adopt natural soap

Soap has been used for centuries for washing. It comes in solid form, but it was neglected for years in favor of liquid soaps like shower gels. The latter are easier to use and gentler on the skin, but when you really think about it, that's not really the case. Natural soap is much better, with several benefits for the skin, the environment, and convenience.

What is natural soap?

Natural soap is made from a gentle recipe with an 8% superfat content. It is excellent for softening, moisturizing, and nourishing the skin, even sensitive, reactive, and dry skin. It is even suitable for young children. It is a soap naturally rich in glycerin and made with natural ingredients. The raw materials are fatty substances (oils or fats), alkalis (caustic soda or potash), and water. These are ingredients derived from nature with nutrients beneficial to the skin. Non-volatile, mineral, or etheric oils can be used. Fats and non-volatile oils can be of animal or vegetable origin, but it is also possible that they are cultivated plants (oilseeds or nuts) or uncultivated. Given its composition and its artisanal cold-process manufacturing process, which allows for the natural production of glycerin, it is suitable for both the face and body. Cold saponification is an ancestral technique where natural soap is obtained by a chemical reaction between fatty substances and lye, thus creating detergent substances.

Why choose natural soap?

Natural soap has several advantages. It's a practical product because it can be used to wash your body, hair, and face, to shave, remove makeup, and even brush your teeth. It's very pleasant to use. It's an organic and eco-friendly product because it doesn't require a container, and this limits waste. It's generally packaged in a cardboard box, biodegradable film, or in bulk. In addition to saving space, you'll also save money. Its cold-process manufacturing requires little energy and doesn't release wastewater into the environment. Thus, its environmental impact is lower. Natural soap is also excellent for the skin because it doesn't contain synthetic fragrances or mineral oils, which are potentially allergenic, irritating, and can be absorbed by the skin and enter the bloodstream to cause skin problems. It doesn't dry out the skin in any way, as all its ingredients are gentle and safe.
