Discover the Power of Natural Soap

I’ve been making  all-natural, plant-based, cold process soap from scratch for over 26 years. Here’s why handmade soap bar is a better choice for you and for the planet….

THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO CLEAN OFF ACCUMULATED OILS, DIRT, AND GERMS

Your skin makes a lightly acidic secretion to help protect itself. This is called the Acid Mantle. Because it is acidic, the most effective way to clean it off, along with excess oils, dirt and germs, is using an alkaline foaming system (soap!). Handmade natural cold process soaps usually have an alkaline pH between 9.0 and 10.0. This is ideal for the job. Many mass produced soaps, many of which are synthetic detergents, have pH values between 5.0 and 7.0 (acidic to neutral) (Takagi Y., et al., Pub Med).

Why does soap work so well on the new coronavirus and, indeed, most viruses?

When outbreaks like COVID-19 occur and panic sets in, people rush to buy all sorts of chemical cleaners. Soap works better than alcohol and disinfectants at destroying the structure of viruses. A chemistry professor explains: why soap is so good at killing COVID-19?

"Soap contains fat-like compounds, which are similar to the lipids found in the virus membrane. When soap comes into contact with these fatty substances, it binds with them and causes them to disconnect from the virus. Keep your hands clean by regularly lathering up with soap and water. Soap is one of the most effective ways to get rid of COVID-19. Soap dissolves the fat membrane, and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and “dies,” or rather, it becomes inactive" (Palli Thordarson, World Economic Forum).

REFRESHING CHANGE FROM THE KNOWN PRACTICES WHERE PRODUCTS ARE FILLED WITH FILLERS MAN MADE INGREDIENTS (NO LIFE FORCE) 

Natural soap doesn’t contain any synthetic ingredients, which can be absorbed by the skin and sometimes get into the bloodstream causing problems. The skin is our body’s largest organ, what we put on it will naturally be absorbed into our body and therefore have an impact on our overall wellness. Truly natural handmade soaps are always free of parabens, phthalates, allergens, synthetic dyes, or synthetic fragrances, as there are no preservatives added to handmade soaps. It is true the body responds to natural ingredients compared to synthetic; man made constituents.

HAVE A NATURALLY HIGH GLYCERIN CONTENT AND CLEANSES SKIN WITHOUT STRIPPING IT OF NATURAL MOISTURE

A well formulated natural soap has superior cleansing and foaming properties. At the same time, it will not irritate and dry the skin as it contains a high amount of vegetable glycerin coming naturally from the oils. Natural Glycerin helps improve your skin’s moisture balance by attracting external moisture and holding the moisture on your skin, without interfering with the skin’s natural functions. A high glycerin content is proven to leave a smooth skin feel. Glycerin is created during the soap making process. Handmade soaps retain all of its natural glycerin glory and produce a rich and luxurious lather. Large-scale, commercial soap companies remove the glycerin molecules to make a harder bar, and make room for other chemical additives.

SOAP IS MILDER ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Soaps are packaged in eco-friendly, handmade paper, which means no plastic bottles to pollute our environment. All natural soap bars are so much better for our environment & planet, not only as they don’t contain dreaded chemicals that are extremely harmful to our marine life, but the amount of waste that plastic soap & shampoo bottles create (in 2017 one million plastic bottles were purchased every minute worldwide). The soap bars, which are equivalent to three medium sized bottles, eliminate the need for plastic packaging, the wasteful short-use plastic items. They’re the perfect proof that things don’t have to come in bottles to serve a purpose. When the substances are used responsibly the risk to the surrounding environment is lower. What is more according to researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, bar soap requires one-fifth of the energy to produce compared to liquid soap. Hand-washing with bar soap overall proves to be preferential to liquid soap for all indicators studied (Melissa C. Lott, Scientific American).

HEALING PROPERTIES OF PURE NATURAL INGREDIENTS NOURISH AND SOOTHE YOUR SKIN. LETS TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S INSIDE:

Healthy Plant Oils: soaps contain a high percentage of luxury protein rich plant oils for real natural skin benefits. Vegetable oils help to nourish & moisturize skin bringing it back to its natural balance. Oils combination contains ultra hydrating and skin benefiting properties that both cleanse and re-balance complexion.

Truly Pure Essential Oils: essential oils are concentrated plant medicines to free the mind via smell & nurturing to the skin. When essential oils are applied to human skin, they carry the same healing force as they do to the plant. Essential oils are so highly concentrated, they are at least 50 times more therapeutically potent than the plant itself. The soaps are created with pure therapeutic essential oils that first through smell nurture the limbic system inviting relaxed breathe & cleaning the skin deeply.

100% Natural, Mineral-Rich Clays: clays are negatively charged minerals, and when applied to your skin, do an exchange of removing impurities aka toxins, chemicals, bacteria from your skin and leaving behind minerals. The high adsorption and absorption capacities, cation exchange capacity, as well as the extremely fine particle size of clay minerals are important reasons why these minerals are used to remove oils, secretions, toxins, and contaminants from the skin.
