Handcrafted Organic Soaps and Lotions

Organic vs Commercial Soaps and Lotions

What's the difference between soaps and lotions made by the big, commercial companies and a handcrafted, all natural, organic product?

FACT: The cosmetic industry IS NOT required by law to list their ingredients. (They are deemed Trade Secrets)

FACT: The cosmetic industry REGULATES itself with NO outside interference.

FACT: The government allows the word NATURAL and ORGANIC to be listed on products with no regulations as to what the word MEANS. This of course means that ANYONE can use those terms regardless of what their product actually contains.

NATURAL ingredients SHOULD mean that the product contains NO ARTIFICIAL, man made CHEMICAL components and hasn't, to any great degree, been altered by OVER PROCESSING.

When choosing products, wouldn't you rather go with a product that openly tells you what it contains and that promises and guaranties its natural ingredients?

Not Organic Soap?

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in the soaps and lotions that you get commercially from stores? I mean really looked at them? The print is pretty small - so if you're getting older - like me - you may have trouble seeing them without a magnifier - but do yourself a favour! LOOK!

Likely, you'll find things like "Triclosan", "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate" and "Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate" and other, very chemical sounding names.

"Yah!? So?" you're saying to yourself. "So what?"

Remember these are products that you're putting ON your skin! Run those names through a Google search! Do it now - I'll wait!

Read enough? All these products have known, negative, health effects and are suspected of being carcinogens.

Is that the type of product that you want to be using?

If not - there are alternatives.
