Why Handmade Soap is Better Than Commercial Soap

 

Have you noticed more and more people stocking their bathrooms with gorgeous, crisp bar soaps lately? People are leaning away from the cheaper, mass- produced soaps and into handcrafted, quality soap. Why? Because they’re in on the secret - that handcrafted soap doesn’t just look and smell beautiful, the ingredients inside it are more natural and less chemically altered, and it can be used to improve your health! 

Here are a few things to consider if you’re on the fence about buying and using handmade soap. Trust us - we think you’ll like them.

Better for Your Skin and Health

Handmade soap has many skin and health benefits that are not found in mass produced soap. First, handmade soap often contains many more skin-nourishing oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil, argan oil, and avocado oil. 

These oils are great for your skin in the long term, but they also help your skin to retain its elasticity, resulting in fewer and less severe wrinkles. More elasticity and glycerin from the soaps means more skin nourishment after a long day in the sun.

They also contain many more essential oils than most mass produced soaps. Essential oils are great for your skin because they contain natural anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties. Some essential oils are also great for your health because they can improve your mood, and help you to relax, and sleep better.

Made with Natural, Wholesome Ingredients

Many people buy handmade soap because it is made from natural, wholesome ingredients. What does this mean, exactly? Well, handmade soaps are made with real, high quality organic herbs and essential oils. 

These ingredients are often harvested and distilled from plants that are grown in an organic, sustainable, and non-genetically modified environment. Which means they are straight from the Earth! This is in stark contrast to most commercially produced soap, which often use chemicals, artificial scents, and artificial coloring. As a result, handmade soap naturally smells and feels great!

Most commercial soap is made with chemicals, artificial scents, and artificial coloring. This can cause some irritation or other undesirable effects in some people post-shower.

Made and Packaged Consciously

Another reason that people buy handmade soap is because they appreciate the time and care that goes into the process of making it. Handmade soaps are usually made in small batches by one person or a small group of people. 

This means that the person making your soap is more likely to be involved in every step of the process–from the actual creating to choosing the price of the soap, to packaging it, and finally deciding how to get it in your hands - and shower.

Because each individual is involved in the entire process, it is more likely that each person involved with the company will feel that he or she is part of something bigger.

Highly Customizable

Another benefit of handmade soap is that most people can customize what they want. Handmade soaps usually have a core set of ingredients that will always be in them. However, there is usually a lot of room to customize what herbs and essential oils you want to add. 

You can choose exactly what scent you want, or you can choose certain herbs that are known to help a certain skin condition, such as eczema.

Conclusion

Handmade soap is a great choice for a variety of reasons. The best thing about it is that you can use it as a form of skin and body care. Not only does it smell great, but it is also good for your skin because of all of the natural ingredients. 

So, next time you need to buy soap, try to find a handmade soap before you choose a conventional, mass-produced soap. It feels and looks great, and can even improve your health. And best of all, these benefits are not just for body, but for your mind as well!
