How Handmade Soap is Making the World a Better Place
Soap has been used for millennia to clean and maintain the human body. Today, most people use packaged soap in the shower or bath, but there is a growing movement of people who prefer to use soap made fresh by hand. The process of making soap involves slowly heating oils and other ingredients in a vessel to extract the natural dirt, grime, and bacteria from the surface and to leave the skin feeling soft and clean. The makers of soap believe that this process can improve the quality of your life, and many people agree.
Soap was once a simple commodity. It was a product that was used to clean the body and was a common commodity found in washing machines across the world. However, today, soap has become a coveted luxury product. Many bars of handmade soap contain natural ingredients, ranging from plant-based glycerin to oatmeal and honey, to provide rich lather, clean the skin and leave the user feeling clean and refreshed.
