What is organic soap?

Learn about organic soap, and why it is a healthy alternative to store bought soap.

Actually, it's not organic. It's considered 100 percent natural. We don't use any chemicals that are manmade. We don't use petroleum. There is nothing in the soap that you can't pronounce. Everything is 100 percent natural, and everything you find in the soap you will find in nature.


In store bought shampoos and soaps, there is a chemical called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This chemical is used to clean grease off heavy machinery. Manufacturers put that in the products to help strip away the oils in your body. The chemical is actually known to cause cancer in people. Unfortunately, people still use it. Companies also put that chemical in skin care products like lotions. The chemical has other side effects, as well. It also speeds up the action of male baldness. If you don't use a shampoo that has the chemical, most likely you will not go bald for a very, very long time.

Another ingredient found in store bought lotions is petroleum. The problem with petroleum is it actually stops moisture from getting into your skin. We use olive oil and bees wax type bases for our lotions and soaps. This way, your skin can actually draw in moisture and any type of vitamins and minerals that it needs.
