As a soap artisian and the owner of a natural skincare business I created from home, it's interesting to go out onto the streets and hear what people have to say about their skincare products. Did you know that most people are afraid of natural skincare? They walk by at the Farmers Markets and look at you like you have poison in your hands. But, what you really have is life in your hands. Yes, I say life. Think of all the reports you've heard online and on the news about chemicals and preservatives in your products. Now, think of all the different skin conditions people are coming up with. Does it make any sense to you that one would use a product that irritates their skin, let it get bad enough to send them to a dermatologist or practitioner for Meds and then once it clears up, go back to using their same old products? What kind of sense does that make? Absolutely no sense at all. It amazings me how they do this again and again, year after year. Until it is so out of control, they have no choice buy to invest in healthy skin. That's where the handmade soap comes in.
Let me take the label ingredients off of a bar of soap I have at home that has a great smell, but don't do the job I need it to do, and then I will give you ALL the ingredients of my Natural Handmade Soap. It's call Truth in Labeling.
Tone' is the soap I'm speaking of as Commericial:
Ingredients: Soap ( Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palm Kernealate, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Tallowate, Water (Agua) Talc, Coconut Acid, Palm Acid, Tallow Acid, PEG-12, Fragrance ( ParFum) Sunflowerseedamidoprople ethlydimonium ethosulfate9 and Z) PEG-9 Glycerin Sorbitol, Soduium Choloride, Theobroma Cacaoz(Cocoa) Seed Butter, Propylene Glycol ( and) Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice ( and) Theobroma Cacao(Cocoa) Extract (and) Carica Payapa) Fruit Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Titanium Dioxide......

Geez, it was hard enough just trying to type the words... Not to mention that the stuff is all chemical and preservatives that make it last for years. Why are you buy a bar of detergent. Why don't you just use Dish Washing liquid?

My Ingredients for EVERY bar of soap I make:

Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Cottonseed Oil, LYE, WATER ( Could be Aloe Vera Juice, Fruit Juice, Milk(s), but mainly it's purified water. The ONLY item that makes my soaps less than 100% PURE NATURAL is the fragrance Oil I use. When I use Pure Essential Oils, they are then considered 100 % all natural Soaps. The use of earth clays, and natural food grade colors, and/or herbs are also all natural.
That's it folks.... Nothing else.... JUST PLAIN SOAP.

The best you can buy for your skin, and it feels so good on your skin, doesn't leave soap scum and you notice the difference after your first experience.
