How long will a bar of our handcrafted soap last?

The length of time your bar of handcrafted soap will last depends on a few factors: curing time, drainage between use, and amount of usage. After a batch of our handcrafted soap is poured it will harden for at least 24 hours then removed and left alone for another 24 hours. The soap loaf is then cut into bars and left to cure (dry) for 4 weeks. The longer the soap is left to cure the harder the bar will be as well as adding to the length of time the soap might last. To help the soap bar last even longer it is best to use something that allows proper/complete drainage of the bar in between usage. A soap net, a mesh sack you place the soap bar in and can hang to let dry between use. A soap deck is also a great way to allow the soap bar to dry between use by allowing air to circulate around the bar of soap.
With that said, if the soap has cured for about 4 weeks or longer and provided drainage to dry between use, a bar of our soap will last 2 to 3 months, depending on use.
