ideal for on-the-go use and fits soap shavings perfectly without being too bulky for travelers. This unique product allows hygiene-obsessed individuals to carry around soap without inconveniencing themselves and is designed for individual use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Hygiene Products:** The trend of portable hygiene products presents an opportunity for the development of innovative, on-the-go solutions like single-use soap shavings. - **Minimalist Packaging:** The trend of minimalist packaging creates a space for compact and functional soap packaging, catering to travelers and people on the move. - **Novel Soap Formats:** The trend of novel soap formats opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the soap industry, such as thin, square soap shavings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Care:** The personal care industry can explore single-use soap shavings as a convenient and hygienic option for customers. - **Travel:** The travel industry can benefit from innovative soap products like single-use soap shavings to offer convenient hygiene solutions for travelers. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can tap into the demand for compact and functional soap packaging, providing sustainable and efficient alternatives for various products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soap-Embedded Body Scrubers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-smoosh.md) - [Sleek Toiletries Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soapstone-20.md) - [Paw-Print Soap Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinoosh.md) - [Swipe-On Solid Shampoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seabar.md) - [Food-Based Body Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-soap.md) - [Bottle-Shaped Shampoo Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dissolving-bottle.md) - [Collapsible Camping Soap Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-bar-case.md) - [Festive Moldable Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-body-works-shapeable-soap.md) - [Shrinking Sad Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-that-turns-sad.md)
