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.

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

When choosing a herbal soap, carefully check the ingredients. Some soaps manufacturers may also claim to use ingredients. The ingredients that you could check are scented oil and essential oil. Scented oils are not the same thing as the essential oils and will not produce the same effect. Depending on the condition and sensitivity of your skin, suitable herbal soaps can be selected. A moisturizing soap with natural and herbal ingredients can be selected to reap the best results.

Soaps that are made using traditional cold processing techniques should be preferred as they contain and retain the nutritional value of herbs used in the manufacturing of soap.

If you have dry skin, you should select a herbal soap that has been made using Aloe Vera or honey. The herbal soaps made for dry skin generally contain coconut oil, peppermint. If you have oily skin, you should look for a herbal soap with almond oil or one that has been made using calendula oil. Our Bodia herbal soap contains both Coconut oil and Sesame oil which is suitable for all skin types. Even if you have oily skin, our herbal soaps work perfectly on your skin.
