Soap is soap, right? Well, maybe in that they all clean, but handmade soap is rich in the one ingredient that makes a big difference to your skin; glycerin.
Handmade soap is full of glycerin, a natural result of the soap making process, but glycerin has been removed from commercial soap so they can sell it for use in other cosmetic products. (You know after you've dried your skin out from their soap, they will then sell you another product to moisturize. Tricky, eh?)
We use skin loving ingredients that moisturize your skin instead of drying it out. Such as olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil and more! Give handmade soap a try and see the difference!
If you were wondering about my different formulations of soap I make here is a rundown...
Goat Milk Soap: This is my favorite soap! I use fresh goat milk from a local farmer and add in nourishing oils for a creamy, dreamy bar of soap that truly pampers & moisturizes your skin!
I have keratosis pilaris (rough, bumpy skin) on the backs of my arms and using goat milk soap directly on my skin helps immensely!
Goat milk soap is also great for sensitive skin. I often recommend the fragrance free goat milk soap for those with sensitive skin or allergies. In my opinion, this is the absolute mildest soap!
A friend even uses my fragrance free goat milk soap on her baby! I love it for my face! After washing my face with my goat milk soap, my skin doesn't feel tight or dry. smile emoticon
My Shea Butter soap is made with olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, palm kernel oil, castor oil and shea butter. All of these oils are skin loving and shea butter is incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. Shea butter is often used to remedy dry skin and to help protect the skin's natural oils. This is a great body bar for everyday use!
Coconut milk soap is made with, you guessed it, coconut milk! Coconut milk is another gentle and moisturizing ingredient that our skin loves! I use this soap as a facial bar as well!
Beer soap! This is a fun one for the guys! I make this using Killian's Irish Red and fragrance it with "Cool Water". This is a great gift for the man that has everything!
Using any of these soaps will likely result in softer, smoother skin! And you may even find you don't need to use as much lotion!
Enjoy!
