Storage Tips

Handmade soap is very sensitive to humidity and exposure to sunlight or direct strong artificial lighting. This may cause fading of the colors and scents.

For best results, store and display soap away from dampness, humidity or extreme temperatures. Soap should always stay exposed to air - do not store in airtight containers and do not display in windows, direct sunlight or strong artificial lighting.
