Just like fine wine, Shain Premium Handcrafted Organic Herbal Soap get better with age. Left to cure for several months, moisture will evaporate out of your bar of handmade soap and the soap will become slightly smaller, harder, longer lasting, and more mild. The harder (older) the soap, the longer it lasts and the better lather it produces. We allow our soaps to cure for 4 to 6 weeks. This resting process assures a fine quality product. You simply cannot rush a good thing.
The method we chose to superfat our soaps creates a bar with a high percentage of unincorporated oils. 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 than many other soapmakers. As a result, you may notice our bar soaps tend to be softer than those of other soapmakers.
Natural soaps need to breathe. Exposure to air promotes hardening of your soap and contributes to longer-lasting quality. Soap should be left unwrapped or wrapped with breathable materials. Tight wrappers cause humid conditions by preventing evaporation of moisture.
Shain Premium Handcrafted Organic Herbal Soap contain all natural fresh ingredients and no artificial preservatives. We superfat our soaps by adding extra oils like extra virgin olive oil, castor oil and virgin coconut oil. These oils are not consumed in the soap making process and remain to nourish your skin. These unreacted oils add beneficial properties to the soap, but they can spoil over long periods of time. We do not use synthetic stabilizers or preservatives like BHT or Trisodium EDTA to prolong shelf life. These materials can be skin irritants and are usually found in commercial soaps to extend their shelf life for years. We use organic oil and organic herb to help prolong the shelf life of our superfatted soaps.
Store your natural handmade soaps in a dry, cool place away from excessive heat and humidity.You can store them in their little brown bags
WILL Shain Premium Handcrafted Organic Herbal 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.
To maximize the life of your soap, keep it in a well-drained soap dish so it can dry between uses.
