Storing your soap

When taken care of properly, all-natural soaps can a long time. Our soaps are designed to last you as long as possible with careful care. Our in-house blend of hard and oils and the curing of each for no less than 6 weeks, allows moisture to evaporate creating a harder, longer-lasting bar.

It is important to remember that natural soaps need to breathe and should be stored in a cool dry area with open ventilation in between uses. We advise using a soap dish with ridges to prevent water from settling under the soap and making it soggy.

When storing soap for future use, store it in a cool dry place with ventilation, away from direct sunlight.

Shelf-life

Our use of natural oils, butters, essential oils and other botanical ingredients means our bars do have a shelf life. We recommend that you use our scented bars within 6 months as the essential oils may fade beyond that time (though the soaps will continue to work at keeping you clean).  For our unscented bars, we recommend using them within 1 year to ensure the oils and butters retain their benefits.
