Self Care

You might be wondering what makes organic handmade soap better than the typical soaps you see in the store. Here, we will talk about the advantages you can obtain from organic soaps!  

 

It is not removed of glycerine 

Also called glycerol, glycerine is a natural alcohol and water attractant that can be found in different kinds of soap. It plays a role in cleaning your skin and at the same time moisturizing it. In fact, it is known to be a moisturizer for several years now. Moreover, it is known to improve skin texture and alleviate skin diseases as it protects the skin from irritants that can be found in the environment. And because it is hypoallergenic in nature, it does not have any negative effects on the skin.  

 

It has natural antibacterial property 

Non-handmade antibacterial soaps are added with sulfates, parabens, triclosan, and other chemicals that may be toxic to your skin. These toxic chemicals are also found out to disrupt hormones, increase the risk of cancers, and affect reproductive functions. On the other hand, organic soaps have natural antibacterial properties, essential oils like eucalyptus, and tea trees that do not give harmful effects. Besides cleansing and moisturizing your skin, these essential oils are also aromatherapeutic.  

 

It is environmentally friendly and cruelty-free 

Organic soaps are safe for animals and the environment. They do not contain toxic waste and chemicals and their ingredients break down easily. Moreover, animal testing is not included in the production of these soaps since they use organic ingredients that are biodegradable such as botanical herbs and plant extracts, and do not contain any chemicals that can harm any animals or insects.  

 

It has no preservatives 

Typical soaps need to be added with chemicals and preservatives in order to last long. For example, parabens are commonly added to achieve this as this is a class of preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria and molds. While they are effective in prolonging the shelf life of the soap, they may also cause some irritations and harm to your skin and health in general.  

On the other hand, organic soaps do not use parabens and their compounds are easily broken down. Their main objective is to provide nutrients to your skin even that means not having a longer shelf life.  

It has natural healing properties 

There are just a lot of benefits that organic soaps provide. As mentioned, they are devoid of chemicals and contain herbs and essential oils that generally have healing properties. Some of their ingredients may be effective in treating sunburn, acne, and eczema.  

 

It is loaded with antioxidants 

Organic soaps retain their antioxidant properties, which help reduce inflammation and effectively remove skin impurities. With these, your skin will be healthier after regular use. Unlike the mass-produced soaps that dry the skin when used regularly. Moreover, organic soaps have a good amount of pH levels that are good for the skin, even in intimate areas.  

 

Conclusion 

There are just a lot of benefits you can have when you opt to use organic soap instead of risking some irritations and skin cancers by using soaps loaded with chemicals. Organic soaps are not even that expensive, considering their safety, efficacy, and the therapeutic effects they provide.
