Why choose natural soap?

Our skin is the largest organ of the body and is in constant contact with the world around us. Many commercial soaps are made with detergents and synthetic ingredients, which can sometimes be harsh or drying on skin and are often mass-produced in factories, which can generate significant waste, - having a larger environmental impact in order to speed up production and reduce costs.

Natural soap, on the other hand, are generally handcrafted in small batches with oils, chosen for their nourishing values and complimented by natural colours, scents and botanicals selected to enhance more of a gentle creamier cleanse. All aimed to create a sensory, soothing experience, letting you enjoy a touch of nature in your daily cleansing routine with far less impact on the planet.

The Glycerol benefits of natural soap

One of the key benefits of handmade cold-process soap is that it retains glycerol, a natural humectant produced during the soap-making process. Glycerol helps the skin feel soft and can contribute to a gentle, nourishing cleanse.

In many commercial soaps, this by-product is often removed to create a harder bar with a longer shelf life. The glycerol is then commonly used in other products as glycerine, such as lotions and moisturisers. By keeping glycerol in our soaps, natural bars provide a creamy, rich lather and a sensory cleansing experience that feels gentle and hydrating.
