The African Black Soap is a soft milled soap with a very high natural glycerin content. Meaning, it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Therefore, store your Black Soap in a very dry location or in a sealed plastic bag. If the soap absorbs too much moisture, the soap will become very soft.and will result in a thin white coloured film covering the soap. The white film is not mould, it is a reaction from the absorption of water from the air. Keep the soap in a dry location to avoid the development of white film during storage.
