Why is Natural handmade soaps so special?

Natural soaps are made in an old fashion. This is a very simple chemical reaction between the oils (or fats) and lye (sodium hydroxide for bars). All soap is made with lye, but there is no lye in the finished product. The chemical reaction becomes the bleach mixture of fat for glycerin. Glycerin is a natural product and as such, the relationship between the molecule of glycerin soap and means that has a cleansing with plenty of luxury foam that cleans like nothing else. As a bonus, not strip skin of its natural protective oils.

Commercially made soap usually contains detergents, fillers, chemicals, petroleum, high animal fat content (read: tallowate sodium) and irritants as SLS or SLES (read our articles on other sulfates!). Commercially soap tends to be eco-friendly like this. While commercially manufactured soap usually costs less, the impact on the skin and the environment is impressive.

The handmade natural soaps are made with natural oils, has a high content of glycerin, are better for the environment without detergents, phosphates or sulfates, and never tested on animals.

Why is Glycerin Important?

Glycerin is a humectant. It attracts moisture and gives it back to your skin. In the handmade natural soap making processes and a molecule of glycerin is created for every three soap molecules. Often commercial soap makers remove the glycerin from their soap and then sell the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. With our soaps natural, however, all natural glycerin remains intact with all its nutritional benefits to the skin.

When and how to start soap?
