Why Should I Be using All-Natural Soap?

December 6, 2022

Soap is one of the oldest cleansing products known to man and dates back to 2800 BC. The first recorded soap maker was the Babylonian king, Hammurabi. Since then, soap has been used for cleaning purposes and has evolved over time.
Soap is a salt of a fatty acid used mainly for washing and cleaning. Soap and soap-like materials that were made in Ancient Babylon consisting of water, alkali, and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC. The Ebers Papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) suggests that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like material. Natural soaps are a gentle alternative that will leave your skin feeling clean, soft, and healthy. Soap made with natural ingredients such as coconut, olive oil and goats milk moisturize and nourish your skin. Why is it so important? Because these ingredients support your skin’s pH level rather than working against it because it contains Natural glycerin which occurs in the soap making process. Most commercial soaps have their glycerin extracted and sold to other industries. This is why your skin feels dry and itchy after you use them. The glycerin in handmade soap leaves your skin silky soft! All natural soap is better for your health, the environment, and is more sustainable than chemical-based soap. Many individuals who try the all-natural soap just once never go back to chemical-based soap, and often switch to the all-natural hair products as well as cleaning products and eventually a chemical free way of life. The conclusion? Lather up and enjoy a shower that does not wash away your natural flora.
