Natural Soaps -Why Your Skin Deserves Better: The Hidden Dangers of Commercial Soaps

Your skin is your body's largest organ, absorbing much of what you put on it. Yet many commercial soaps contain harsh chemicals that can disrupt your skin's natural balance and potentially harm your health. Understanding what's really in your soap is the first step toward healthier skin and a healthier you.

The Chemical Culprits

Most commercial soaps contain sulfates like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), which create that familiar foamy lather but strip away your skin's natural protective oils. This leaves your skin dry, irritated, and vulnerable to environmental damage. These harsh detergents can also cause micro-tears in your skin barrier, leading to increased sensitivity and premature aging.

Parabens, used as preservatives in many commercial products, have been linked to hormone disruption and can accumulate in your body over time. Phthalates, which help fragrances last longer, are known endocrine disruptors that can interfere with your body's natural hormone production.

Nature's Gentle Alternative

Natural handmade soaps offer a completely different approach. Instead of harsh chemicals, they rely on gentle, plant-based ingredients that work with your skin's natural processes. Organic oils like sunflower and coconut naturally cleanse while providing essential fatty acids that nourish and protect your skin.

The 8-week curing process used in our traditional soap-making allows the ingredients to fully saponify, creating a mild, long-lasting bar that's gentle enough for daily use. This slow process also ensures that beneficial glycerin - often removed from commercial soaps - remains in the bar to provide natural moisturising properties.
