Natural soaps are usually made of rich oils derived from various plants. These oils are rich in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. Human skin, hair and other parts of the body need these substances to grow and stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Many natural soaps have plenty beneficial ingredients added such as clay, salts, essential oils and botanical extracts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Handmade soaps need some time to produce and usually are used higher quality ingredients hence the added cost, but tend to be better for the skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>It is important to try a variety of natural soaps to find the one that is ideal for your skin type and preferences.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let's take a look at some of the reasons why natural soaps are the best choice for you:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddfc Natural soaps helps you save more money.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4084 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11-600x400.webp\" alt=\"\u0393\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03af \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03b9;\" width=\"329\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11-510x340.webp 510w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photo-1628282928695-29aaa1536c11.webp 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/> <\/strong><br \/>\nSome consumers don't buy natural soaps due to the cost of those products. You're probably looking at a bar of natural soap and wondering why it costs more than the regural one.<br \/>\n<strong>I mean, soap is soap, right? Both bars cleanse your skin, right? So why is the natural bar more expensive?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile I agree that both bars clean the skin you are comparing two completely different products (based on their quality characteristics).<br \/>\n<strong>Simply put, commercial soaps contain synthetic ingredients that are very cheap to produce in a lab.<\/strong> Commercial soap companies don't want natural oils in their soaps because they shorten the shelf life. But without these oils, you are not moisturizing your skin properly. So even though a commercial soap may cost less, what happens to the cost once you add in the final cost the cream and the body lotion (which are also full of chemicals)? Also, many of the synthetic ingredients required to create foam, colors, fragrance and shelf life are known to be skin irritants. If your soap causes irritated skin, change to a natural soap that can reduce your visits to the dermatologist. On the other hand if you use liquid body soap the main ingredient is water. So you are spending your money for water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\ud83e\uddfc Choosing a real soap. <\/strong><br \/>\nMany products  are advertised or marketed using terms such as \"cleanser\", \"body bar\", \"body wash\", \"beauty bar\", \"skin care bar\" and even \"deodorant soap\" are actually products based on some cleansing substances and not in real soap.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4097 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\u0393\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03af \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03b9;\" width=\"372\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/alexander-grey-Qj1Gxj8yH_c-unsplash-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">\ud83e\uddfc<\/strong><strong>Usage of quality ingredients. <\/strong><br \/>\nWhen a company makes hundreds of thousands or even million bars of soap daily, part of the profits they make come from mass production and part from using the cheapest raw materials. Many believe that synthetic products can sometimes be harmful to the endocrine, reproductive, respiratory and immune systems. Commercial soaps are known to contain Parabens, Sulphates and Triclosan, which are believed to cause allergies, affect hormone levels and possibly increase the risk of certain cancers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddfc Unique - Handmade Product.<\/strong><br \/>\nMass-produced commercial soaps are made for the efficiency of production which means too many units of the exact same size and composition. Often the focus is on profit at the expense of the health of the consumers who pay for them. Natural bars differ from commercial ones because are slight differences from bar to bar, just as the natural ingredients vary slightly depending on the manufacturing materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2761 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-400x400.png\" alt=\"cruelty-free-logo\" width=\"115\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-510x510.png 510w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-280x280.png 280w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cruelty-free-logo.png 1075w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 115px) 100vw, 115px\" \/>\ud83e\uddfc Cruelty-Free and Animal-Friendly.<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother great advantage of natural soaps is that you can be sure that no animals are harmed. The ingredients usually are plant-based (some soaps use animal fat or milk from some animal as an ingredient), are organic and their productions dont require large-scale factories that cause extensive environmental damage. The producers of natural products tend to have small places to work but also they rely on herbs and extracts to achieve their final product. Very importantly, animal testing is not necessary for these products as they are pesticide-free and chemical-free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4107 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-396x400.webp\" alt=\"\u0393\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03af \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03b9;\" width=\"123\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-396x400.webp 396w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-510x515.webp 510w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-792x800.webp 792w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-280x280.webp 280w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-768x776.webp 768w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/corky.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/eco-friendly-icon-with-hands-leaf-logo-design_448617-182-e1676894964314.webp 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 123px) 100vw, 123px\" \/>\ud83e\uddfc Better for the Environment.<\/strong><br \/>\nNatural soaps do not contaminate the environment with harmful ingredients or toxins.<br \/>\nThe natural ingredients in handmade soaps are biodegradable and do not harm the water cycle or the wildlife that share the water in our rivers, lakes and oceans with us.<br \/>\nAs we bathe or shower with commercial soaps we wash our skin with synthetic compounds such as perfumes, dyes, preservatives and detergents.<br \/>\n<strong>Now imagine the millions of people who use commercial soap every day.<\/strong> All these chemicals, many of which do not decompose naturally, have to end up  somewhere.
