Busting the Myth: Does Handmade Soap Really Clean as Well as Commercial Soap?

One of the biggest misconceptions about handmade soap is that it doesn’t cleanse as effectively as commercial soap. Some people think that if a soap doesn’t contain synthetic detergents or antibacterial chemicals, it won’t remove dirt and oil properly.
Well, we’re here to set the record straight—our handmade soaps are just as effective (if not more so) at keeping your skin clean, fresh, and healthy!
This myth likely stems from the fact that commercial soaps are often packed with harsh detergents and antibacterial agents that create a squeaky-clean feeling. But here’s the truth:
🚫 That "squeaky clean" feeling doesn’t mean your skin is cleaner—it means your skin’s natural moisture barrier has been stripped away!
Many commercial soaps contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and other synthetic surfactants that forcefully remove oil from the skin, leaving it dry, tight, and irritated.
On the other hand, handmade soap uses natural cleansing agents that are just as effective without damaging your skin.
At My Soaps, we carefully craft our soaps using a blend of natural ingredients that provide deep cleansing without stripping the skin.
✅ Coconut Oil – Creates a rich lather that helps lift away dirt, oil, and bacteria.
✅ Palm Oil – Helps create a firm, long-lasting bar that cleanses effectively.
✅ Olive Oil – A gentle, conditioning oil that moisturizes while it cleans.
✅ Himalayan Pink Salt – A natural detoxifier that draws out impurities and deeply cleanses the skin.
Our handmade soap removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities just as well as commercial soap—without over-drying or irritating your skin.
