We don't often think about how we got started in soap-making, or why we wanted to make the best soap. However, that doesn't mean we haven't thought about it. We decided to go with it immediately, and have not looked back since. If you're not sure about the ingredients in your skincare products then this article might help you.
A Brief Introduction To Organic Soap
What is the most important benefit of Organic soaps? It has natural ingredients, such as plant-derived bases oils, glycerin, and essential oils. However, synthetic mass-market soap uses a petroleum-based lathering agent, synthetic fragrances, and harsh dyes. Organic soap is often preferred by customers because it causes less irritation and can sometimes improve skin conditions like eczema or acne.
Organic soap is better for you than it is for others. It is more sustainable because the production of its ingredients has a smaller environmental impact. Also, the ingredients can be easily broken down and cause less damage after they are disposed of. Organic soap is safer for animals as its ingredients have been proven safe and no animal testing has to be done. Organic soap is more sustainable for the local economy. It is often made by small-scale, local producers so that all the money spent on it stays in the area.
What Is Organic Soap?
The natural soap base is made up of oils, fats or oils, water, and lye. It can also contain essential oils and natural colors. Organic soap has the additional benefit of using ingredients from organic farming practices. This means that they are not made with pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Organic soap is natural soap. But it's also one step more.
Base Oils
Organic soap is made of natural ingredients. In most cases, these ingredients are organically farmed. The base oils are the main ingredient in soap bars. Base oils are the same ones that we use to make soap. You can eat it, but it is safe to apply to your skin. We used palm oil in the past but have decided to phase it out due to the huge environmental damage that it causes.
Essential Oil
Our soap also contains essential oil. Essential oils are volatile and fragrant compounds found in plants. The majority of essential oils are extracted from food items such as herbs and citrus fruits. Lemon essential oil is one example of the essential oils we use, as well as rosemary essential oil. Experts warn against using essential oils directly on the skin. It can cause skin irritation and is extremely concentrated. But essential oil mixed with another oil is perfectly fine.
Glycerin
Glycerin is also found in most organic soaps. Glycerin comes from the soap-making process. Glycerin is a natural product of the soap-making process. Some soap-makers make large batches and sell them to other soap makers. Glycerin, which is found in soap bars, acts as a moisturizer, or substance that draws moisture from the air into the skin. Aloe vera gel and honey are natural humectants.
