This gentle, moisturizing oil is ideal for those who have dry and sensitive skin types, or anyone who likes a mild, moisturizing soap that cleans without drying out your skin. As a moisturizer, olive oil acts by drawing moisture from the air and holding it to your skin. The oil also forms a film that helps your body retain its own moisture, yet it does not prevent your skin from performing naturally healthy functions.

8 things to know about the saponified soap

1/. More eco-friendly
There are many reasons to be concerned about life on our planet. Let’s talk about plastic here: it’s a HUGE issue. Today’s consumers are becoming more aware of the amount of plastic that they bring into their homes. Liquid soaps and shampoos are packaged in plastic containers that are creating unnecessary waste.

2/. They are protecting your skin
Research has shown that frequent and correct hand-washing is the most efficient way to reduce the spread of germs and illness. Using a natural handmade soap bar will be gentle on your skin and won’t strip your skin of natural oils.

3/. They are ideal for skin microbiome
Most of the dirt and germs on your skin is trapped by skin’s oil. The sustainable soaps break the surface tension of the water and allow the water to wash it clean without irritating your skin and do not leave it dry.

4/. Cold processed
Handmade soap is produced in small amounts by using the traditional cold process method. As you have known, this method uses little equipment and that allows the soap to retain the natural glycerin which provides natural emollients for your skin.

5/. Cost-effective
Handmade soap is economical: when you keep your handmade soap on a well drained soap dish it will dry out completely between uses and will last a long time. So you just spend a little money and you can get the best soaps for your skin.

6/. They are amazing
Soaps made by hand have a luxuriously creamy and fragrant lather. The Soap Bar adds clays and botanicals to the soaps that help to increase the creaminess and silky feel of the lather. Our handmade soaps are fragranced with bespoke blends of essential oils that impart a soft and gentle fragrance to your skin.

7/. Kind to your skin
Handmade soap bars contain an ingredient that helps to retain moisture in the skin: glycerine. Which is different from commercial soaps that leave many people’s skin dry and itchy. Most commercial soaps have the glycerin removed from their composition.

8/. Free from palm oil
Our handmade soaps do not use palm oil. Our commitment is to protect the environment so we avoid using palm oil in our products.
