Difference between A Handmade Soap & Store-Bought Manufactured soap

I love to ask this question to my friends and customers and share our knowledge because one should know #whatweputonourskin?

There are different types of soaps people use while having a bath or in a shower; there are soap bars, liquid soaps, shampoos & conditioners, etc. With this, all various kinds of chemical composition are used, which people ignore to read.

First and foremost, if you cannot read what’s written on the ingredients list (if it goes ‘blah.. blah.. blahhh..’ ) then please leave the product down and go for all natural, organic handmade products instead of manufactured ones.

When you buy a bar of handmade soap and if you have any questions then your question are answered directly (if you are in the store) or online as most of the soapers like to learn from the customer and get to know your requirements to make some soaps for them. When you buy a store-bought soap and have a question to ask, the stakeholders of the companies are not replying to each and every individual, there are IVR or call centers working for them. Now let’s go to the next point, where the real deal is.

#2:>> The Glycerin Game!

Glycerin is made by heating triglyceride-rich vegetable fats — such as palm, soy and coconut oils, etc.— under pressure or together with a strong alkali, such as lye. This causes the glycerin to split away from the fatty acids and mix together w
