Benefits of handmade bar soap over shower gel
Natural bar soap is slowly gaining momentum back to showers and bathrooms around the world. While it’s still a niche preference for those who set intention on what to bring into their home and put on their skin, chances are you have noticed “expensive” soap bars popping up in the marketplace.
Estas Curado 100% handmade soap bar with essential oils. No Synthetic Fragrances.
How can the lowly soap be elevated to such status? Let’s take a moment to gather some facts. You may decide bar soap is what you want and need.
Consider solid bar soap vs. liquid body wash or shower gel.
First thing first - we are talking about quality, small-batch bar soap made from scratch with raw ingredients. We are not referring to commercial “beauty bars” you find in grocery stores or drug stores. Here's the difference:
Curado Cuban oregano Soap bar for Dry Sensitive Skin with castor oil increased the moisturising of this soap and help to relief sensative and problematic skin.
Curado shea butters soap bar are made with premium ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter, and plant-based essential oils.
Liquid soap and body wash (and many “beauty” or “cleansing” bars) are detergents in disguise - the foams and bubbles are produced by surfactants - chemical petroleum by-products. It dries your skin and disrupts the natural balance of the skin’s protective properties.
Curado Soap bar to keep your skin soft and supple. No parabans. No synthetic fragrances. No SLSs.
Our Hero products - Curado all-in-one soap bar, consis of both Shea butter, Cuban oregano and coconut oil that helps in anti bacteria, moisture and smoothen skins.
Your skin can tell the difference
Small-batch crafted soap contains naturally occurring glycerin, a humectants that attracts and retains moisture. Bar soap gained the misguided perception as being drying because many commercial “soap” is either a detergent (not real soap), or it has glycerin removed to make lotion.
No preservatives -
Bar soap does not require preservatives to stay fresh, safe, and effective. Liquid soap, hand wash, body wash (and all personal care products that contain water) must be properly preserved with preservatives. Not all preservatives are harmful, but why not avoid it altogether when you have the option? It’s better for aquatic life in the ocean and your family in the bathroom.
It lasts a long time
As long as it has a chance to air dry between uses, a bar of quality natural soap will last you a long time. We are talking about 4 to 6 weeks and longer.
Let’s pause for a second. Yes, for the price of a couple cups of cappuccino, you get to enjoy something that’s good for your skin and your soul, every single day, for over a month. How many things in your life can claim that?
