Different characteristics of handmade soap

Handmade soaps have gradually become popular, mainly because handmade soaps are both natural and environmentally friendly. The prices of handmade soaps and general commercial soaps are very different. What is this for? Why is it natural and environmentally friendly? The production of handmade soap can be roughly divided into two types: one is the hot method; the other is the cold method. The thermal method belongs to continuous heating forming. Its advantage is that the soap making time is very short, which can be completed in about two hours. The advantage of the cold method is that it can retain most of the nutrients, but the disadvantage is that the production time is very long, and it must wait at least three to eight weeks before it can be completed.

Most of the commercially available soaps are made by thermal method, which is more economical, and glycerin is produced in the process of soap making, so glycerin is generally extracted, because the value of glycerin is much higher than that of soap. The remaining soap, plus artificial chemical additives (such as detergents or synthetic actives, etc.), has become the commercial soap we see. But handmade soap completely retains glycerin in the soap, and glycerin accounts for almost a quarter of handmade soap! Because glycerin is a natural moisturizing and moisturizing agent, handmade soaps are far more moisturizing than commercial soaps when used. This is the reason, and commercial soaps often use animal oils because of cost considerations, such as: Lard, beef tallow, and even cooking oil, etc. Although animal-based oils are cheap, they can easily block the pores when used, which is very unfavorable to the skin, and handmade soaps are more suitable for you and your family. , In the selection of materials, high-quality pure natural vegetable oils are used, so the cost is much more expensive.

Because no clean artificial chemicals are added in the production process of handmade soap, after the handmade soap encounters water, it will be completely neutralized and decomposed within about 24 hours, so it will not cause the burden on the earth's ecological environment and Therefore, in addition to enjoying a comfortable bath, it can also protect the ecological environment. For the sake of future generations, we should insist on using handmade soap to protect our only one precious earth!
