Why does the quality of your soap matter?
Soap is a daily essential. It is such a basic and common product that we don’t even pay too much attention to it. It is just soap, right? Not really. Soap is a product that we use every single day. We put it on our biggest organ - the skin, which absorbs it and brings it inside our bodies. We definietly should pay attention to the quality of soap we use because it significantly impacts our skin health.
The Science Behind Soap?
Soap is a product designed to clean the skin by removing dirt, oil, and other impurities. It is a mixture of fats, oils, and an alkali, typically lye. When these ingredients are combined, a chemical reaction called saponification occurs, resulting in soap.
In SOPAHAUS, you will find soap that is made with the technique called cold-process. This kind of soap is often called artisan soap or true soap. I created my original formulas based on olive oil with the addition of high-quality butters like shea butter, mango seed butter, and cocoa butter. Those plant fats make my soaps gentle and moisturizing for the skin, and yes, they are all vegan.
Natural Soap Wins Over Commercial Soap.
Not all soaps are created equal. Commercial soap that we usually find in stores is often made with harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances that can lead to skin irritation and dryness. These chemicals can strip the natural oils from our skin, leading to many skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
We don't want any of that. We want soap that will protect and nourish our skin on a daily basis. That is what natural soap does. Using natural soap is a simple way to promote healthy skin. The natural ingredients are very gentle, making it suitable for people with sensitive complexion.
Your Choices Matter For The Planet.
Moreover, natural soap is also eco-friendly as it does not contain any harmful chemicals that can pollute the environment. They are usually packed in sustainable, plastic-free materials. In SOAPHAUS, I use biodegradable cellulose wraps and paper bands. Our daily choices matter for the planet, and choosing recyclable or zero-waste packaging is one of the easy changes we can make.
Why Choose Natural Soap?
There are so many reasons why we should use natural soap. Choosing the right soap can help improve your skin condition and provide essential fatty acids and vitamins.
I, of course, recommend SOAPHAUS as a company that offers all-natural, vegan soap made of high-quality, gentle, and eco-friendly ingredients.
