Proper storage is essential to ensure an olive oil soap bar's longevity and effectiveness. Olive oil-based soap tends to be softer and more prone to melting than other types of soap due to its high oil content. Here are some tips to keep your olive oil soap bar in the best condition:
Firstly, store the soap in a dry place. After each use, keep the soap away from direct water flow and allow it to dry completely. A well-draining soap dish is ideal, as it prevents the soap from sitting in water, which can cause it to dissolve quickly.
Secondly, keep the soap in a cool, ventilated area. Excessive heat and humidity can lead to premature melting or softening of the soap. A bathroom shelf away from the shower is a good spot.
If you have multiple bars of olive oil based soap, store the unused ones in a cool, dry place, such as a linen closet or a drawer, until you're ready to use them. Wrapping the soap in wax paper or storing it in a breathable container can help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air.
