A Lesson for the Bar Soap Haters

This is something I'm truly adamant about sharing with everyone - the difference between the bars on the grocery store shelf, and my Old Fashioned Bar Soap. "Why does it matter," you ask? I'm glad you did! Let me share my knowledge with you. I was once a Bar Soap Hater just like you... now I've seen the errors of my ways!

Not all bars are created equal - let's start first with some definitions:

• Old Fashioned Bar Soap - True soap is made with a combination of oils and lye (sodium hydroxide) where a chemical reaction then occurs saponifying the oils into soap over a period of time. The FDA says that if the bar on the shelf is not a combination of oils and lye, then it is not truly soap. My Old Fashioned Bar Soap is made in my very own kitchen, where I can control which oils are added in order to give a great feeling to your skin. It bubbles on nicely and washes off cleanly - leaving a squeaky clean feel to your skin that is non-drying. While all of my bar soap is at least 97.6% natural, I have also developed several 100% natural bars for special skin needs - including those for people who have skin sensitivities and allergies. These soaps are great for all skin types and can even be used on toddlers and soft skin such as your face (just don't get it in your eyes!)
  

• Grocery Store "Soap" - Most "soaps" from the grocery store are not truly soap at all. They are technically detergent bars - you'll notice that most are not labeled as true soap. They'll carry names such as "deodorant bar" or "cleansing bar" or something like that, but they'll not say soap (there are a few exceptions to this). These detergent bars are formulated with chemicals that many people cannot pronounce - myself included. They can be harsh and drying, and are the number one reason why people say, "But I don't like bar soap - I'm a shower gel person." Personally, I'd rather know what is going onto the skin of my family, and if I can't pronounce it, there's a good chance its not the best idea for me, especially as I'm one of those sensitive skin types.

I challenge you bar soap haters out there... try a bar of Old Fashioned Bar Soap before you swear it off forever - our not so distant relatives had the right idea by making their own soap - its definitely better than anything produced by the scientific revolution. You'll notice the quality in handmade, and if you have any special needs just let me know, I'd be more than happy to help recommend or develop a bar of your very own!
