Does natural soap have a shelf life?
Unlike commercial soaps, natural soap contains no preservatives. Therefore natural soap does have a shelf life. Blackberry Creek tells me their soap has a shelf life of about one year. It is always best to store natural soap in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use it. The fact that natural soap does have a shelf life is an incentive to you to buy your soap online from a reputable source. Natural soap is expensive to stock in specialty stores and store owners are reluctant to dispose of obsolete inventory. Always smell the soap found on specialty store shelves to make sure the soap has not become rancid. Handmade-Natural-Soap.net ships soap directly from the manufacturer located in Wisconsin. We do this to insure that we ship the most recently manufactured soap so you enjoy the longest possible shelf life. Blackberry Creek creates their soap in small batches to insure the rapid turnover of inventory. It’s a more expensive way but the best way to run a natural soap company.
