Artisan Handcrafted Soap
Bathing soaps are an integral component of daily life and help maintain cleanliness. Organic soaps are bathing soaps that are made with wholly organic substances and tend to be home-made or made in small quantities and not in bulk like mass-produced soaps.
Organic soaps are mostly made by hand.
In such circumstances the quality of the soap manufactured is claimed to be better than mass produced soaps. The ingredients in organic soaps being all natural claim to help better nourish our skins, keep it healthier and generally have a better fragrance.
It’s Real Soap!
For a cleanser to be considered soap, it has to be made of fats and oils or fatty acids. Non-soap cleansers, also called synthetic detergents, or syndets for short, consist either partially or entirely of synthetic ingredients instead. Syndet bars cannot be called soap and therefore can be spotted easily as they are called beauty bars, cleansing bars or similar.
Superior Ingredients
My handmade soap, firstly, is made with love as I really care about each and every single batch that I create. My ingredients include olive oil, which is gentle and kind to the skin, blended with vitamin E oil, castor oil, and coconut oil to create a luxurious and creamy bar with a lovely lather.
Most commercially produced soap is not soap at all but chemical detergents, or a mixture of detergents and soap. And many, if not all, contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) which is a known skin irritant and it may even cause dermatitis. If you have sensitive skin then this is an ingredient that you should definitely avoid.
Glycerine
A bi-product of creating soap is glycerin which is naturally moisturizing. The glycerin is usually removed by commercial soap producers and sold to the cosmetics industry. However, the glycerin is retained in my handmade soap as it is kind to skin.
Hot and Cold Process
This is a traditional technique of soap making where the oils and butters are gently heated just enough to melt them and start the saponification process. Other techniques involve higher temperatures to speed up the saponification process but keeping the temperatures low retains the properties of the oils and butters.
