Flexible soap?

[szaza]

So I recently came across something called 'flexible soap' and it it got me curious! There seems to be only one company that sells it and they don't have any info on ingredients on their website (though I assume it's a syndet bar, which is why I posted it in Bath and body forum - please replace this post if it needs to be somewhere else!)
I can only load their website in Dutch, even though it's clearly translated from English.. has anyone seen this before? Or do you know what it is and what's in there or why/how it stays flexible? At first I thought it was just soap dough, but it is descibed as 'endlessly moldable'.

ETA: I managed to open the website in English on my laptop (must have been a problem with my phone), so here's the link:

The link got me to a page of nothing, so something over there must have been moved. Chrome translated everything to English for me. I did not find "flexible" soap, but I did find "kneaded" soap-- a difference in translations, maybe? https://www.treets.com/nl/webshop/treets-bubble/kneedbare-zeep I have seen such things for kids before. They show up in the stores around Christmas time. We had a little once, way before I was soaping, so I was not aware of ingredients.

Thanks Artemis! It is indeed translated into Dutch as "kneadable soap", but the package sais flexible soap, so went with that for the title. Good to know it's been around for longer, I'll keep an eye out around Christmas if I find some in store to see what it is and what's in there to make it stay flexible I just managed to open the website in English on my laptop, I'll edit and add the link to the first post.

It sounds like soap dough to me.

Thanks! but doesn't soap dough dry out when exposed to air? It sounds like this one stays moldable.. any idea how that could be achieved?

It's probably similar to Lush's moldable soap: https://www.lushusa.com/bath/fun/festive-friends/08427.html
You can see their ingredient list in the link. I suspect that it is similar to a bubble bar that doesn't get hard, thus being moldable. More like kinetic sand (moon sand) than play dough.

Cool! thanks @amd !

Here's a link to the recipe I purchased. I haven't tried it yet but she does say in the intro that she's left a piece out for over a week and it was still moldable.

I wonder if it's the same as marshmallow soap? I've seen this but just sorta scrolled on by as it's not anything I was to interested in learning. I believe I seen it on YouTube.

Hmmm bubble dough and marshmallow soap.. two things I never even remotely expected to exist, but here it is! I think there's a big chance the 'flexible soap' is actually bubble dough like @amd suggested and probably also very similar to the recipe @Misschief linked to. Thanks for the input everyone!
