Chapter 1: Why You Should Make Your Own Soap

Store-bought Soap is not Real Soap.
Soaps bought from the store may look nice and pretty. They may smell amazing too. However, the majority of the products on the shelf don't actually even say "soap" on their labels, if you look closely on the package. Instead, they might be called beauty bars , moisturizing bars , or body bars , but not "soap". Why? That's because these bars really aren't soap and it is illegal for them to claim to be; they're detergents .

Store-bought Soap contains harmful chemicals. The manufacturers have removed most of the good, natural stuff that occurs in the soap making process, and replaced it with synthetic lathering agents and harsh chemicals. These cheap, plentiful detergent bars are not only bad for your skin, but they're also bad for the earth, too.

Handmade Soap is good for everyone.
The best soap for your skin and our planet is a handmade, organic, all-natural cold-process soap bar. Once you've tried one of these lathery treasures, you'll never again be satisfied with store-bought bars. So do yourself and your world a big favor and start using REAL soap.
