Handmade Soaps - Some Wonderful Benefits

Most people may not even have the time to dwell over a bath especially if it is time to go to office! But having a bath with a wonderfully fragrant soap is great not just for cleanliness but also for feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Now imagine if there is a product that can increase this “feel good” factor. With the benefit of home-made soaps or handmade soaps, you can indeed feel difference on your skin and your energy levels as well! There are plenty of benefits when it comes to using handmade soaps and here are a few of them:


You are doing away with detergents
Most commercial soaps are actually detergents and not soaps in the true sense of the word. But when you use handmade soaps you will be doing away with harmful ingredients such as detergents for lather, chemicals for instant skin softening effect and artificial colours.

 The good news is in the process
Handmade soaps can be made by a few separate methods such as
  • Cold process
  • Melt and pour
  • Hot process
But one of the biggest benefits of choosing handmade soaps is the fact that these soaps retain all the goodness with a process called saponification. For instance, commercial soaps remove the glycerin content which handmade soaps do not. Even the lye that is used in making handmade soaps is made “non-caustic” during the saponification process.

 Great for the skin
Because handmade soaps use natural ingredients such as flowers, spices and herbs, they are great for your skin as well. You may not always see instant benefits but you skin will show the result of the pampering that you are giving it in a very short duration. Handmade soaps therefore are great for all skin types and even have specific benefits such as anti acne, heavy duty moisturizing and reduction in oiliness of the face to name a few.

They are good for the environment
One of the biggest byproducts of using commercial soap is the high levels of detergent that flow down the drains and into the earth at some point of time. This is extremely eco-unfriendly. But when you use home-made or handmade soaps, you are using natural colorants, essential oils and other organic products which are earth friendly. Now this may not be a direct benefit for your skin but you are certainly playing a bigger role of being a better eco-citizen by using handmade soaps.

They make great gifts
Gifting soaps that you have made by yourself is a wonderful way to show that you care for your loved ones. For instance, if your loved one likes apples you can gift them Apple Pie Aroma Soap, if they like jasmine you gift them jasmine soap etc.
