The Power of Glycerin in Natural Soap

There’s a lot to love about natural soap—gentle ingredients, lush lather, and scents that soothe your soul. If we had to pick a powerhouse ingredient that makes our cold process bars truly special, it’s glycerin.

You won’t see it splashed across our labels. But glycerin is quietly doing the heavy lifting when it comes to moisturizing and protecting your skin.

What Is Glycerin?

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a clear, natural humectant. This means it draws moisture from the air into your skin, helping it stay hydrated, soft, and balanced. It’s created naturally during the cold process soapmaking method—right in the middle of that magical moment called saponification.

While commercial soaps often remove glycerin to use it in lotions and other products, we leave it right where it belongs—in your bar.

Why Glycerin Matters for Your Skin

Hydration Without the Heaviness

Glycerin works with your skin’s natural moisture barrier. It hydrates from the outside in without clogging pores or feeling greasy. This is especially important for those with combination or oily skin.

Soothes and Softens

Do you have dry, sensitive, or flaky skin? Glycerin is your best friend. It helps calm irritation, reduce roughness, and leave skin silky-smooth. The soothing properties make it ideal for daily use.

All-Season Support

In winter, glycerin locks in moisture. In summer, it keeps your skin from feeling stripped. It’s like a built-in skincare routine in every bar. You can enjoy healthy skin year-round with glycerin-infused soap.

Gentle Enough for Everyone

Because glycerin is non-irritating and non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for all skin types—including sensitive or acne-prone skin. You can trust it to hydrate without causing breakouts or irritation.

The Truth About Soap

Here’s the catch: not all soap has glycerin. In fact, most mass-produced soap-like products are actually synthetic detergents. This means no glycerin, no skin benefits, and often, extra drying agents.

The Value of Cold Process Soap

Cold process soap is the real deal. It doesn’t cut corners. No glycerin is stripped out, just a rich, skin-loving lather created the traditional way. Real soap offers the benefits that your skin craves.

Why You’ll Only Find It in Real Soap

Not all soaps provide the same benefits. Many commercial options lack the necessary ingredients to support your skin. When shopping for soap, be mindful. Look for those that prioritize natural ingredients like glycerin.
