Most people do not know the difference between commercial soap and handmade soap. Some people have not even heard of handmade soap, much less, know the benefits of natural handmade soap.
Most of us have been buying commercial soap from the supermarkets all our lives, and choosing products merely based on the fragrance and after a few times of usage, we choose the ones with the most lather for a creamier bath. Little did we know that all these are merely chemicals that we are putting on our skin and bodies. These harsh soap cause very dry, scaly skin, peeling and even cracking skin. We tend to blame it on the weather, our hormones, or even on our genes, without ever knowing the real reason behind our skin problems.
Some people stop using commercial soap bars to bathe, hoping that the skin allergies would stop, and they replace the commercial soap with shower cremes, hoping for a more moisturized skin result. However, they find that their skin starts itching instead! Shower cremes are also just chemicals in liquid form. And the result is, some people with sensitive skin develop blemishes and eczema on their bodies, especially on the skin on their backs, arms and legs.
Desperate, they turn to medical doctors for a solution to their skin problems. Mostly they are given steroid creams as topical application to dry up the blemishes and eczema. But most of these leave behind unsightly scars and marks which may take months, or even years to heal and slowly fade away.
All these problems can be avoided only if they start using handmade soap, made using only natural ingredients from herbs, plants and spices, without any harmful chemicals.
It is very important to realise that commercial soap and handmade soap is vastly different, although both is called "soap", and falsely implying that both are of the same thing. Although they may look alike, and even almost smell alike, but beyond that, everything else inside is so different!
Most commercial soap have added "fragrance" or "parfum", which are made synthetically. This is the most common cause of skin ailments and disorders. Those with sensitive skin or asthmatic conditions should avoid buying products with these labels.
In handmade soap, essential oils from flowers, herbs and spices are used to give a natural aromatherapy that soothes your body. Almost all natural soap is hypoallergenic and is safe for use all over the body, including face and hair!
