Soap. We use it daily without thinking, liquid soap, bar soap, fancy soap, plain soap, deodorant soap. But is any of really S O A P? What is soap? Commercial bars of soap are super cheap, available in bulk just about everywhere and some of them even smell pretty good, or at least not too bad....so why pay extra for natural soap and just what is "natural soap" and what are the differences between commercial soaps and natural soaps? If you're concerned about the health of your body, mind & spirit, then what happens to your skin is also critical to know what you're putting on your body's largest organ, the skin. Anything applied to the skin will either benefit or harm you from the topical application of ingredients. Your skin does not live in isolation from the rest of your body. If you think it does, take some freshly crushed garlic, rub it on the soles of your feet and have someone smell your breath in about 20 minutes! So just what is Natural Soap? And more importantly is the soap you've been buying really soap or is it something else? All
soap, natural and commercial, is made from a combination of oils
and an alkali (such as lye, ash or carbon) and water.
Saponification is the chemical reaction produced when these
ingredients are combined. The result from that reaction is soap
and glycerin. Soap cleanses the skin, while glycerin moisturizes
it. Before we were soap educated we were very concerned about the
lye in soap, particularly in handcrafted soap. Especially now that lye is a restricted item and also used in various illegal activities such as meth production. The horror stories make us fear LYE. It's important to
understand the basics of the soap making process. Once the
saponification process is complete the lye molecules and oil
molecules have combined and chemically changed into soap and glycerin. There just isn't any lye
present in finished bars of soap and soap can't be made without lye. All soap uses lye or ash to
produce the saponification process. Like everything else synthetic, people are discovering the truth about commercial soap. They are learning that the soap bars that fill the shelves aren't really soap. They are called " syndet " bars or " synthetic detergent " bars. Detergents are different from soaps and are made from all or mostly synthetic chemicals, many proven to be carcinogenic. Detergents were invented in 1916 in Germany. They contain harsh synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, fillers, binders, builders, colorings, dyes, preservatives, stabilizers, additives and a host of other substances that enable them to sit on shelves for years. Part of the advertising dollar to lure the consumer is spent on making these harsh chemical detergents and petroleum products sound more attractive, so they're often called " beauty bars " " deodorant bars "... " "cleansing bars " or " pet shampoo bars ". You won't see the word " soap " on the label because they are not soap. So what is the difference between natural soap and a nice smelling detergent? Detergents strip your skin's natural oils by removing the natural moisturizing oils along with the dirt, grime and soil. That's the reason your skin feels dry or itchy and uncomfortable after bathing. Commercial " soaps " also remove the naturally occurring glycerin that would normally be found in soap. Glycerin is a natural humectant that helps your skin retain its natural moisture. Commercial manufactures will often use salt in the process to remove the glycerin creating an even more drying soap. Then the glycerin is sold to other companies, lowering the cost of their artificial soap and making more money by selling the glycerin...resulting in increased profit. Cheaper to produce and increased profits by selling the beneficial glycerin. And whom do they sell the glycerin to? If you guessed, companies that produce body lotions, creams and real soap you'd be right! These are the very same lotions that you need to apply after bathing because, your skin has been dried out by commercial detergents! Don't you wonder if some commercial soap manufacturers also own some commercial body lotion companies too? Grand marketing schemes cost millions of dollars and are created to produce great results at the consumers expense. Those beautiful botanical names, colorful floral wrappings and photographs will give you every indication that a product is made with nothing but the freshest and best natural ingredients. Try pronouncing the ingredients on commercial detergent bars, if they even show them. Are they natural or synthetic? Natural handcrafted soaps contain only pure and natural ingredients so the ingredients list on the label should be easy to pronounce, unless the Latin names are given. Handcrafted Soap vs. Commercial Soap? So, now you have discovered what commercial soap is really detergent, the same thing you wash your clothes or car with. Commercial soaps are synthesized chemicals that are harsh, strip your natural oils, dry your skin and are unsuitable for personal skin care, while natural soaps are made from natural oils and other natural ingredients, often with retained glycerin which naturally moisturizes your skin. The glycerin content is why handcrafted soap is softer than commercial soaps.. Handcrafted soap is made fresh, in small batches with attention to every detail. Most handcrafted soap makers are small family run businesses that are truly concerned about making a difference, enjoy the same things that you do, such as sustainable living, treading gently on our environment, not harming and creating good, ethically produced products, plus they have a passion for their soap making. You can feel good about supporting such efforts! One point of clarification. Like many jumping on the organic band wagon, not all handcrafted soap uses all natural ingredients. Again, those beautiful names, nice packaging & great smells can really fool a lot of us..... but what do the labels say? Many handcrafted soaps use fragrance oils, dyes and colorants, which are synthetic chemicals mixed together, often dozens or hundreds, to imitate a scent. This bombardment of synthetic chemicals is possibly one reason so many people are suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity. Soaps using fragrance oils or additives haven't any aromatherapy benefits. Is just smelling good a sufficient reason to use something synthetic? How about lingering, delightful aromas with beneficial properties, wouldn't that be better? So now lets talk briefly about Essential Oils and Herbs vs. Fragrance Oils and Additives Natural
handcrafted soaps use only pure essential oils to scent their
bars. You can read more about essential oils on our other pages, but basically essential
oils are extracted from the leaves, bark, roots, flowers, fruits,
nuts & berries of herbs, shrubs & trees. Essential oils
have been used for thousands of years to restore, maintain &
enhance health, increase well being and in beauty routines.
Essential oils produce aromatic molecules that interact with your nasal
cavity giving signals that are modified by various biological
process before reaching your brain's limbic system. The limbic
system is considered the emotional control center of your brain.
The aromas create various impressions associated with previous
emotions & experiences. Directly connected to the portion of
the brain, the limbic system controls heart rate, breathing,
memory, blood pressure, stress levels & hormonal balances.
Traditional healers have know what modern research is just discovering and
that is that it appears using aromatherapy is the fastest way to
achieve a positive psychological or physiological effect. Many
research universities are learning how volatile and quickly
positive results can be achieved. One research project at the
University of Manchester, in England, has shown that just
Eucalyptus and Tea Tree oils can KILL live Tuberculosis cells in
just 40 minutes. Do you know of anything synthesized that can
approach those incredible results? Aromatherapy effects the
neurochemistry of the brain and can help to clear sinuses, free
congestion in the chest, relax, invigorate and produce changes in
emotional and mental behavior. Even subtle, undetectable aromas
can produce significant results within your central nervous
system. All handcrafted natural soaps contain herbs, essential oils, natural
vegetable oils & butters and other natural botanicals to add
color, aroma, beneficial properties, moisturization or
exfoliation. Even though it's not required, most handcrafted soap
list all of their ingredients so you can be confident that they
are using only natural ingredients. You will notice a difference
using handcrafted soaps versus commercial detergent bars. Natural
soaps are rich & nourishing and your skin will enjoy the
soothing difference!

Soap ~ A whole page could be devoted to the benefits of
goat milk! Excellent for delicate baby skin, keeps skin's PH in
balance, unscented. Goat's milk is prized for it's
incredible skin care qualities, creamy lather and skin softening.
Unlike commercial soap, goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic
and capronic acids, and the naturally occurring triglycerides.
Otherwise known as good fat. The result is a pH level that's well
balanced for healthy human hair and skin, remember that
commercial soap is really detergent and can dry out your skin to
the point at which it feels taut and itchy. In order to
compensate for that miserable dry feeling your body overproduces
oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of your skin. This creates
a vicious circle with oily skin, clogged pores, blackheads and
blemishes. Goats milk soap simply maintains
the balance. And no worries for people who have allergies to
usual dairy products or sensitive skin. Castor
oil is rich in fatty acids and very moisturizing and lubricating to the skin in general. It acts as a
humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. Castor oil packs
applied with warm flannel are believed effective for pain relief
and to """"draw out""""
cysts, boils and warts. Ayurvedic medicine has long used castor
oil for lumbago, sciatica and rheumatism. In the Canary Islands
the oil is used to prevent sore nipples in nursing mothers and is
also rubbed onto their scalps to prevent post natal hair loss.
Pressed cocoa butter is the fat which is obtained by hydraulic pressing
of cocoa nib or cocoa mass (cocoa liquor) obtained from cocoa
beans. It could be filtered or centrifuged. This is an all
natural process and no solvents are used. It's better quality
than regular cocoa butter. Cocoa Butter is excellent in balms,
lotions, creams, and soaps because of cocoa butter's softening
and skin-healing properties. Cocoa butter has a delightfully
beautiful aroma of chocolate and is truly irresistible if you are
a chocoholic. Shea Butter comes from the African shea tree found
along the West African Savannah region. It is a wild growing tree
that produces tiny, almond-like fruit from which shea butter is
extracted. The tree itself is not cultivated and takes 40 to 50
years to mature. In most parts of West Africa, destruction of the
shea tree is forbidden due to its economic, health and social
benefits. Indeed, many herbalists in Africa regard shea butter as an
invaluable agent for internal and external body purification.
Traditional uses of Shea butter include: treatments for dry skin, blemishes,
skin discoloration, scars and wrinkles, a relaxer for stiff muscles, as an aid for pain from
swelling and arthritis, even as a sun screen. This soap is
gentle, without essential oils and very soothing. Contains:
Goat Milk, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Palm Oil, 100% Soybean Oil,
Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Kernel Flakes, Cocoa Butter, Shea
Butter, Vitamins E, A & D. Not just for kids! Check out our
Goat Milk Lotion too, what a combination to pamper your skin.

art as were his other creative endeavors. Thus he named the

that shows a beautiful senorita (or maja) coquettishly
fanning herself. The cakes are covered by pleated black paper
that is now shaped by machine. Any room in which you place this
