The best, most sanitary way to store your natural soap bars is to make sure to keep them elevated + dry, preventing them from sitting in a pool of water. If they sit in water, it serves as a breeding ground for bacteria + also makes the soap mushy.
It's important to use a draining soap saver dish/soap holder to allow air to circulate around the soap to help keep it dry.

First thing is, our wooden soap holders are self-draining, which helps to keep your soap bars dry in between uses, which helps you to use even less soap in the end.
