All natural soap is a necessity for anyone looking to avoid the harsh chemicals you will find in the soaps you buy from stores. It doesn't matter if you're searching for natural beard soap or body soap. It is important to understand the difference between natural soap from soap made of synthetic. In the end, what is the best way to go about selecting the most natural soap?

The first step is to know that the majority of the cleansing products you can find in stores under the name soap aren't actually soaps at all. These are chemical detergents, which contain synthetic fragrance oils, dyes, and harsh chemicals like triethanolamine. These can cause harm to your eyes as well as your lungs.

These ingredients are poisonous and may cause skin issues like dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, colloidal Oatmeal body butter and shampoo manufacturers make use of dimethicone which is an artificially derived silicon-based polymer that is known to trap sebum and bacteria under the skin, causing more breakouts, and also preventing your skin from exfoliating dead skin cells.

All natural soaps on other hand are made with only essential oils and natural ingredients that will not dry or harm your skin like store bought soaps. And unlike store bought soaps they do not contain the moisturizing glycerine stripped from them. Commercial soap manufacturers are able to remove the glycerine so that they can incorporate it into lotions and moisturizers.

Natural soap making Three methods are available to make soap made from natural ingredients.

Melt & Pour

Melt & Pour soap bases make up the lowest rung in the natural soap making. Melt & Pour soaps can be made from pre-made soap making kits that contain pre-made chunks. The soap is then melted and further ingredients are then added.

These soaps may be better than soaps that are sold in stores, but they usually contain ingredients like Sorbitan oil, which is derived form alcohol sorbitol. It has been associated with cancer. Melt & Pour soaps are typically sold at farm stands and farmers markets by well meaning people. The biggest problem with melt & pour bases is even if the seller adds natural ingredients to the base, they have no control over what is inside the melt and pour base to begin with. While soaps made with melt and pour bases can be better than soaps sold in shops, we don't recommend purchasing soaps that claim to be natural.

Cold Process

Cold-process soap is more effective than the production of Moroccan Argan Oil Body Butter. The soap is created by making the solution of lye vegetable or animal fats like coconut oil, lard, olive oil, castor beans oil and often palm oil. After adding lye to the fats, saponification starts with the base (the lye) and fatty acids combine to form soap. After the mixture has been cured for six to eight months in a mold it is then put into the soap. The soap continues to saponify through this time. The cold process soap is extremely lathery and pleasant to use. However, the cold-process technique can cause essential oils to reduce their beneficial properties as well as scents because of the extreme temperatures generated. However, all things considered cold process soaps are superior to melt & pour bases, or store-bought soaps.

Hot Process

Hot process soap is produced similar to as cold process soap however, there is an additional step. In order to speed up the process of saponification, the soap mixture is heated.

 

 

 

The reason is that essential oils are added once the majority of the heat is created. This means that they are able to keep their scents as well as other positive properties. We believe that the hot process method is the best method for making soap that is 100% natural to ensure that the soap we make can provide the incredible properties that our ingredients provide.

Ingredients

It is essential to ensure that the soap was created using either cold or hot processes. These are the primary ingredients to look for in all-natural soap:
