"A man’s tenure on earth is limited enough, but once the beetle’s ticking begins there’s no way to stop it; there’s no plug to pull, no pendulum to stop, no switch that will restore the time you once thought you had.” ― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic

Please note that this is a handmade product. The design and colors vary from bar to bar. 

Discontinue use if any discomfort or irritation occurs.

care information

Keep the bar dry in between uses. Handmade soaps have naturally occurring glycerin, and that bad boy will suction itself down to a flat surface.

To prevent this, place on a grooved soap dish. This will also allow the water to drain off. No soap dish? Stand it on its edge.

Also, cutting your soap in half is an excellent way to get more out of every bar. I know this sounds like soap murder but trust me… you want the bar to last.
