Homemade Organic Soap

handmade organic soap

Have you ever thought of making of your own soap? Probably not, but a growing number of people are either buying organic soap from the store or handmaking (cooking) soap at home.

Organic personal care products are now a $750 million annual business in the U.S. alone. Soap is on the front-lines of organic personal care because conventional mass-market soap is often loaded with chemicals that may cause more conflicts with skin allergies. Conventional soap contains a chemical soup of preservatives, colour, and in some cases known cancer-linked toxins like dioxane, parabens, sodium lauryl / laureth sulfate (SLS/SLES), diethanolamine / DEA and propylene glycol.

Skin sensitivities and allergies can be a catalyst for people to try organic soap or make it themselves. Here is an example of what the homemade soap process looks like via Mickey's YouTube Channel 'HandmadeSoaps'.
