5 Reasons to Use Natural Handmade Soap – Best Hand-Made Soaps in India

Guess what? A women can look childless just by bathing with a soap bar made of “haldi & chandan kay gud samaye… sant*** sant***”

So, I was actually wondering, if by using a bar of soap can make you look 10 years younger, then what will happen to a 9 year old?  I bet she would land up in the uterus?  😛 #PunIntended

These commercial soap bar asserts to contain cream, milk, almonds, shea butter, avocado for just rupees 25. WOW!! That’s cheap! Once I was watching TV and my heart skipped a beat, when I saw a soap commercial claiming that the soap contains scrub, moisturizer and sunscreen as well. Again for rupees 65… Really??

Well, I think it’s better to use a handmade soap instead of these misleading products available in retail. Here are some of my favorite handmade soaps available on Amazon India (Click each link below to know more):

• Soulflower Charcoal You Smell Good Soap, 150g
• Khadi Mix Fruit Soap
• Gourmet Black Bath – Luxury Soap with Activated Charcoal & Lemongrass
• Ancient Ayurveda ‘GOTUKOLA ‘Anti-Aging’ WoodAsh Soap
• Khadi Sandalwood Soap

5 reasons to use a handmade soap:

• Commercial soap are mostly made by using hardeners, synthetic agents & detergents. While, handmade soap are a created using oils, lye and organic ingredients. You might think that lye is not safe for skin. But, once the oils and lye emulsify the process of saponification begins. Thus, resulting in a handcrafted soap.
• One of the major ingredient in handmade soaps is glycerin. Glycerin is a miracle ingredient, it maintains the water balance of the skin, moistures & nourishes the skin.
• Handmade soaps are scented with essential oils only. These essential oils offer therapeutic properties with super relaxing aromatic experience.
• Using commercial soap overtime will leave your skin dry or too oily, it may also lead to skin breakouts and rashes. But, handmade soaps helps restore moisture in skin, prevents dryness and gently cleans the skin.
• Handmade soaps preserve the integrity of its ingredients like oils, butter and fats. For example, if coconut oil is used to make a soap then during saponification the natural vitamins, minerals and skin loving qualities of the oil will be preserved. Thus making it fit to use.
