Will A Bar of Handcrafted Soap Last As Long
As A Bar Of Commercial Soap?

 

Natural soaps are normally softer than commercial soaps
because they retain their natural glycerin and
contain no hardening chemicals or synthetic waxes.

   

The method we chose to superfat our soaps creates a bar with a high percentage of unincorporated  oils.  (We superfat our soaps more than our shampoo bars.)   This results in a more emollient, more moisturizing, and gentler soap.  Different oils impart different qualities to soap.  Some add lathering qualities, some moisturizing, some hardness, and so on.  We use a larger percentage of extra moisturizing and conditioning oils in our soaps and shampoo bars than many other soapmakers. As a result, you may notice that some of our bar soaps to be softer than others.
 
To maximize the life of your soap, keep it in a well-drained soap dish so it can dry between uses.   We sell a handcrafted solid white oak soap dish. The deep ridges are perfect for keeping your all natural handcrafted soap dry between uses. White Oak is the wood used in shipbuilding

 

I absolutely love your shampoo bars! Chamomile and Citrus is my favorite because it smells so divine you want to eat it! Honey Beer and Nettle are fantastic too!  I can't believe the size and just how long it lasts! Continued success, and thanks again! :D
