Why use handmade soap?
The benefits of using handmade soap are many. Natural handmade soaps
are made with natural oils, have a high glycerin content, are better for the
environment with no detergents or phosphates, and are never tested on
animals.
More natural. Handmade soaps are made with natural ingredients, not
petro-chemicals or cheap additives. Handmade soap has a naturally
occurring glycerin which is known to be beneficial to the skin. Many soap
manufacturers remove this valuable glycerin. You get this skin loving
glycerin in the handmade soap process - Almost like getting a 2 for 1.
Skin is the largest human organ and is the bodies first line of defense
against dehydration, temperature, infection and harmful substances.
Handmade soaps give your skin the care it deserves and make bathing a
gentle, soothing experience.
Why you SHOULDN'T use Store Bought Soap.
Commercially made soap usually contains detergents, fillers, chemicals,
petroleum, high animal fat content, and irritants. Commercially made soap
tends to be less eco friendly as well. While commercially manufactured soap
usually costs less, the impact on your skin and the environment is less than
desirable.
Most soaps available in the store today are not really soaps at all, but
detergents. Detergents are a petroleum based product, like gasoline and
kerosene. Detergents tend to leave your skin feeling dry, itchy and tight.
Alkali, the most common irritant in soap is most often blamed for this effect.
Other ingredients in mass-marketed soap have been proven harmful to
human health and can cause severe skin irritations in some people. These
include ingredients such as DEA, Isopropyl Alcohol, BHT and Triclosan
(commonly found in anti-bacterial soap). The most common ingredient in
conventional bar soaps is sodium tallowate. It is the natural product of
combining tallow, or beef fat, with lye. Tallow processes quickly, produces a
harder bar of soap and is cheap and plentiful making it attractive for mass
producing and marketing conventional soap.
