​Why should you choose handmade soap?
​
There are more reasons why one would choose handcrafted soap over a commercial one. Here are some we find important.
​
-
Handmade soap is real soap.
We talked previously about how commercial soap isn’t exactly soap. Well, that’s because they are not – if you take a closer look at their labels, you’ll find out that they’re named “body bars,” “cleansing bars,” or other similar names. Regardless of how they’re labeled, these soaps are detergents. They’re good for cleaning but may cause irritation for those with sensitive skin.
Alternatively, handmade soap is actually soap. It is made from organic ingredients, oils, and lye, and instead of being produced in mass quantities, it is actually made one batch at a time and is given enough time to cure. Thanks to this, the natural oils can produce glycerin, which gives handmade soap its moisturizing effect.
​
2. Presence of Glycerin
Glycerin or glycerol is an important ingredient in cosmetic products. It is responsible for keeping your skin moisturized, as it naturally attracts water. After taking a shower or a bath while using handmade soap, you’ll be able to enjoy moisturized and clearer skin in the long term. And since glycerin is present with handmade soaps, the choice is easy.
​
3. Higher quality
Handmade soaps are often of higher quality than commercial soaps. The artisan thoroughly processes each batch, which means they receive enough attention to acquire their final shape. Furthermore, natural ingredients and high-quality ingredients make them better than commercial soaps.
​
4. It’s biodegradable
We’ve touched on this subject earlier, so it should be on the list. Natural soap is made with natural ingredients. Since it doesn’t contain synthetic ingredients, you can be sure it’s 100% biodegradable. Also, these soaps do not cause harm to the environment.
​
5. It contains natural oils
Commercial soaps do contain oils, but since they’re heavily processed, they end up being nothing more than a cocktail of chemicals that will only dry your skin out. However, handmade soaps are carefully processed in small batches containing different oils, which increases overall quality.
​
6. Aromatherapy
Natural soaps contain pure essential oils, which means they have excellent aromatherapeutic properties that can help you relax and feel better.
Essential oils have been proved to have different benefits besides giving a nice smell. For instance, some scents are known to help you reduce stress or regain some of your strength back after a long tiring day.
​
7. It helps you maintain your skin in good condition
Many people have experienced exceptional skin benefits after using natural soaps for an extended period of time. These soaps are especially helpful for people who suffer from certain skin conditions, like psoriasis, dermatitis, or even acne. But not all soaps are made equal, so some soap may be beneficial against dermatitis while others would not.
​
8. It can help you save money
Commercial soap doesn’t contain glycerin, oils, or other similar ingredients because all of these ingredients will diminish its shelf-life. This is actually an incentive to make you buy different products so that your skin stays moisturized and healthy. You will end up spending more money over time if you choose to stick to commercial soap.
Even if natural soap has a higher cost, it’s still the best and cheaper option in the long run.
​
9. You’re supporting a small business
If you decide to purchase natural soap, you’re helping out a small vendor. Most people involved in the soapmaking community have a social conscience, which means they will likely follow ethical practices to select their ingredients and manufacture their soaps.
Buying handmade soap encourages many positive ideas that can help you make a difference in today’s world. You’ll be contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle and your health overall.
