Soap Care

The soap is really pretty, but as enchanted as it is, it is soap after all. If you’d like, put it on display a while, but please do use it eventually. Like anything, it wants to fulfill its purpose. When you’re ready to use the soap, gently peel back the label (on most products) to reveal the wishing-and-washing directions or words of inspiration. The labels are adhered to the box with dots of removable craft glue.

The soap will begin the natural process of breaking down in humid environments and when it gets wet. How long a soap lasts all depends on the humidity level of the environment and whether or not it sits in a watery soap dish or floats around in a bathtub or shower. You can pat it dry after use and keep it in a dry place or a dry soap dish to slow the breaking down process.

Any dried white foam that forms on the soap will rinse away with the next use. Gylcerin dew, the lovely name for little beads of soapy dew that develop on the soap, might occur in very humid environments. Like soapy foam, that washes away too.

Remember, when your soap has served its purpose, there’s always more soap!

About the Soap Ingredients

When I decided to make the soaps on this website and in custom orders, I made the only decision I could: to use high-quality ingredients. The glycerin soap base I use is labeled “100% Pure Natural Glycerin Soap: Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Soy free, and Hypoallergenic.” Both the shea butter soap base and the oatmeal soap base are also labeled “all natural” and the glycerin they contain is of plant origin (and Kosher, too).

You’d actually think you can eat this soap, but don’t. It’s for wishing and washing, not eating.

The mica powder and mineral glitter I use to give these soaps their sparkle and pearly luster are labeled “vegan & cruelty free.” They’re specifically made for soap and other skin products, so this isn’t the glitter you glue on to craft projects. You won’t be left with a glittery sheen either, although that might be kind of nice.

With regard to scent, I use only 100% pure essential oils. All of the soaps featured on this website are made with either therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil, therapeutic-grade cedarwood essential oil, therapeutic-grade bergamot essential oil, organic sage essential oil, or 100% pure rosewood oil. The product listings tell you which essential oil has been used.

Important: Always be mindful of your own sensitivities before making a purchase. If you would like one of the products featured on this website without scent or color, you are more than welcome to place a custom order!

Recycle

What are you going to do with that plastic box and paper shred after you’ve removed your soap, peeled back the Wishing-and-Washing Directions or other inspiration, and pulled off the little dots of removable craft glue?

Don’t toss it away! These are great little boxes! Fill your leftover box with a handful of candies or a couple home-baked cookies, close the top, tie a bow around it, and voila—insta-gift!

If I started from scratch now, I’d scratch the plastic boxes. But they’re here to stay until all of the supplies are gone.
