To Wrap or Not to Wrap Your Soaps

According to Norma Covey, author of The Complete Soapmaker,
if you did not add any fragrance to your soap then you do not need protective wrapping. But if your soap is scented then you should always wrap your soap with plastic wrap or the scent will dissapate. Since her book is primarily on the Cold Process of making soap, I would take this advice. But on the other hand, I found that glycerin soap will sometimes sweat, it best to keep them wrapped until you are going to use them.

If you want to make your packaging more attractive, the author suggests in making your soaps more attractive in appearance, use these items in addition to your plastic wrap:

* Wax Paper
* Sewn Fabric
* Sachet Bags
* Muslin Bags
* Corrugated Cardboard (wrapped with ribbons, etc.)
* Colorful Gift Wrap
