Bar soap plays an everyday role in most people’s lives, so it’s important to use a quality product. The benefits of natural, handmade soap surpass what store-bought products offer. Here are some benefits you’ll enjoy when you opt for a natural option.

3 Reasons to Purchase Natural Bar Soap

1. Natural Cleaner

Many commercial soaps use chemicals to create bubbles and work similarly to detergents. These ingredients may dry out your skin or leave unwanted residue behind.

Natural products use safe ingredients, such as olive and avocado oil, shea butter, and plant extracts, to clean your skin. These ingredients are also packed with healthy vitamins and minerals that can better hydrate and deliver nutrients.

2. No Harmful Preservatives

Commercial products have long shelf lives because of harmful preservatives and chemicals to keep the soaps hard. Some of these, like grapefruit seed extract, can have negative effects on sensitive skin. Others, like optiphen, can trigger allergic reactions. When you buy natural, you can be confident no harmful chemicals are contributing to a product’s shelf life.

3. Eco-Friendly Product

Natural bar soaps come in minimal packaging to be eco-friendly. Wrappers are often made of recycled materials, and no bottles mean no leftover waste when you’re done using them.

Manufacturing processes are also often better for the environment. Commercial products mix potentially harmful chemicals in giant vats in emissions-producing factories. Handmade soaps generate little to no emissions during manufacturing, making them an eco-conscious purchase.
