Take a look at the bright colorful packaging of soap the next time your at the grocery store. Look at the labels. The  majority of the products on the shelf don't say 'soap' on their labels. They might be called beauty bars, moisturizing bars, or body bars, but not soap. That's because these bars aren't actually soap and can't legally claim to be; they're detergents. The manufacturers have removed most of the 'good' stuff that occurs in the soap making process, and replaced it with synthetic lathering agents and harsh chemicals. These cheap detergent bars are not only bad for your skin, but they're also bad for the planet, too.

Why is commercial soap so bad?

Commercial soap manufacturers make it a practice to remove the glycerin that is produced during the saponification (soap-making) process. The glycerin is a highly profitable substance, often sold to other companies who use it to make lotions and moisturizers, which your skin, now dried out from the harsh detergent soap, desperately needs.

Most commercially produced bars contain synthetic lathering agents, artificial colors, and a slew of chemicals we can't even pronounce.
 

 

Those who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as people who have sensitive skin or are hypoallergenic often find immediate relief by switching to handmade natural soap.

Sometimes people with sensitive skin believe they cannot use soap. The problem isn’t with soap, it is commercial soaps that have removed all the natural glycerin, or the shower gels that are in fact chemical detergents, not soap.
