FAQ

CP soap is a cleanser made from oils or fats and an alkaline, such as lye. The lye reacts with the oils (saponification) and turns the liquid into soap blocks . Most body cleansers (liquid and solid) on the market contain synthetic detergent products and other additives so they are classified as cosmetics and/or Drugs according to the FDA. For example, Dove is regulatred as a cosmetic product and antibacterial soaps are regulated as drugs.

Drainage is key. Soap made from oils and fats will soften if left in water. Use a soap dish with excellent drainage to best preserve the life of your soap.

Yes! This will actually extend the use you get from one bar. Cut your soap with a knife and store the unused portion in a cool, dry place.

As a soap cures (dries), the scent on top tends to fade, the soap develops something like a shell or barrier. When you wash away that outermost layer, you will find your scent intact. Also, some scents are made with volatile oils and quickly disperse in the air. Proper storage will help protect the scent of your soap. Keep it out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to enjoy that scent a little bit longer.
