Evidence abounds of healing properties of a handmade bar of soap. Those who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as people that have sensitive skin or are hypoallergenic often find immediate relief by switching to handmade soap. Compared to store bought soap, handmade soap is very mild. They are often made from vegetable-based oils, such as olive, coconut, and palm and do not contain potentially harmful chemicals found in conventional bar soap. One of biggest differences between commercial soap and handmade soap is glycerine. Glycerine is a clear liquid that absorbs water from air and is a key factor in keeping skin soft and healthy. Glycerin soap is especially good for sensitive and delicate skin, and for children. Because it is a high quality by-product in soap making process, many mass commercial soap manufacturers often extract glycerine and sell it as a by-product to be used in higher priced products like lotions and skin creams.
