What’s in your soap?
You only need three ingredients to make soap:
Water, Fat, and Lye.
This is pure soap, with the natural glycerin retained. Glycerin is a great moisturizer that attracts moisture to the skin and is best if just left naturally in the soap.
(from NaturalNews)” The next time you walk down the soap aisle at your favorite store enjoying the fresh, clean scents and the bright colorful packaging, pay attention. Look at the labels. The vast majority of the products on the shelf don’t say ‘soap’ on their labels. They might be called beauty bars, moisturizing bars, or body bars, but not soap. That’s because these bars aren’t actually soap and can’t legally claim to be; they’re detergents. The manufacturers have removed most of the ‘good’ stuff that occurs in the soap making process, and replaced it with synthetic lathering agents and harsh chemicals. These cheap, plentiful detergent bars are not only bad for your skin, but they’re also bad for the planet, too.”
What’s in your soap?
Cold-Process is the basic form of handmade, from scratch soap making. The result is a luscious, gentle soap with a fine texture and lovely lather. Hot-Process uses the same technique, however goes one step further applying heat to the soap “cooking” it. I use both processes to make my soaps, preferring lately the rustic look of hot-process.

What’s in my soap?
No Artificial Ingredients
My soaps are made of water (or beer [home-brew, of course!], or goat milk), lye, and blends of different fats-mainly olive oil and coconut oil. I use only plant based colors and pure essential oils. And there are no preservatives in my soaps.
If you have never used real soap before you are missing out!
It’s time to come clean! Big name bars are not soap, but detergents, synthetic lathering agents, and harsh chemicals. Bad for you, bad for our planet. Do yourself and your world a favor and start using real soap!
