After we make our cold-process soap, it cures in a cool, dry place for 8 to 12 weeks.
During this time, excess water evaporates, the soap hardens, and the glycerin becomes more concentrated, creating a mild, long-lasting bar with a richer lather.
But, after nearly 25 years of soapmaking, we have discovered that some bars continue to get better with age. Over time, something subtle and wonderful continues to happen—the soap becomes more refined, the texture becomes silkier, the lather creamier, and the bar is even gentler on the skin.
We always tuck away a few bars from each batch just for ourselves—letting them cure for 9 to 12 months or more. Over that time, they shrink a bit, and the colors and scents may fade. However, the trade-off is worth it because what remains is something truly special.
Now, we are sharing these well-aged bars with you. They take time and patience, but they are so worth the wait.
