3 Top Questions I Am Asked About My Soap

Posted on April 26, 2023 by Melanie Brown

I've been making soaps for a number of years and have been asked a lot of questions about it.

Here are the top 3 questions I am asked about my soaps.

  1. What ingredients do you use in your handmade soap?
  2. How does handmade soap differ from commercially produced soap?
  3. Can your handmade soap help with skin conditions such as dryness or acne?

1. What ingredients do you use in your handmade soap?

I use natural ingredients when I make my soaps. I was influenced to do so as 2 of my 3 children had eczema and I wanted to find ingredients which would care for their skin. I therefore use products which are skin loving, hydrating and moisturizing. 

My favourite ingredients to use are coconut oil, avocado oil, shea butter and olive oil. These oils and butters hydrate the skin and lock in the moisture. They are renowned for being soothing and calming.

2. How does soap differ from commercially produced soaps?

A soap maker who makes soaps from home, will get the best natural ingredients to make skin loving, preservative free and cruelty free soaps. They do not contain chemicals. Each bar is uniquely made with love and devotion.

Commercial soaps are mass produced and are more than likely to include preservatives to ensure that they have a longer shelf life. They occasionally contain chemicals which dry out the skin.

3. Can your handmade soap help with skin conditions such as dryness or acne?

As a general rule, I cannot give medical advice as I am not a doctor. However, I can say that the ingredients used within the recipes are renowned for hydrating and moisturizing the skin. There are natural ingredients such as tea tree oil and charcoal which when combined calm and soothe the skin.

I hope you found this information useful.

Please share it with someone who you know is concerned about the ingredients used in their skincare.
