Since handcrafted soap has no chemical preservatives, it deserves a specific care plan to insure the longest, happiest relationship possible between you and your soap.

• Handcrafted soap is best stored out of water so that it air dries; this means resting on a draining soap dish or standing on its side, out of the spray range of a showerhead.
• Handcrafted soap is 1/3 glycerine naturally. Glycerine is a humectant meaning it attracts moisture. If left in water, glycerine in this soap will absorb water and the bar will begin breaking down. Take appropriate precautions to safeguard the life of your soap.
  
• When using soaps for body cleansing, longevity improves if you avoid rubbing the bar directly onto the body. Instead, use hands, washcloth or other bathing instrument to apply the soap to your body. This will also minimize encounters with any large pieces of herbs or exfolliants.
• Store in a cool, dry place, preferably NOT under the sink if you have metal pipes. (The soap's glycerin will attract moisture from condensation on pipes heated as hot water flows through it.) Many people report storing soaps in linen cupboards and dresser drawers to freshen towels and clothing.

Other Important Information:

• As with any skin care product, if irritation develops, discontinue use.
• If you are allergic to any ingredients in a soap bar, do not use the soap!
• Some soaps contain nut oils; please read the descriptions carefully. Every effort has been made to note this in a description; however, no warranties or guarantees are made in this regard.
• As with any soap, avoid eye contact and do not eat the soap.
• Keep all soaps out of the reach of children.
• While every precaution has been taken to minimize this, products may contain large pieces of exfolliants or herbs; exercise care when using.
