There are many differences between natural soap and commercial, here I mention some of the reasons why you should switch to handmade.
1. Moisturising & Conditioning
Handmade soap is highly moisturising due to all the glycerine in it, on the other hand in commercial processes the glycerine is removed to make other types of skincare products or they are made with ingredients such as detergents that cause irritations on the skin.
2. Smaller impact on the environment
Natural soap is biodegradable. Since they are free of harmful substances, they are considered safe, and more environmentally friendly.
Soaps that are made using harsh chemicals, flow through your bathroom sink and are directly flown to rivers or lakes, as these chemical compounds are not easy to break down they cause a lot of pollution.
3. Healthier for your skin
The good oils and essential oils, make them healthier for your hands and beneficial for certain skin conditions such as eczema.
Handmade soaps are truly made from natural oils like coconut, avocado, calendula, and other natural resources that result in the skin being more healthy and moisturized.
4. Handmade with care, love, unique, special, and artistic
Local Handmade soaps are made with care, love, and of course better ingredients. We are making deep meaningful products that support our local economy.
5. Local t support of small independent makers and businesses and your local economy
When you support a small business you support your local families and economies and the money stays in the community. Instead, if you buy from giant corporations, you don't know where this money goes.
It makes a more sustainable economic system.
Overall, handmade soap provides a holistic approach to skincare, prioritizing natural ingredients, environmental sustainability, and artisan craftsmanship. Natural soap is also an aromatherapy experience, once you tried there is no turning back!
