Handmade Soap vs Store-Bought Bars: What's the Difference?

When it comes to skincare, not all bars are created equal. Many well-known supermarket bars are synthetic detergent bars rather than true soap, made for mass production with a longer list of ingredients to keep them consistent on the shelf.

Handmade soaps, on the other hand, are made with natural oils, butters and simple additives that cleanse gently, without leaving skin feeling stripped. Ingredients like olive oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, sea moss and oatmeal work together to leave dry or sensitive skin feeling soft, comfortable and moisturized.

Made without sulfates, phthalates or parabens, handmade soaps are crafted in small batches with care, making them a thoughtful choice for your skin and for the environment. They keep their natural glycerin, which helps draw moisture to the skin, and are scented with skin-safe essential oils or fragrances.

In short: a store-bought bar may wash your skin, but handmade soap truly cares for it.
