Why you make ask, should I buy handmade soap when I can get more soap for less money at Wal-mart or the grocery store? I used to think the very same way until I actually used a bar of handmade soap and not only saw the difference but FELT the difference. Now I hope to never use another commercially made bar of soap again.
Generally, the comercial soaps carried at most chain stores, etc. are full of chemical additives, additives that not only dry out your skin but can lead to rashes and other irritations. This is not only because of the synthetic additives in the soap but also because most soap companies take the glycerin out of their soap.
IF the soap company does put in some natural ingredients along with its synthetic ones, they do so in such small quantities as for it to be inconspicuous in the soap. Its main purpose is to catch the eye of the consumer and give them the illusion that this soap is more natural. If you read the ingredient labels though, the soap is still primarily made with synthetic ingredients.
Using commercial soaps over time leave your skin dried out, sensitive and feeling like its never clean. Natural handmade soap, that only uses natural ingredients, can restore the moisture to your skin, while still getting you clean. You will be amazed at the difference!
What is Handmade Soap?
Handmade soap is a cleanser made with simple ingredients that are good for your skin. In the handcrafted soap making process, oils and fats are combined with lye to produce soap and glycerin. Modern soap is still made by this basic process, but a handcrafted soap offers many unique benefits for your skin.
Handcrafted Soap is made by combining oils or fats with lye and water. The resulting reaction creates soap and glycerin. Soap cleanses the skin while glycerin moisturizes it. Many handmade soaps also contain butters and other oils to increase the moisturizing effect of the sooap and herbs and other natural items for an exfoliant.
