Why handmade soap is best. ...once you've had handmade you'll never go back!!! "Commercial soap manufacturers make it a practice to remove the glycerine that is produced during the saponification (soap-making) process. The glycerine is a highly profitable substance, often sold to other companies who use it to make lotions and moisturisers, which your skin, now dried out from the harsh detergent 's

oap,' desperately needs. Most commercially produced bars contain synthetic lathering agents, artificial colours, and a slew of chemicals we can't even pronounce. Antibacterial and antimicrobial soaps often contain triclosan. Triclosan is a toxic chemical that is known to cause cancer. Always remember that your skin is porous and absorbent. It absorbs whatever it comes in contact with, much the same as sticking something in your mouth. Chronic use of chemical laden products will cause the body to store the chemicals in the body fat or even in the brain. With enough accumulations of toxins in the body, illness can occur. These nasty chemicals and toxins are now finding their way into our eco-system. Every time that lather goes down the drain, those pollutants are going with it. Cold process soap bars are made using a combination of oils or fats and lye. Lye sounds a little scary, but all the caustic qualities of the lye are removed during the saponification process. When the lye interacts with the oils or fats, it creates glycerine. The type of oils and fats used make a difference in how hard or soft the soap bar ends up being, and how well it lathers. With handmade soaps, just like with commercially manufactured bars, you need to read the labels. You want to find soaps that use only pure, oils or fats. Another nice ingredient to find in your soaps is clay. Clay is often used to increase lather in soap bars. It has the added benefit of being a natural detoxifier. Clay binds with and removes toxins from your body, and it's extremely eco-friendly. To sum it up, the best soap for your skin and our planet is a handmade cold process soap bar. you'll never again be satisfied with 'store-bought' bars.
