The  importance  of  a  soap  dish

Handmade soap contains all the natural glycerin that is produced as a by-product of the saponification process. Because it has no harsh chemicals and other preservatives,  handmade soap is not as hard as mass-produced  bars which has had the glycerin removed.  However, natural soap can  last just as long as commercial soap if you remember not to let the bar sit in water for long periods.

To prevent the soap from dissolving quickly, a good soap dish is important. Use wooden ones with grooves or slots at the base, to allow excess water to drain from the bar or any dish with good drainage will work. If you don’t use a dish, at least try standing the soap on edge after use, so the least amount of surface is in contact with any puddles. You can also place marbles in the bottom of any dish to allow the handmade soap to drain.

Lastly, it is always nice to have two bars of natural soap in use at one time.  While one is drying out you can alternate and use the other one.  Drying between use, helps extend the life of the soap!

Enjoy your soap!
