Natural Facial Soap
Natural soaps are not only an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional soaps but also impress primarily with their skin-friendly effects. They gently cleanse and nourish with valuable ingredients. The benefits of natural soaps are based on pure, natural ingredients derived from high-quality plant oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, or shea butter.
Are natural soaps suitable for facial cleansing?
Facial soaps were long frowned upon because the predominantly offered industrially produced soaps often used inferior (animal) fats, chemical preservatives, and excessive artificial fragrances. In contrast, artisanally made natural soaps consist of balanced recipes with plant-based ingredients like wheat germ oil, olive oil, sesame oil, cocoa butter, or shea butter, all of which contain important antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids. The re-fatting properties of these natural oils not only provide the skin with moisture but also protect our facial skin from drying out and preserve the skin’s natural protective film.
Whether facial soaps for blemished, sensitive, or dry skin, the cold-process soaps are of a completely different quality level than industrial soaps. They exclusively contain natural ingredients including natural glycerin formed during the saponification process. The alkaline pH of solid natural soaps causes the stratum corneum of the facial skin to swell slightly, promoting skin renewal and re-fatting. This protects the skin from drying out. Therefore: hand-mixed soaps from small soap workshops are perfect for facial cleansing – please try them!
Skin-friendly, environmentally friendly, and sustainable
Sustainably sourced and biodegradable ingredients make natural soaps the perfect choice for environmental protection. Their avoidance of harmful chemicals does not burden water bodies or ecosystems and contributes to sustainable consumption. Moreover, soaps are very economical and offer an optimal cost-benefit profile.
Variety of natural scents
Another advantage of natural soaps lies in their wide selection of scents, which are exclusively derived from natural essential oils. These subtle fragrances not only provide a pleasant feeling during use but can also have positive effects on mood.
