How to Make Bar Soap Last Longer
Bar soap breaks down fast if it sits in standing water between uses. That's usually the actual problem, not the soap itself. A draining soap tray roughly doubles the life of a bar. Store unused bars somewhere dry and they'll continue to cure, which most people find improves the scent over time. Small habit, noticeably longer-lasting bar.
Why We Don't Use Synthetic Fragrance
"Fragrance" on an ingredient label can legally hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals. A loophole most soap and skincare brands rely on. Wild Timber doesn't use it. Scent comes from real plant oils and essential oils, and every ingredient we use is listed on the product page, no exceptions. If you're looking for natural soap without synthetic fragrance, this is the difference that actually matters.
