Caring for Handmade soap

FAQ - Handmade soap



ThePinangSoap

As I have been promoting my handmade soaps, I have noticed there are some of the questions that coming up again and again from the consumers. So here you will find some common questions and answers! ^ ^

1) Does handmade soap expire?
ThePinang handmade soap ​​should last about 18 to 24 months before it is potentially irritating to the skin. Be sure to store your soap in a cool, dry place that has some ventilation. Storing in an airtight container will not be good for soap, because it can sweat. Finally, when you ask "Is the soap running out," consider what looks like soap. Does it look moldy? The smell bad? If it does not look or smell right, you better do not use it! 
Fyi, the 'manufacturing' date will be stated in the receipt when you purchase our soaps. 

2) Do you use any animal products?
No. Our soaps are vegan. You will find the ingredients of each product listed on the product page and always on the label attached to each product

3) How long does a bar of your soap last? how to keep my soap from getting mushy?
Practically each 140g bar of our soap last approximately 4 weeks with daily use, but it will also depend on how often it is used, how many people are using it and how it is stored. It is best for your handmade soap to dry out between uses. You can use a soap dish with draining holes to ensure exccessive water to drain away from your soap bar. Due to the high glycerin content, our soap will soak up any excess water it can and will wear away quicker if it is kept in a wet environment. You want the glycerin because it is a humectant that draws moisture from the air to your skin.

4) Do you test the pH of your soap?
Yes. We use laboratory grade pH meter to test the soap alkalinity. ThePinang soap pH is ranging from 9.5-10.5 and this is normal for body soap.
