The Benefits of Homemade and Handmade Natural Soap

True soap is very basic. It consists of oils, lye, and water. Glycerin is created during the process of making handmade soap, also called saponification. That’s all that is needed to cleanse the body properly without disrupting the pH levels of the skin.

More and more people are opting for cleaner, eco-friendly skin care options. We want to know and control what we are putting on our bodies. Skin is our largest organ, and everything that touches it gets filtered through our liver. Almost all or most homemade soap ingredients can be read in one breath, and you’ll know exactly how the product is sourced, how it is made, and what you are absorbing.

Homemade soap is just a better choice when it comes to cleansing your skin

Since homemade soap is often crafted in small kitchens or small shops, ingredients are most often sourced and disposed of responsibly and not tested on animals. Even if you have to ask how it is made, you’ll get a good honest answer.

Why would you want to support a company that mistreats and tortures innocent animals? Especially when those tests are inconclusive. Do you really need to know that soap squirted into a rabbit’s eye hurts? Of course, that would hurt. Tests like that teach us nothing other than to hurt another living creature. If you want to buy handmade soap that is also vegan-friendly, look for soaps that don’t contain tallow.

Nothing beats natural soap that’s 100% handcrafted, made with love and care in small batches, chemical-free, cruelty-free, and vegan!

Glycerin is a compound that naturally occurs during the saponification process of making homemade soap. It is retained in the finished product. Glycerin, like honey, is a natural humectant. It helps retain moisture in the skin. There is lots of glycerin in handmade soap, which makes it naturally hydrating. Glycerin is responsible for keeping your skin plump and moist for long periods of time.

Mass-produced chemical-based soap removes glycerin during the production process and sells that off to other manufacturers to be put into skin lotions.

Thousands of people love to make soap, myself included. As with any craft or trade, we take great pride in our products and creations. We put a lot of research and work into the final recipe. When you buy soap from a local maker, you are supporting a local business — in many cases, a woman-owned local business! And it’s easy to find a local maker online, at a craft fair, or at a farmer’s market.

You will never get bored with homemade soap options. Ever. It’s not possible. There are no limitations to the recipes that can be created, and most soap makers will be willing to make custom blends if asked. No matter your skin type or preferences, someone out there is making soap with your name written all over it.

Almost anything can be added to create the perfect bar of soap for your skin

There literally is no end to what can be created, and that will be much more gentle and more nourishing for your skin and health.
