Lovely Linda at Just Soap gave me a few of her beautiful handmade soaps to try. Just Soap soaps are handmade with no wasteful packaging, and the finest quality ingredients. These soaps are large bars (140 - 150 grams) , and look fabulous on display in the bathroom, and they last too, unlike some soaps that I have used before that melt away after one use.
I've been trying the Hemp and Patchouli bar (looks devine, and smells even better), the Pineapple Mango (beautiful summertime smells) and the Oatmeal, Milk and Honey bar (which has been great for my kids too) - my skin really does feel so much more moisturised. I have very sensitive skin too, but without all the harsh chemicals that I normally react to in commercial soaps, I have enjoyed using these with no problems at all. Finally I can use something that smells nice too :)
"Why Use Handmade Soaps?
Most of the soap available in shops today is not really soap at all but detergent. Detergents are petroleum based like petrol & kerosene. . Other proven harmful ingredients in commercial soaps include SLS, DEA, Isopropyl alcohol, BHT & Triclosan which can cause severe skin irritation. The biggest difference in handmade & commercial soap is that they strip out the natural glycerine to sell as a by product. Natural soap is loaded with natural glycerine & it keeps your skin soft & healthy as it absorbs water from the air. With the ever increasing man made chemicals in the world its good to use a natural product. Treat yourself!"
