What are handmade soaps?

If you still have doubts, read more to know the reasons why a handmade soap is  the best choice for your skin.

Suitable for all skin types 

Normal, dry, oily, combination, or sensitive — whatever your skin type is, natural soaps has it all covered. With mild natural ingredients, handmade soaps make sure that your skin gets all the care it needs. Cleanse, hydrate, and nourish your skin with a little pack of homemade soap. We don’t think there’s a better way to show your skin a little love.

No chemicals

As natural soaps are chemical-free, there's no fear of your skin getting irritated, itchy or troubled by rashes. You may wonder  how homemade soaps last without chemicals. The exciting fact is that there are natural alternatives for every chemical used in soaps. Sodium gluconate is a plant-based preservative that can be used instead of parabens. Your skin doesn't need really chemicals to heal. All it needs is handmade soap and a little love.


Naturally scented

Fragrance is something we always love. But did you know that the chemical formulas of these fragrances could be way beyond what our skin can  tolerate? Handmade soaps, with their natural scent, is your answer. The mild lingering smell of handmade soap is the result of natural ingredients used and not of any chemicals. So, smell good and feel good with  natural soap.

More effective and gentle cleansing

We love bathing with bubbles and lathers. And we have been made to  believe that more the lather, cleaner the skin. Here’s the bad news. Chemicals called sulfates causes lathering — and goes on to strip your skin of natural oils and leave it dry and rough. Natural soaps may not lather like regular soaps, but certainly cleanse and nourish your skin better.

No animal cruelty 

Are you aware of how commercial products (including regular soaps) get tested before they are released  in the market? The sad but true fact is that animals are the testing subjects most of the time. Handcrafted soaps, on the other hand,  are not tested on animals and do not harm them in any way. So, say no to animal testing and choose a handmade soap.
