How to Make Handmade Soap Bars Last Longer in Your Shower

Handcrafted cold-processed soaps contain natural glycerin which attracts moisture. To extend the life of your natural soap bar, follow these practical care tips.

1. Use a Draining Soap Dish

Never let natural soap sit in puddles of water. Use a wooden or slatted soap dish that elevates the bar and allows air circulation underneath.

2. Keep Away from Direct Shower Spray

Store your soap dish outside the direct spray zone of your shower so it is not continuously washed away when not in use.

3. Cut Large Soap Bars in Half

Using one half at a time keeps the remaining half dry and extends total usage time by up to 30%.
