How is handcrafted soap different from the commercial name brand soaps bought at the super market?
Most commercial soaps are mass-produced via the continuous process using inexpensive rendered animal fats such as beef tallow or lard. To further cut their production cost, many manufacturers use an alarming list of synthetic detergents and petroleum based chemicals to extend, preserve and enhance their product. Read the labels and you will notice that most are not soap at all, they are actually synthetic bars of detergent. To cut cost even more, manufacturers extract the natural humectant, glycerin, during the process. It is then sold as a by-product to other industries for profit, and replaced with synthetic additives leaving the consumer more often that not with dry, itchy skin that feels tight. Remember this…True soap is not detergent and true soap does not need to be “enhanced”! Our soap is made in small batches using the highest quality vegetable oils available. The naturally occurring glycerin remains in finished soap leaving you with pure natural soap.
