Covered in wool so you have a wash cloth on the soap bar. The felted cover stays in place and is ready to use each time you need it! The experience is a nice soft exfoliation over and over again. These bars are all the same scent. which simulates a soft mint with a gardenia and fruit combination. Each bar is wrapped in a different color so each household member can tell their bar from others in the home. As with all natural bar soaps put in a place it can dry on all side between use. It will last the longest. Enjoy!
