Indiana SoapWorks - Natural Handmade Soap
Description
At Indiana SoapWorks we make our soap completely from scratch to ensure that only the finest ingredients are used. Our soaps are made using the cold process method to produce a hard, long lasting bar of soap. If you’ve never experienced the luxury of handmade soap and body products, you’re in for a treat. You’ll enjoy healthier skin with less itching and dryness. Try it for yourself and see the difference natural products can make. We think you’ll be impressed. Following is some information that may interest you:
Natural handmade soap is mild and less irritating than typical commercial soaps. Commercial soaps (bar soaps and body washes) contain detergents that strip away the skin's natural oils. Next time you're in the store aisle, take a look at soap. Most of what you will see won't be called soap at all, but rather body bars, beauty bars, or body washes instead. That's because it can't technically be called soap if it contains detergents. Many people are sensitive or even allergic to the detergents found in commercial soaps and find themselves with chronic itchy, dry skin. Our skin is our body's defense so it's important to treat it kindly. Many people with eczema and sensitive skin will use nothing but natural soap. I use it on myself and my family and we rarely need lotion. During a bath or shower, the soap you use to clean yourself should wash away the dirt and odors, not your skin's own oils that it needs to protect you from the environment. If you are consistently slathering yourself with lotion or heavy creams after you bathe, then perhaps the 'soap' you're currently using should be tossed and replaced with a mild and gentle bar of handmade natural soap.
Mineral oil is a by-product from the refining process of fossil fuel, such as gasoline. Fossil fuels were formed in the earth, beginning millions of years ago, from decaying plants and animals. The organic chemicals in their bodies are the source of the petroleum products we use today. Products containing mineral oil, petrolatum or petroleum jelly are said to have negative effects on hormones and the skin’s ability to breathe, attract moisture and detoxify. It can also slow down cell renewal. It is not easily absorbed into the skin, but if absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and when it reaches the intestines, it pulls water and vitamins from the body. Mineral oil can be found in such things as baby oil, most commercial and many handmade creams and lotions, lipsticks, lip balms and even certain foods and vitamin/mineral supplements. Even though mineral oil is natural, the methods used to purify it are not. I am leery about using it on my body or eating foods containing mineral oil. I choose not to use it in my products to be on the safe side. I encourage you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.
