How to care for your handmade soaps July 18, 2015 12:51

Caring for Your Handmade Soaps.

The handmade soaps from Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations are crafted without chemical preservatives or harsh hardeners, meaning they require specific care to ensure their longevity. Due to their naturally high glycerin content, a key feature of our quality handmade soaps, they readily attract water. Therefore, it is crucial that your soap has an opportunity to dry thoroughly between uses. Leaving the soap in standing water will cause it to break down rapidly, diminishing its lifespan and the delightful experience it offers.
To maximize the life of your natural herbal creations:
1. Utilize a soap dish or rack that provides excellent drainage, allowing air to circulate and the soap to dry completely between uses.
2. Keep your handmade soap out of the direct stream of water when it is not in use to prevent unnecessary moisture exposure.
3. Inform your household members about these simple care practices for your handmade soaps, ensuring everyone contributes to their preservation.
When storing extra bars of our handmade soaps, it is important to choose a cool, dry environment. The bathroom, with its typically high humidity, is not ideal for storage. Instead, consider a linen closet or a dresser drawer. These locations not only preserve the quality of your unused Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations but also naturally infuse them with their wonderful, authentic fragrance. This thoughtful storage ensures your handmade soaps remain fresh and ready to use whenever you desire.
