If something is artificially manipulated in a lab (ie compounds are put together in ways that don’t occur in this way in nature), then this won’t make it into our soaps. Using natural soap is great, but when it comes to dishwashing soap, functionality is equally as important. Many natural dishwashing soaps just can't stand up to the demands of dirty dishes. But the Mrs. Meyers Liquid Dish Soap is a highly effective natural dish soap option. Oatmeal and goat's milk are two of the best soap ingredients for sensitive skin. That's why we recommend the Soap Haven Oatmeal Soap if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or another skin condition. Its soothing ingredients can calm skin irritation, without any unnecessary additives like sulfates that might worsen dryness or irritation.

While no actual hard soap, or bottled liquid soap, grows on trees; nature does produce a number of plants that contain saponins. BUY: Southern Natural Goat Milk Soap Bar Best Natural Body Soap - First Botany All-Natural Tea Tree Body Wash Soap made without sulfates and unnecessary chemicals is much better for the health of your skin in the long run. If there were lye in our soap and we didn’t list it in our ingredients, then we would be breaking the law. Anyone who has cooked lentils will also have noticed the bubbles they produce when you rinse them. Again, this is to do with their natural saponins. In India, lentil-water is still used by some today to wash their hair.People with eczema often find their skin is easily irritated by soaps with artificial fragrances, harsh cleansers, or drying ingredients. It can be hard to find a soap that will soothe, not irritate, the skin. If you have eczema, we recommend the Southern Natural Goat Milk Soap Bar. Goat milk is very nourishing to the skin, and this soap is made with other ingredients that are meant to soothe and moisturize irritated skin. The healthiest soap for your body is one that cleans your skin without stripping it of its natural protective barrier. It's also important to avoid parabens and other unsafe chemicals. Is natural soap actually better? When we call our soap ‘natural’, what we mean is that all the ingredients we use to make it are natural. What is our definition of natural? Well a commonsense one. If it comes from or is a plant, vegetable, mineral or animal byproduct (e.g. honey or milk) then its natural. Hence our use of e.g. olive oil (from the olive fruit) and shea butter (from the shea nut) in our soaps. Lye’, or an alkali, IS used to saponify our olive and coconut oils (make them into soap), but none remains in our final bars. Note: all our soaps are vegetarian and therefore no actual parts of animals (e.g. lard or cochineal) are present in any of our soaps.

The only exception are tiny amounts of very stubborn cocoa butter in the depths of winter, that we heat very very slowly. And while it may be a bit more drying than you'd prefer for use on your skin or hair, it's safe to use it that way if you don't mind. This soap is a natural and versatile option for anyone who wants their soap to be plant-based but also effective. What We Like Yes we do, otherwise the olive oil we sent you in the post wouldn’t clean you. It would just be olive oil.

Natural products are even more important when cleansing the delicate, sensitive skin of your face which is why we recommend the InstaNatural Vitamin C Face Wash. This gel cleanser is made with natural ingredients high in antioxidants, like aloe and green tea extract. Vitamin C is also great for firming up skin and reducing fine lines. We’re very happy to pass this cost-saving onto you, our loyal customers. It all helps make ethically-produced natural soaps as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. You’ll also be pleased to know that they’re made in the UK. The soap also has small pieces of oatmeal in the soap, which adds a gentle exfoliation. If your skin can tolerate mild exfoliation, we highly recommend giving the Soap Haven Oatmeal Soap a try. What We Like
