Storing your solid cosmetics properly is crucial to extending their lifespan. Fortunately, there are several practical and eco-friendly solutions to help you do just that. So, are you ready to extend the life of your favorite cosmetics? Let’s get started!
1. Keep them dry! 💧
To preserve the quality of your solid cosmetics, the first rule to follow is to keep them dry. Water is their number one enemy, as it can make them melt or deteriorate quickly. So make sure to store them in a dry place.
2. Keep them away from light and heat ☀️
Like many products, solid cosmetics are best stored away from direct sunlight and heat. A shelf in your bathroom, provided it is not located under a window, will be an ideal place to store them safely.
3. Opt for hanging solid soaps 🧼
A clever way to extend the life of your bar soaps is to hang them. By hanging them with a rope from the shower rod or a hook , you allow the water to drain easily and the soap to dry optimally. This approach prevents the product from softening and guarantees its longevity. At On Behalf, we have chosen this option by offering bar soaps with holes along their entire length for better ventilation and to hang them until they are completely used.
4. The magnetic soap dish 🧲
The magnetic soap dish turns out to be an ingenious and practical solution. It works thanks to a metal part to push into the soap and a suction cup to stick on the shower wall or tiles. This method keeps the soap in the air, ensuring quick and even drying. No more soaps lying around on the edge of the bathtub!
5. Choose a suitable soap dish 🖱
The traditional soap dish remains a classic choice, but it is essential to select a model that allows water to drain and does not retain moisture. We offer in particular ceramic soap dishes , handmade in Nantes by a renowned ceramicist, as well as recycled plastic models designed in ESAT in Quimper. Each of these options has its advantages, but they all contribute to ensuring optimal conservation of your products.
6. The carrying pouch 🧳
For those who are often on the move, the carrying pouch is the ideal solution. Less bulky than a plastic box, it is handmade in the Nantes region and in ESAT, guaranteeing local and responsible production. The organic bamboo fabric is very absorbent and can hold several soaps, protecting them while allowing moisture to evaporate. Avoid closed pots or boxes so that water can evaporate.
Conclusion
Organic solid cosmetics are a wonderful alternative to traditional products, beneficial for both your skin and the planet. By adopting good storage practices, you will extend their lifespan and continue to enjoy their benefits for even longer. Are you ready to take care of your solid cosmetics responsibly?
