Handmade Soap Care
The majority of handmade soaps don't contain any synthetic preservatives or artificial hardeners because it really doesn't need to. With just a little care and common sense, you can prolong the life of your handmade bar soap.
Here are a few tips;
- Don't let your soap sit in water.
- Ensure your soap air dries between uses. The drier it gets, the longer it will last.
- Store your soap on a well drained soap dish or hanging soap bag at all times.
- Use a cotton wash cloth, loofah, or soap bag, to extend its life rather than rubbing the bar all over yourself.
- Use the soap within 6 months of purchase. It's natural soap... it won't last forever.
- Store unused soap in a room temp, limited light, dry place. Excessive heat, light, and moisture are not very nice to natural soap.
