Why in a recession would we choose to buy fresh-cut, organic soaps when we can go to the supermarket and buy 6 bars of soap for the price of 1 handmade soap?

Believe it or not, the substance that we believe is cleansing us is actually hurting us by polluting our environment. According to Green Living Magazine, mass-produced soaps contain lots of chemicals and synthetic ingredients like tallow- a lower grade ingredient rendered from animal fats.

So why should we choose essential oils over the synthetic ones? In the long run, handmade, natural soaps are better for our skin and our environment. Handmade soap is made with natural glycerin, a key ingredient that moisturizes our skin.

Natural soaps won’t irritate sensitive skin and our water will no longer be congested with chemicals. So indulge, and for the first time feel seriously clean.
