Why Natural Soaps Are Softer

Natural soaps tend to be softer than commercial alternatives due to the ingredients and methods used in their creation. During the cold process soap-making method, glycerin—a natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture—is retained, making the soap more moisturizing but also softer in texture.

Additionally, natural soaps are typically made with plant-based oils and butters, which are softer than the synthetic hardening agents often found in mass-produced commercial soaps. While this results in a bar that may feel more delicate, it also means you're using a soap that's gentler and more nourishing for your skin.

To extend the life of your natural soap, we recommend storing it in a well-drained soap dish and allowing it to dry between uses.
