Why Use Handmade, Natural Soap?
For centuries, people have been cleansing their skin and their bodies with soap. In today's society, there are myriads of soaps, cleansers, and bath & body options on the market. So, why use handmade, natural soap? Read on to discover all the benefits of natural handmade soap, including health benefits and personal benefits.
What is Soap?
Soap is the oldest cleanser around, created by a chemical reaction between oils, water, and lye (called saponification). Although lye is used to make soap, there is no lye left after the saponification process.
ALL soaps are made with the use of lye, although many different kinds of soap are made using a variety of different oils. Both animal and plant oils can be used in the soap making process, each adding different qualities to the soap.
Benefits of Natural handmade Soap
Our soap is created with all natural ingredients. Although there are quite a few factory made products on the market that claim to be all natural, the surest natural soap is handmade.
Conventional Soap | Handmade, Natural Soap |
| Can be harsh to the skin, leading to dryness and cracking | Very mild and soothing to the skin, as well as healing |
| Contains potentially harmful chemicals, which can strip away moisture and cause skin disorders | Does not contain harmful chemicals, but is often made from vegetable oils such as olive, coconut, and palm |
| Often has the essential glycerin removed and sold as a by-product for higher priced beauty products such as lotions and skin creams | Contains essential glycerin, a clear liquid that absorbs water from the air and is a key factor in keeping skin soft and healthy, especially for sensitive skin, delicate skin, or children's skin |
Those who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as people that have sensitive skin or are hypoallergenic, often find relief by switching to an all natural, chemical-free, handmade soap.
The healing properties of handmade soap include pampering for the skin, as well as relaxation for the soul.
Pampering for the Skin
The skin covers approximately 20 square feet of the adult human body, making it the largest human organ. Our skin is the body’s first line of defense against dehydration, temperature, infection, and harmful substances. Pampering your skin is not only delightful, but absolutely essential to your overall health.
Our handmade soaps are made from scratch. We only use simple, wholesome ingredients that are good for your skin. Many ingredients that go into our soaps are the same healthy ingredients you cook with everyday... olive oil, oatmeal, honey, herbs, spices...
Relaxation for the Soul
Today’s hectic lifestyles often increase the stress of everyday life, making personal time the last priority of our days. We often put aside the indulgences of a simple thing like a special bar of soap. And yet, what a difference such a simple indulgence can make! After all, everyone has to shower or bathe.
Fragrant, handmade bars of soap are a simple pleasure that foster a feeling a relaxation and pampering, but do not take an excessive amount of time. Give your skin the care it deserves, while making bathing a gentle and soothing experience. Even the quickest shower will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges ahead. And best of all, your skin will be ready too!
