Reasons to Buy Cold-Process Soap

Posted by Jamie Goulas on

How we treat our skin can have an impact on our over-all wellbeing. We are surrounded by toxic chemicals every day that can be drawn in through the skin. Most conventional “beauty bars” are filled with detergents that strip away any natural benefits. 

REASONS TO USE ALL NATURAL SOAP BARS:

1.  Handmade soap is actual soap, unlike the detergent bars sold in your local store. 

      soap: a substance used with water for washing and cleaning, made of a compound of natural oils or fats with sodium hydroxide or another strong alkali

2.  Natural soaps have an amazing lather and are moisturizing. Nature’s ingredients make for much richer soaps than synthetics used in conventional bars because they are made with Plant Oils and Butters. Homemade soaps do not contain synthetic additives to boost their richness, natural soap is a natural surfactant, which helps clean oily dirt from your skin.

3. Handmade soap retains their natural Glycerin. After saponification, the chemicals have changed into soap, glycerin and some remaining water. (Saponification the process which involves the conversion of fats/oils into soap by the reaction of an alkali). Glycerin is a humectant, which means it attracts moisture and draws it deep into your skin to keep it hydrated. 

4. Handmade soaps can provide aromatherapy. Many handmade soaps are made with essential oils.  Essential Oils can help with stress and anxiety to invigorating your spirit.

5. There is a uniqueness to handmade soaps. Making soap is both a science and an art.  We take pride in our unique soap recipes, custom-made, custom-scented soaps that cater to all people and all skin types.
