Importance Of Organic Handmade Soap

By Shirley Sanders


Many times after shower you may find your skin irregularly dry and uncomfortable. This is because of using common commercial detergents made up of chemicals that cause skin dehydration and also poses harm to the environment. Organic handmade soap contains no artificial fragrance and is made up of natural oils from plants such as olive, aloe vera among others.

The compounds that are used to made the regular detergents destroy the natural defenses of the human skin leaving it vulnerable to diseases. They are made in large amount mostly for making money rather than beneficial properties to the user. The handcrafted detergents have been made with a lot of precaution and thought. Skin sensitivity is considered when making these detergents. Vitamin E and aloe Vera products are some of the common compounds incorporated in these detergents. These prevent the human skin from being compromised.

Alkali compounds are the major components found in regular detergents. These compounds are known to be irritants and cause skin rash and scaling. Other compounds include petroleum products which are also known to be irritants and known to cause dehydration of the human skin. Antibacterial products have also been incorporated to destroy microorganisms.

Incorporation of antibiotics in the regular detergents may lead to drug resistance by some microorganisms as a result of selective pressure on these microorganisms. These detergents may kill microorganisms leaving behind the resistant strains to bring up a generation of resistant ones. This is the major cause of drug resistance.

In many shampoos and lotions, they major chemical compound is usually glycerin. This mixture is used for skin tenderization and moisturizing for a long time. This compound is found naturally in the natural ingredients used to make the handmade detergents, but for the regular soap, they are extracted and then incorporated into the desired products. The natural cleansers are the best solution when you are having premature wrinkles and are available in almost every store.

The skin has pores that can allow some external products into the system. When using regular soaps which contain harmful chemicals, these chemicals can find their way into the system leading to allergic reactions and other skin complications. However, when natural ingredients are used to make the detergents, the soap becomes friendly to the human skin as they protect rather than causing harm to it.

Regular soaps contain chemicals that can only destroy the pathogens and remove other germs on the surface of the human skin but leave nothing that is beneficial to the skin. They even destroy the natural flora of the epidermis making it more vulnerable than it was. However, for natural detergents, cleaning and destroying germs is not enough. They also cause the human skin to be smooth, moisturized and protected from infections.

The art of making natural detergents is a good activity that one should try out. This is because everything that you are working with is safe and poses no danger to the environment. You can start with a simple method which includes melt and pour methods. They are a lot of molds you can use when you want to be more creative in making natural detergents.
