We formulate every bar with natural ingredients so that it has the flexibility to be used as a shampoo bar or even as a moisturizing soap for your skin care routine.

The longevity of your bar soap can depend on many factors, but we have a few recommendations to help your moisturizing soap last longer.  

**PROPER DRAINING**  

Make sure your soap does not sit in a puddle of water in a soap dish. A soap saver pad or wooden draining soap dish works great to keep it dry.  

**SIDE REST**  

When not in use, set your soap on its side. The less surface area of the bar exposed to moisture, the better it can dry between uses.  

**SOAP SLEEVE**  

Using a soap saver sleeve in the shower can help maintain your soap’s integrity.  

**BUY EXTRA**  

Consider buying extra bars of our handmade soap and storing them in a dry location to allow them to age. As our soap ages, the water evaporates, leaving you with a harder, longer-lasting bar that’s great for skin care.  

**USE A WASHCLOTH**  

Using a washcloth can extend the life of your baby soap. Under warm water, wet your washcloth, place the bar of soap in the middle, and then fold the washcloth over the soap while rubbing to create a nice lather. After lathering, set your soap back on the soap dish to drain and dry out between uses. By using the washcloth to lather and clean, you expose the soap to less water time, unlike when it's rubbed directly onto your skin in a shower.  

**SAVE THE SCRAPS**  

We save remnants of soap and add them right into the soap sleeve. For a soap saver pad that is full of soap, fill your sink (or a large bowl) with warm water and soak the soap saver pads or soap dishes to remove soap remnants. You can drain your sink after the soak if you wish, but we recommend saving the soapy water for cleaning that day. Just be sure to discard any unused soapy water at the end of the day.  

In general, one bar of our handmade soap can last anywhere from 20-40+ showers, depending on various factors. By using our handmade soaps, you're making a positive impact on the environment (no plastic bottles), supporting a small family business, and enjoying a natural product made with a proprietary blend of luxury oils that contain moisturizing properties, ideal for your skin care routine.

We do not currently offer a liquid soap for sale, but you can try dissolving a quarter of our moisturizing soap bar in an 8 oz pump bottle filled with distilled water. This allows you to experiment with converting our soap into a liquid form suitable for hand washing. Some customers enjoy using this method for their skin care routines, while others do not find it as effective. One of our team members uses this technique at home with a refillable glass pump, and it works well for her family, who also use it for cleaning purposes. If you decide to try this method, we recommend that the liquid soap be used within 3 days. Additionally, our soap is made with natural ingredients, making it a great choice for baby soap or even as a gentle shaving soap.

We are often asked how to use our baby soap along with essential oils for cleaning purposes. The following is simply information about how we use natural ingredients, including essential oils, for cleaning our homes. We do not recommend that you do the same as we do since we are unaware of the type of flooring or surfaces you have—some of these cleaning recipes may be damaging to the surface you intend to clean, which is why we are simply sharing information based on our experience. We find that Tea Tree, Lavender, and Eucalyptus essential oils work well for cleaning. With small children or pets in the house, we have always used essential oils very sparingly. As a reminder, keep essential oils and all cleaning products out of the reach of children.
