Rosenda Back to Nature’s Guide to Sustainable Soap Use
Love your Rosenda Back to Nature soap but hate how quickly it disappears? You’re not alone! Many people unknowingly waste soap by letting it dissolve too fast.
Luckily, our master soapmakers shared their top tricks to extend your soap’s lifespan—saving you money and reducing waste.
Why Does Soap Dissolve So Quickly?Most bar soaps (especially natural ones) soften easily because they lack synthetic hardeners. Factors that speed up melting:
🚿 Constant water exposure – Leaving soap in a puddle breaks it down faster.
🧽 Over-scrubbing – Aggressive rubbing creates more slivers.
🌡 Humidity – Moist environments soften soap prematurely.
6 Artisan-Approved Tips to Make Your Soap Last
1. Use a Soap Saver Bag or Loofah
Place your soap scraps in a mesh bag (like those from onions or garlic). The bag:
Creates a rich lather without wasting product.
Holds tiny soap pieces until they’re fully used up.
2. Keep It Dry Between Uses
Store your soap on a slotted, wooden, or bamboo dish that allows drainage.
Avoid ceramic dishes that trap water.
3. Cut Your Bar into Smaller Chunks
Use 1/4 of the bar at a time to minimize exposure to water.
Bonus: Smaller pieces are easier to grip and less likely to slip away!
4. Limit Direct Water Contact
Wet your hands first, then lather the soap away from running water.
For showers, rub the soap between your hands instead of directly on your body.
5. “Cure” Your Soap Before Use
New bars last longer if you let them air-dry for 1–2 weeks in a cool, dry place.
This evaporates excess moisture, hardening the bar.
6. Grate & Mix with Water for Liquid Soap
Don’t throw away slivers! Blend them with:1 cup grated soap + 4 cups hot water = DIY liquid soap for handwashing or dishes.
