The creator answers a customer's question about the shelf life of their tallow soap after announcing a scent is being discontinued. He explains the science of the curing process, using B-roll of the workshop to show how water evaporation makes the soap harder, denser, and longer-lasting. He concludes by reassuring customers that the soap performs better with age and will not go bad, encouraging them to stock up.

Soap gets better as it ages. Our customer here had a great question. He first asked if Mojito will be retiring and I confirmed with him that yes, Mojito is one of the scents that we are going to stop making. He plans to stock up and then he asked if the soap goes bad, if it has a shelf life. We cut and cure our bars for four to six weeks and they land at about five and a half ounces. When they're freshly cut, they weigh over six ounces. So they lose a whole half ounce in a month. This weight loss is due to the curing process where water evaporates from the bar. The bar then becomes harder. It will actually contract and shrink a little bit too. But this also means that the bar is going to last longer. Since there's less water in the bar that means that the bar is less water soluble. Less water means that the soap molecules are more tightly packed better. So this ultra dense hard aged bar resists melting away and survives significantly more washes and ours being mostly made of tallow just bad to that. Tallow is a hard fat. I'm very confident that if you use one of our bars that has been sitting in your shower cabinet for over a year that it's going to last you easily two to three mon
