Numerous Benefits to Natural Handmade Soaps

Suffering from dry, itchy skin? 

Before using handmade soap

You might want to checkout the contents in the commercial soap that you are currently using.  Commercially prepared soaps contain dozens of synthetic chemicals designed to preserve the soap and provide additional cleansing properties. The problem is that this makes the soap more of a detergent than a soap, which can be damaging to your skin. 

Any solution?
The answer is "Yes" and its the old fashioned bar of Natural Handmade Soap.

What exactly is "Natural Handmade Soap?"
Natural Handmade soap is made the old-fashioned way our fore-fathers made soap with Lye, liquid and nutrient- rich plant or animal fats. As you might be alarmed - LYE! a caustic chemical! Well in soap making lye plays a very important role during the soap-making process as it neutralised the fats and create an amazing natural ingredient call "Glycerin". As a hygroscopic substance,soap manufacturers extract these high resale valued glycerin and sell it to other companies to make lotions and creams. Its only handmade soap that retains its natural glycerin that keeps your skin hydrated at all times.

As a soap maker, We take pride in every soap that we craft. We cautiously test all our recipes before putting up the rack for sale and uses premium oils that is Lab safe certify by "Eurofins Group". To ensure 100% natural handmade soap, we keep away from synthetic fragrance oil and artificial chemical colouring and uses essential oil extract from plants and natural additive colours from plants & mineral clay e.g. clay from the "Dead sea". Giving the best natural treats for your skin.

Both Bergamot and Oats are ideally suited to help clam inflamed skin, and are amazing reliever for eczema, acne and rashes. They have antiseptic properties which help ward off infection and aid recovery even for the most sensitive skin.

Bergamot(佛手柑, this fragrant citrus fruit originated from Italy, has a refreshing citrus but slightly spicy and uplifting yet mellow fragrance.  It has an invigorating effect that aids in rejuvenating dull skin. With all these beneficial properties I have added both bergamot powder and 100% bergamot essential oil in making our soap.  Double up strengthening effect toward a healthy looking skin.

Quality oil such as Almond oil, macadamia nut oil and Shea butter are use in the making of our soap. All oil have the properties of conditioning, moisturising and is soothing for the skin.

What can Sulfates do to your skin?




 
What is Sulfates (Sulphate)?
Sulfates like : Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate (SLS) is currently the primary foaming agent of Western civilization. It is usually found in combination with cocamidopropyl betaine (cocabetaine) and diethanolalamine (DEA), which itself has fallen under scrutiny of late. SLS is found in shampoos, bath gels, car washes, dish detergents, bar "soaps", laundry detergents, etc. It is a wetting and dispersing agent, emulsifier, degreaser and foamer. It also increases skin permeability roughly 100 times and is used in lotions to increase absorption of micronutrients through the skin.
Sulfates have been known to cause irritation to people who have susceptible skin, such as those with eczema. If you do suffer from eczema then one thing you could try is switching to a sulfate free natural handmade soap.
List of sulfates you will find in all bathing products are listed below, from least irritating at number 1, to most irritating, at number 5:
  1. Sodium Myreth Sulfate
  2. TEA Laureth Sulfate
  3. Sodium Laureth Sulfate
  4. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  5. Ammonia Laureth Sulfate
Why Avoid Sulfates Bathing Products?
The most popular sulfate for use in bathing products is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This is the best cleaning agent and one of the cheapest surfactants to manufacture. But a higher concentrated version of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is used to degrease engines. So if it can strip that grease off those car engines can you imagine what it does to strip from your hair and body? The answer is - All those natural oils from your body! This leads to dry and unhealthy skin.
Ever wonder why baby bathing products doesn’t sting your eyes but how painful a dollop of bathing products can be if it gets into your eyes? This is due to the sulfates in the shampoo.
There have been some studies that suggest long term exposure to sulfates can have damaging effects on our skin and hair. Although sulfates do a really good job of cleaning your hair, would you want to trade your own skin looking and feeling clean for a little while, before it goes dry, or do you use a sulphate free natural handmade soap which will not strip as much oil or even dry out your skin at the same time moisturising and nourishing your body with all the natural ingredient use in making handmade soap.
 Group of people that Should Avoid Sulfate Bathing Proudcts
  • People with eczema and sensitive.
  • Anyone with oily skin. This sounds counter intuitive. Surely someone with oily skin will want a product that strips the oil away. Unfortunately, the body will produce even more oil to replace that which has been lost. So avoiding sulfates would be a good plan for these you too.
