The Price Myth: Why Do People Think Handmade Soap is Expensive?
Big-brand commercial soaps are mass-produced using cheap fillers, synthetic detergents, and preservatives to cut costs. This allows them to sell bars at rock-bottom prices—but at what cost to your skin? Many of these soaps strip your skin of moisture, leaving it dry, irritated, and in need of extra lotions and treatments (which means you’re spending even more in the long run).
On the other hand, our handmade soaps are crafted in small batches with premium ingredients—but does that really make it expensive? Not when you consider the long-term value!
The Truth About Handmade Soap & Value
When you buy handmade natural soaps, you're paying for quality, not just quantity. Let’s take a look at why it’s actually a great deal:
✅ High-Quality Ingredients – Our soaps are packed with nourishing oils like coconut oil, olive oil, and sustainably sourced palm oil, as well as botanicals and essential oils that cleanse and moisturize at the same time. No cheap fillers here!
✅ Longer-Lasting Bars – Because our soap is cured properly and made with high-quality natural ingredients, it lasts longer when stored correctly—giving you more washes per bar than you’d expect!
✅ No Need for Extra Skincare – Many commercial soaps dry out your skin, meaning you need extra moisturizers. Our handmade soaps are naturally hydrating, so you can cut down on expensive lotions.
✅ Better for Sensitive Skin – Say goodbye to harsh chemicals that cause irritation. Our soaps are crafted with gentle, skin-loving ingredients, perfect for sensitive and dry skin types.
How to Make Your Handmade Soap Last Even Longer
Want to get the most out of your natural soap bar? Follow these tips to extend its life:
1️⃣ Keep it dry between uses – Store your soap on a well-draining soap dish to prevent it from becoming mushy.
2️⃣ Use a soap saver bag – These help create extra lather and prevent waste by using every last bit of your bar.
3️⃣ Cut larger bars in half – Using smaller pieces can help you control usage and make each bar last even longer.
