I prefer soap to cream so I am thinking about to transfer a tube of Noxzema or Lea cream in a jar and let it dry. Has anyone tried? With lid or without? How long I have to wait for it to solidify?
I do this all the time with La Toja cream. Squeeze into a tub, leave it open for a week or so until it becomes a bit firm to the touch, then use it.I prefer soap to cream so I am thinking about to transfer a tube of Noxzema or Lea cream in a jar and let it dry.

I know! I prefer soaps but locally I find tubes only. I have to buy soaps online. This was open and half used so I try to get it to dry.Creams do harden over time, even if you keep the lid on the container. However, if might take a couple of years. If you leave the top off to hasten that process, the scented components will evaporate along with any moisture. Thus, if you prefer soaps, my suggestion is to purchase soaps. In my experience, the best soaps are superior to creams in performance. The primary advantage of a cream is that it is convenient to use. If you allow it to harden, you have removed that advantage.
It will dry much faster and more evenly if you take the stuff out of the jar and divide it into small pieces spread out on a plate. You could set it near the air con. It will never become like a hard soap, but the texture will become more firm.I know! I prefer soaps but locally I find tubes only. I have to buy soaps online.
