Usage | Warnings

☾USAGE:
Soap:
For best results (and  better lather) - wet skin, lather bare bar across body, lather up your cloth, pouf or sponge and gently wash. Rinse thoroughly.  Take care to avoid sensitive areas if you are using a fragranced soap, as it may cause irritation.
To lengthen the life of handmade soap always be sure to rest your soap on a self drying tray when not in use.  

Lotions:
Apply to the body as needed for moisture and fragrance.
Avoid sensitive areas.  Do not use around eyes, lips etc.

Patch test on forearm 24 hours prior to use!
Not recommended for facial application.
