What you need to know about organic handmade soap

Discover organic artisanal soap

Long forgotten, the soap block is once again finding its place in bathrooms for the sake of our planet and our health. Natural raw materials, multiple benefits for the skin and reduced packaging are among the strong arguments for organic artisanal soap . It is increasingly adopted by consumers who are now more responsible about their consumption patterns.

The difference between organic handmade soap and industrial soap

While the appearance of solid soaps is the same, it must be admitted that they do not have the same benefits due to their manufacturing process: artisanal, industrial, and semi-artisanal. The industrial hot method involves the manufacture of balls. The ingredients are used in large quantities, and the fat is a low-quality and cheap oil. Generally, it is palm oil or animal fats. As for lye, it is also in large quantities. To accelerate the chemical reaction, the fat and lye mixture is heated to a high temperature: 100 °C for hours or even days. Regarding glycerin, it leaves with the salt water rinse to remove the excess lye. For semi-industrial manufacturing, the main ingredient is the ball from an industrial process. It is melted and kneaded with a small amount of additives (perfumes, colorants, vegetable oils, essential oils, vegetable or synthetic glycerin, and synthetic agents). The work is robotized on a large scale by mixer-extruders or done by hand in pots. The bungs are economical and easily accessible, and their use does not involve handling soda and oil, and this saves time and production costs. These are therefore fake artisanal soaps, unlike organic artisanal soap which is obtained by chemical reaction between the body and the soda. The mixture is done at low temperature so the ingredients retain all their qualities.
