Product Care & Safety
At FAAT Soap, we take pride in offering high-quality skincare products that are both luxurious and safe. This page provides important information on how to care for and use our products responsibly, ensuring their effectiveness and maintaining their safety.
1. Introduction to Product Care
Welcome to our Product Care & Safety page! Our skincare products are designed to provide you with the best results, and proper care is essential to preserve their integrity. Whether you’re using our oils, butters, moisturizers, or scrubs, understanding how to handle and store them will help you enjoy the full benefits of FAAT Soap.
2. Preservative-Free Oils & Butters
Our oils and butters are carefully formulated to be preservative-free because they contain no water. This eliminates the need for preservatives and ensures their safety and effectiveness.
Why Preservative-Free?
Oils and butters that are free from water are naturally stable. Water exposure introduces the risk of harmful microorganisms like mold and bacteria, which is why no preservatives are needed in our oil-based products.
How to Use Oils & Butters Safely:
- Apply to clean, dry or damp skin right after your shower or bath to seal in moisture.
- Keep free from water exposure to maintain their integrity.
- Store away from moisture to prevent contamination.
- Packaging: We use bottles for oils to minimize contamination.
3. Water-Based/ Exposed Products (Moisturizers & Scrubs)
Products that contain water, such as our moisturizers, and those exposed to water like scrubs, require preservatives to ensure safety.
The Importance of Preservatives:
Preservatives prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and fungi that thrive in water-based environments. Without preservatives, water-based products can spoil and become unsafe for use.
Our Commitment to Safety:
We use only safe and effective preservatives in our water-based products, ensuring your skin and the product’s longevity are well-protected. Additionally, we add a small amount of preservative based on the batch size to ensure it remains effective. Excess water contamination after opening the product can compromise the preservative, creating an environment that encourages microbial growth.
How to Use Water-Based /Exposed Products Safely:
- Moisturizers: Use clean, dry fingers when applying the moisturizer to avoid contamination. Store in a dry, cool place away from moisture to maintain the product’s effectiveness. Always seal tightly after each use to protect the product from air and water exposure.
- Scrubs: Use dry fingers or a spatula to apply the scrub to ensure the product remains free from water. Store in a dry, cool place away from moisture. Seal tightly after each use to prevent contamination and maintain the product's integrity.
4. Bar Soaps: Keep Them Dry for Maximum Longevity
Our hand-crafted soaps are made with a high glycerin content, which helps attract moisture to the skin, keeping it healthy and fresh. However, glycerin also draws in water, which can cause the soap to break down quickly if exposed to standing water.
How to Store Your Soap Properly:
- Avoid Standing Water: Do not leave soap sitting in water, in a direct stream of water, or in a dish where water can pool. Doing so will shorten the lifespan of the bar.
- Use a Soap Dish: Store your soap on a soap dish to allow it to dry properly between uses. The dish helps keep the soap elevated and allows air to circulate, preventing the soap from softening too quickly.
- Shaping for Drying: Our soaps are shaped to maximize the drying surface. Store them upright in a U-shape, with the sides facing up for optimal air circulation and drying.
5. Safe Storage Tips
To keep your FAAT Soap products in top condition:
- Oils & Butters: While it’s common for people to store oils and butters in the bathroom, be cautious of exposure to moisture. Keep caps tightly closed and store away from water sources to preserve their integrity. For best results, apply oils and butters to damp skin after your shower or bath to lock in moisture.
- Moisturizers & Scrubs: These products can also be kept in the bathroom, but like oils and butters, care should be taken to avoid water exposure. Store them in a cool, dry place and keep containers tightly sealed.
- Scrubs: Use your sugar scrub in the shower while your skin is damp, but be sure to keep the product dry and free from water exposure when not in use.
6. Additional Information on Product Safety
- Shelf Life: Our preservative-free oils and butters have a long shelf life, but proper storage will ensure they last even longer.
- Water Contamination Risks: Introducing water to our oil-based products can cause them to degrade over time, resulting in potential skin irritation and compromised efficacy. In water-based products, excess water exposure compromises the preservatives, which increases the risk of contamination.
7. Conclusion
By following these simple care and storage guidelines, you can ensure the maximum effectiveness and longevity of your FAAT Soap products. Whether you're using our oils, butters, moisturizers, scrubs, or soaps, a little attention to detail goes a long way in maintaining their quality.
