SLS (Sodium Layryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ether Soulfate) is irritant to human skin foaming agent derived from coconut oil and used to produce brake fluid, antifreeze, shampoos, bubble bath, toothpaste and body soap.

HOW DO I CARE AND STORE SOAPLANDIA'S SOAP AT HOME?
- Storing soap: It is best to store soaps in a cool, dry place. Natural soaps like to breathe, so don't lock them up in anything plastic/sealed. Avoid direct sunlight if you're trying to prolong the life of the bar.
- Using soap: It is best to use Soaplandia's soap within six months of purchase to enjoy the benefits as they are meant to be enjoyed. If left in water good natural handmade soap tends to dissolve. To ensure the longest life of the bar store soap out of water, on a draining soap dish or stand, so that it air dries.
