Some of you might remember my foray into Ah Yuan Organic Handmade Soaps from a couple of years ago. One of my complaints was how quickly it melted, although I really liked the soaps.
Recently, during the visit by Mr. Ah Yuan or to give him his actual name Mr. Chiang Jung Yuan to Kuala Lumpur, he was asked just how long a bar of his soaps can last. His answer was about a month. A MONTH! I was shocked because my soap slips away quite quickly – 2 weeks at best.
Note: Do not store your handmade soaps like this. Store it on its side so it lasts longer.
Ah Yuan’s advise is to store your soaps away from water and on its side. This allows the air to circulate properly around a larger surface area of the soap thereby allowing it to dry out and last longer. So, now you know! 😀
Ah Yuan was in town to tell us about his new handmade flower soaps – soaps made with flower extracts for different needs.
