The benefits of organic soap

 Beyond a simple question of hygiene, skin cleansing is one of the fundamentals of a beauty routine that should not be neglected. Having healthy and radiant skin depends above all on clean and well-maintained skin. Today, natural soap is increasingly becoming more popular on the cosmetics market to the detriment of industrially manufactured soaps. But what exactly are the benefits of organic soap and what are the elements to consider when choosing it? The answers are provided in this post. 

The main benefits of natural soap

• A gentle cosmetic for the skin

Before, soap often evoked unpleasant sensations for the skin, sometimes even tightness. Today, with the discovery of natural soap, the use of soap becomes more beneficial than other industrial cleaning products, such as gel. Indeed, organic soap has the particularity of being made from quality vegetable oil and by cold saponification.

Coming from an artisanal soap workshop , it is made from cold saponification. The oils are therefore not heated, which allows them to retain their properties. Composed of almost 95% natural or organic ingredients, natural soap is particularly gentle and does not cause skin irritation, unlike industrial soaps made from synthetic ingredients. 

• A naturally moisturizing soap 

Another benefit of natural soap for the skin is its naturally moisturizing property. The process of saponifying soap naturally produces glycerin. While cold saponification preserves this glycerin, hot saponification tends to remove it to allow the manufacturer to resell it separately. 

Therefore, organic soap contains natural glycerin which gives it a moisturizing power and softening properties for the skin. It thus prevents the skin from drying out. For comparison, an organic soap contains 5 to 8.5% natural glycerin on average, while an industrial soap contains approximately 0.5 to 1% added synthetic glycerin.

• How to choose your organic soap? 

Like many products available on the market, organic soap comes in various types. Although this type of soap is known to have multiple benefits for the skin, you should know that not all natural soaps are equal and offer different properties, hence the need to be careful to choose your organic soap. To do this, it is essential to take into account certain criteria.

• The manufacture of organic soap

Many people mistakenly think that all solid soaps are natural soaps. However, it should be noted that solid soaps made by hot saponification are not organic soaps. Therefore, when purchasing your natural soap, you must be careful to check its manufacturing method so as not to make a mistake. 

• The ingredients

The natural ingredients, more precisely the vegetable oils, used for the manufacture of a natural soap vary from one soap to another. However, it should be noted that each oil has different properties and virtues. While some are known for their moisturizing power, others are renowned for their softening, nourishing, etc. properties. For each type of skin, there is a suitable natural soap. Therefore, it is important to determine the basic components of the soap before using it in order to benefit from its benefits .
