| What is REAL Soap? |
We believe that a REAL bar of soap is made the old-fashioned way-using natural oils, butter, fats, and lye. Yes, LYE. Soap has been made in this manner for centuries, and it is the way that we believe the best soap is still made today. Don't let the word lye scare you. Once the lye is mixed with the particular oils used in the recipe, a chemcial process called saponification occurs where the lye and oils combine to become soap. There is no active lye in the product after this occurs. Most "soaps" that are sold commercially in stores today are not actually soap at all. Many of them are, in reality, detergents mixed with chemicals. In fact, legally, companies cannot even use the word soap to describe their product if it is not actually soap. That is why you won't see the word soap on the label, but rather the words deoderant bar or facial cleanser or something similar. You can feel the difference that a real bar of soap makes on your skin. A soap that is free of detergents and harsh chemicals is much friendlier to your skin. |
