FAQs
Why should I buy handmade soap?
Handmade soap from The Science of Bliss is created in small batches with very high standards for ingredients and aesthetics. Our artisan soap has only skin-loving oils and they retain the glycerin that's a natural part of the soap making process. Commercial bars will remove this humectant (which means it draws moisture to your skin) because they can make more money by adding it to other products like lotions.
Buying handmade soaps supports small businesses and families. We often form a genuine connection with our customers that goes well beyond simple transactions.

How can I make my soap last longer?
How long your soap bar lasts depends on a lot of different factors. On our end, we cure our soap for a minimum of 4 weeks (usually much longer) so extra water can evaporate and the bar can harden.
The best way to ensure your soap lasts once you take it home is to store it in a cool, dry place. (Bonus - it will make closets or drawers smell amazing!) Once you start using it, be sure to let the soap dry out completely between uses. Don't let it sit in any water, and keep it out of the direct spray of the shower when you're not lathering up.
What ingredients do you use?
The Science of Bliss soaps are made with high-quality vegetable-based oils and butters. Each of the 7 oils in our base recipe have different traits that together create the perfect bar. Some make it lather beautifully, some make it harder, and all are really great for your skin.
