What are the benefits of natural soap?

Natural soap is produced using the same methods that were developed hundreds of years.  We have refined the ingredients and have many more beautiful natural additives that we can now use, but the process is still the same.  True soap is always natural – supermarket soap is actually solid chemical detergent – it contains natural oils and butters, either animal of plant derived.  Natural soap is saponified using a strong alkaline which is neutralised by the oils and butters and produces a hard bar of soap.  There are many benefits of natural soap, some of which are explained below.  The biggest benefit however, is that using natural soap can reduce the chemical load that your body is exposed to.  Unlike commercial soaps which contains synthetic lather elements, artificial colors and harsh chemicals, handmade natural soaps usually contain only plant derived substances.  These substances are so much less likely to cause irritation of rednedd when being used.  Our skin is very absorbent.  The skin obsorbs everything put on it – usually within seconds.  So, if you wouldn’t eat it, you shouldn’t be putting it on your skin.

It doesn’t end there though – check out these benefits of natural soap.
