You visit a supermarket, and you will be spoilt for choice with the number of soaps piled up on the racks. Soaps for fairness, skin brightening, and eliminating odor comes with all promises.
Interestingly, soaps have been around since 2800 BC in Ancient Babylon, and historians mention that they had found an entire soap factory among the ruins of Pompeii. Soaps for mass consumption at an affordable cost were available from 1800.
Though soaps look similar, all of them are not the same. But it is not easy for a regular consumer to find out the difference and make an informed decision. Here, look at what makes handmade bathing bars superior to commercial soaps.
Natural moisturizers
You can see loads of commercial soaps in supermarkets and stores. They all have foaming, chemical hardening, and artificial fragrances. However, commercial soaps contain parabens, SLS, SLES, triclosan, and Cocamidopropyl betaine, which are harmful to the skin and body.
Handmade soaps often contain natural skin emollients like glycerine. Earth Mantraa Handmade Bathing Bars use only natural ingredients at 100% cold-pressed coconut oil.
In commercial soaps, the amount of glycerine is much less, and you might have to buy a moisturizer to take care of your skin’s moisture content.
Say no to chemical fragrances
Commercial soaps often smell good because they use chemicals to create an artificial scent. Such soaps are usually found to be harmful to the skin by making it dry and itchy.
However, handmade soaps use essential oils for the smell. They are gentle on the skin, have a natural scent, and offer some therapeutic goodness.
The commercial soaps are like a chemical cocktail made of detergents and synthetics. Alarmingly, some of the soap’s ingredients are considered cancerous.
Small is beautiful
Commercial soaps are made in considerable quantities in big manufacturing factories. Handmade soaps are made in small batches, and it’s a more time-consuming process. Earth Mantraa Handmade Bathing Bars are made with care using natural colors from herbs, cold-pressed coconut oil, and essential oils.
Handmade soap retains the beneficial qualities of oils. Organic cold-pressed coconut oil is saponified to make them. The nutrients are retained while making soap; hence, Earth Mantraa Handmade Bathing Bars have intact vitamins, minerals, and skin-loving properties.
Environmental friendly
Handmade soaps are pretty biodegradable than their antibacterial equivalents. Since handmade soaps do not contain synthetic chemicals, they are considered environmentally friendly.
Commercial soaps hurt the environment as they contain synthetic and chemical detergents that are non-biodegradable.
There is increasing awareness of the goodness of handmade soaps as people try to get back to basics from the commercial world. Today’s generation is more educated and makes informed choices when buying products that affect their health.
