Why Natural Soap is Better for Your Skin

Updated: Aug 24, 2022



Feeling good in your skin begins and ends with proper care, and when it comes to your body, not just any old product will do. After all, you only have one set of skin and it’s important to take care of it. Soaps that contain high-quality ingredients are essential to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Some people claim natural vegan handmade soap is the best option for a smooth, beautiful complexion, while large-scale commercial brands maintain their products are the best. So, what’s the truth? Obviously, as a natural soap company, we’re interested in keeping up with both sides of the debate so we can ensure our products remain excellent and beneficial. Let’s cover some of the basics below!


Organic Handmade Soap Vs. Commercial Brands


When we talk about organic and natural soaps, we’re speaking of products with natural ingredients–which means straight from nature. Organic handmade soaps are composed of real ingredients derived from natural substances. These can include natural dyes and fats, water, and essential oils. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and it’s crucial to rejuvenate it with plant-based components, as opposed to the toxic chemicals sometimes found in other products.


Not all commercial soap products are harmful, but it’s always a good idea to read up on the benefits and concerns that may surround any health or cleanliness product.


The first thing you should note is that commercial soap brands are mass-produced, meaning that companies aim to make their product as quickly and cheaply as possible. Sometimes, this may mean they cut corners to maximize production. Commercialized care products may contain harmful chemicals like parabens, fragrance, 4-dioxane, sodium lauryl sulfate, and triclosan. Many of these ingredients have not been thoroughly studied to prove safe for long-term use. How scary is that?


Benefits Of Natural Skincare Products


There are many reasons why natural vegan handmade soap is the way to go for all your skin care needs. Here are just a few of the many benefits you can enjoy!


No Preservatives


Because commercial brands manufacture their products in large quantities, preservatives are added to ensure long shelf life. While this may seem reasonable, studies link many preservatives to severe health issues. Some of these include skin irritation, negative effects on fertility, and endocrine disruption. Organic handmade soaps either contain natural preservatives or none at all, limiting the health issues that may arise when you choose a commercial soap product.


Antibacterial Properties


Natural soap products utilize essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, and lavender, which have natural antibacterial properties. Commercial products often contain toxic chemicals to increase antibacterial effects–but studies have shown they can also disrupt hormones and increase the risk of certain types of cancer.


Antioxidants


Antioxidant properties found in organic soaps work to repair damaged skin, minimizing inflammation and resulting in a fresh complexion. Antioxidants may be the key to slowing the appearance of aging on your skin.


Variety


Natural skincare products are often manufactured in small batches, meaning the possibilities are endless! It’s also easier to custom make new products because there is no need to obtain expensive equipment or a large batch of ingredients. This means the odds of finding your ideal fragrance and texture are often much greater when you browse the inventory of small businesses. When it comes to natural vegan handmade soap, it seems there is something for everyone.


Ideal for Sensitive Skin Conditions


For people with conditions such as contact dermatitis (eczema), organic soap is the best solution for taking care of your sensitive skin! The chemicals and synthetic fragrances found in drugstore brands often cause that red, scaly rash that drives you up the wall. Gentle ingredients with low pH levels and natural scents are the answer to reducing allergens and uncomfortable symptoms. Check out our natural skincare products for eczema, made with you in mind!


Time To Go Natural


Are you convinced now? Natural skincare products are the answer to finding the complexion of your dreams. Start showing your skin some love by using soap with organic ingredients that you and your body will love!
