Handmade Soaps and Bath Bombs (Skin Care)
Organic soaps made with all-natural ingredients are crafted to nourish and cleanse the skin without the use of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or artificial dyes. Here are some key characteristics and benefits of such soaps:
Ingredients
- Natural Oils and Butters: These soaps often include moisturizing oils like coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, or shea butter, which hydrate and soften the skin.
- Essential Oils: For fragrance, they use pure essential oils derived from plants like lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, or peppermint, which can also provide therapeutic benefits.
- Plant-Based Additives: Ingredients like oatmeal, aloe vera, or chamomile are added for soothing and exfoliating properties.
- Natural Colorants: Color is achieved with clays, activated charcoal, turmeric, or spirulina, avoiding artificial dyes.
- Saponification Process: The soap is made using a natural process where oils react with lye, creating soap and glycerin, which retains skin’s moisture.
