Why choose natural soap?
Adopt natural soap
Soap has been used for centuries to wash ourselves, it comes in solid form, but it was left behind for years in favor of liquid soaps like shower gels. The latter are easier to use and gentler on the skin, but when you really think about it, that's not really the case. The natural soap is much better with several benefits for the skin, for the environment and for the practical side.
WHAT IS NATURAL SOAP?
THE natural soap is made from a gentle recipe with a superfat of 8 %, it is excellent for softening, moisturizing and nourishing the skin, even sensitive, reactive and dry skin. It is even suitable for young children. It is a soap naturally rich in glycerin and made with natural ingredients. The raw materials are fatty substances (oils or fats), alkalis (caustic soda or potash) and water. These are ingredients from nature with nutrients that are beneficial for the skin. Non-volatile, mineral or etheric oils can be used. Fats and non-volatile oils can be of animal or vegetable origin, but it is also possible that they are cultivated plants (oilseeds or nuts) or non-cultivated. Given its composition and its cold artisanal manufacture allowing to naturally have glycerin, it is suitable for the face and for the body. Cold saponification is an ancestral technique where the natural soap is obtained by a chemical reaction between fats and lye, thus creating detergent substances.
WHY CHOOSE NATURAL SOAP?
THE natural soap has several advantages. It is a practical product, because it can be used to wash the body, hair and face, to shave, to remove makeup and even to brush your teeth. It is very pleasant to use. It is an organic and eco-friendly product, because it does not need a container, and it limits waste. Generally, it is packaged in a cardboard box, in biodegradable film or in bulk. In addition to saving space, you will also save money. Its cold production requires little energy and does not release wastewater into nature. Thus, its environmental impact is less. The natural soap is also excellent for the skin, as it does not contain synthetic fragrances, mineral oils which are potentially allergenic, irritants… that can be absorbed by the skin and enter the bloodstream to cause skin problems. It does not dry out the skin in any way, as all its ingredients are gentle and safe.
