Felted Soap - An Elegant and Forgotten Art
Felted soap creates a luxurious lather, gently exfoliate the skin, and extend the life of the soap bar. The felt acts as a natural washcloth, preventing soap from becoming slimy and ensuring every last bit is used.
Here's the benefits:
-
Improved Lather and Exfoliation:The felt, when wet, interacts with the soap to create a rich lather, and the texture of the wool provides a gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells.
-
Extended Soap Life:The felt helps to conserve the soap bar, preventing it from dissolving quickly in water and ensuring that every last bit of soap is used.
-
Natural Washcloth:The felt acts as a natural washcloth, eliminating the need for separate loofahs or washcloths.
-
Prevents Slipping:The felt provides a secure grip, preventing the soap bar from slipping in the shower or bath.
-
No More Soap Slime:The felt helps to wick away moisture, preventing the soap from becoming slimy and sticky.
-
Natural Antibacterial Properties:Wool is naturally antibacterial, breathable, and odor-resistant, which is beneficial for hygiene.
-
Eco-Friendly:Using soap bars instead of liquid soap, reduces waste from plastic bottles. When the soap is gone, the felt can be reused for other purposes, such as cleaning or as a drawer freshener, or even used in bird nests.
