How should I store this bar soap and use it so it doesn't dissolve too quickly? — Baby cream soap with Rose and Lavender extract 90 g - Shik

Shik baby soap is a solid 90 g bar, so how you store it has a big effect on how long it lasts. If it sits in a puddle of water, the surface softens and washes away faster. A soap dish with drainage holes or a ribbed surface lets the bar dry out between uses, which keeps it firm and hygienic.

For everyday use:

• Wet your hands or the baby's skin with lukewarm water.
• Lather the soap in your hands first, then apply the lather to the skin. This is gentler for a baby than rubbing the bar directly on the body.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat the skin dry.
• Return the bar to the draining dish and let it dry completely before the next use.

Because the soap lathers easily and rinses off well, you only need a small amount. A thin layer of lather is enough for handwashing or a quick cleanse before sleep. There is no need to scrub.

If you use the same bar for the whole family, it is fine to keep it in a shared bathroom as long as it is allowed to dry. For a newborn, some parents prefer to keep a separate bar to avoid transferring adult skin products, but this is a personal choice rather than a requirement. Avoid the eye area during washing, and stop use if irritation appears.
