Did you know the bath soap you buy in the supermarket is not soap? It's detergent.
Detergents were developed during the Second World War because of a shortage
of true soap for the armed forces. Detergents are petroleum products, like gasoline
and kerosene. Detergents strip the oils from your skin along with the dirt. That's why
your skin feels dry and somewhat uncomfortable after bathing with supermarket
bath bars. The list of ingredients in those supermarket bars almost requires a
chemistry degree to read.
One of the ways around this uncomfortable dryness is to use true soap made by
hand-crafted soapmakers. Hand-crafted soaps are made from natural oils, such
as olive, coconut, palm, and often contain combinations of natural additives, such
as herbs, teas, oatmeal, honey, milk, and flower blossoms. Anyone can read and
understand the ingredient list of hand-crafted soaps. Hand-crafted soaps gently lift
the dirt on you skin into suspension, releasing, not ripping, the dirt so it can be
washed away. Hand-crafted soaps leave moisturizing soothing oils behind. Hand-crafted soaps make bathing a gentle, soothing experience for your body.
Things made "with the personal touch" are more likely to be crafted carefully and
of higher quality. "Assembly-line work" means assembly-line quality--and we all
know about THAT.
It is (or can be) all "natural", all veggie, nothing even potentially toxic that can and
does soak through skin, especially with prolonged use. Just think of all the
healing, softening, protective ingredients that are a part of it! Milk, honey,
lavender, beeswax, Calendula oil, you can't get that stuff in commercial soap.
Our soaps can be custom-tailored to the user's needs and preferences,
relatively inexpensively. Where else can you get that kind of personal
pampering? And for the price of a bar of soap?!
