Top 3 Reasons why you should use “Natural” Soaps

Soap usage takes an inevitable chunk of our daily routine. They touch our skin several times in a day (depends on how stringent you are when it comes to hygiene). Each one of us has our own special reasons why we prefer certain kinds of soaps. But for women in general, this will never be an impulsive buy as most of the time, purchases are out of brand, quality or price (or all three, if they can have it!). Call us OC’s on vanity but we’re made to be like that, period. Choices come in so many forms, brands scents, and design. The look may not necessarily translate into effects, but, we tend to be swayed by it at times. We may even veer away from what we have been so used to using, out of curiosity, just to try if it will give us anything different.



Actually, we can narrow down the choices into two: Commercial Soaps and Natural Soaps. Commercial soaps are readily available, in the local stores. They are the usual ones that you buy at the grocery, supermarket or beauty products outlets. We get them directly from the shelves. They are the ones that are heavy on the ads. You see them anywhere. Fact is, almost all of us grew knowing that they are the only soaps available in the world.


What we do not know, however, is that long before we were born, natural soaps are already being made. But why are they not popular? Or why are they not commonly used? There can be a lot of possible reasons for that. The glory and wonders of commercial soaps has been deeply inculcated into our being that we wouldn’t care less about its effects on us anymore. That’s the common mind-set imprinted on us (and into our subconscious as well!). Economic reason takes second place, because of the price stemming from it be ng mass produced, commercial soaps are definitely cheaper.



Why Use “Natural” Soaps? Here are the 3 good reasons:

1.Ingredients

Natural soaps are made from organic, simple yet nontoxic ingredients like vegetable oils and butters that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients. These elements were proven to be essential to maintaining healthy skin. These soaps are carefully handcrafted to ensure that the important components are retained and not removed from the end-product.

Whenever we buy soaps from the shelves, we are not even conscious of what it is really made of. Check the labels and scrutinize the ingredients. Most of the time, we are not aware that they contain synthetic ingredients which can dry our skin, and at times, it can even cause allergic reactions, or worse, can even cause skin cancer.



Natural soap is created by mixing together organic oils (olive oil, coconut oil, other kinds of oils) or fats and lye, resulting in a reaction called saponification, a process which actually converts oils into soaps and glycerine. Glycerine is one component which has been proven to be beneficial as it attracts moisture to your skin and is renowned as a soothing emollient. This important substance is actually being taken out of the commercial soap, to be used only for higher-priced beauty products. In handcrafted natural soaps, this is actually created during the soap making process. To make things simple and much easier to understand, natural soaps are not made from pure, organic and uncomplicated ingredients, harmful chemical nor synthetics are added as compared to commercial soaps.


2.Beneficial Effects

Why do we use soap? Direct response to this will be to cleanse ourselves, to feel refreshed, to feel good and beautiful, and of course, to smell great. These are the same benefits that we can get from both natural d commercial soaps. Using natural soaps, however, can give you more. They will not just clean you, they can make you healthier and make you feel a whole lot better too.



Natural soaps can be combined with a wide array of organic oils, butters, plant extracts and exfoliants. These ingredients have been proven to be genuinely good for your skin and overall health. Coconut oil for instance, has moisturizing and disinfectant properties combined with a dose of vitamin E which are essential for healthy skin. Honey has the remarkable and amazing properties which can actually make your skin smoother and can even heal rashes and inflammations. Oats can also be added which can make your skin younger. Then there’s Shea butter, with its skin healing properties. Natural antibacterial and antifungal properties can be drawn from eucalyptus, while peppermint leaves can act as a decongestant and create a fresh invigorating scent. The list can be endless, and there’s a wide array of possible variations and combinations which are all proven and tested to make our skin glow with youthful vibrance and health.


Natural soap won’t dry out your skin or cause any other skin irritation as all of the ingredients are gentle and skin safe.





3. Price

The plain and logical principle here applies. Don’t look at the price tag, lest we will be missing out on one important value – and that is the true quality of the product we are buying. In the long run, the money that we spend on cheaper alternative will not be worth it. Why? It will simply be because we will just end up blaming ourselves for short changing something that we truly deserve. Natural soaps are worth every penny that we will spend, after all, we have only one lifetime to nourish the gift of beauty that we are blessed with.
