A Guide to Caring for Your Natural Soap: Tips for Your Botanical Bars

 

Your Momenti Botanicals natural soap is more than a cleanser—it’s a moment of care crafted with natural ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and kaolin clay. Handmade in small batches in Laval, QC, our zero-waste soap bars are designed to nourish your skin and elevate your daily routine. With a few simple steps, you can keep your handmade soap fresh, long-lasting, and ready to bring calm to your self-care ritual.

 

Caring for natural soap and why it matters

Our cold-process handmade soaps blend organic oils and essential oils for a gentle, luxurious lather. Without proper care, these natural soaps can soften or dissolve quickly, shortening their 4-6 week lifespan with daily use. Taking care of your soap enhances your organic skincare routine, reduces waste, and supports eco-friendly living.

 



How to Care for Your Natural Soap

 

1. Use a Draining Soap Dish

After each use, place your natural soap on a well-draining soap dish or tray. Wooden or bamboo dishes work best to keep it dry, preventing water buildup that can soften your bar. This helps maintain its shape and eco-friendly qualities.

2. Let It Dry Between Uses

Allow your soap to air dry completely between washes. Store it in a ventilated area, away from humid bathrooms, to preserve its rich lather and natural scent. This simple step extends the life of your zero-waste skincare product.

3. Lather with Warm Water

Wet your hands or a washcloth with warm water before using your soap. This activates the organic oils for a smooth lather without over-softening the bar. Massage the lather onto your skin, then rinse for a clean, refreshed feel.

4. Travel Smart

For travel, store your soap in a breathable cotton pouch or ventilated tin. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can cause melting. This keeps your handmade soap ready for your skincare routine on the go.

 

Tips to Make Your Soap Last Longer

  • Keep It Dry: Always let your soap dry out between uses to maintain its shape and scent.

  • Avoid Heat: Store your soap away from direct sunlight or hot bathrooms to protect its natural ingredients.

  • Repurpose Small Pieces: Use leftover soap slivers by combining them with a new bar or as a hand wash for a sustainable organic skincare solution.
