The Soaps Fact Sheet
*Handmade soap needs to be kept away from standing water and kept dry between uses. To make each handmade bar last as long as possible, We recommend using a well draining soap dish with raised areas so the bar doesn't sit in water. We want you to enjoy many, many wonderful baths and showers with DirtBag Soaps!
*The appearance of handmade soap varies slightly from bar to bar and from batch to batch. Each batch is hand poured, hand cut, and labeled. Each soap bar may be slightly different in shape, color or weight, but this only adds to the beauty and unique character of handcrafted soaps. Approximate weight of each of our bars are 3.5 - 4.0 oz.
Always perform a skin test when using new skin care products to ensure allergic reactions do not occur. This can be done by applying skin care products to the inside of the upper arm. If you are sensitive to a particular ingredient(s), reaction should occur within twenty-four hours of application. Products are tested on family and friends only! So please if you have sensitive skin or allergies please take note of the ingredients and do a patch test as described here
