In today's world, a significant portion of our bathroom and kitchen cabinets is filled with plastic packaging. Fortunately, there is a growing collective awareness regarding our consumer behavior, leading to the replacement and elimination of plastic packaging.

When it comes to soap, a bottle of liquid soap mainly consists of water to maintain the soap's liquid consistency. However, the choice of water for this convenience unfortunately means that the soap spoils more quickly, requiring the addition of chemicals to prolong its shelf life. But the story doesn't end with chemical preservatives in shower gel or factory soap. The addition of synthetic (and therefore unnatural) fragrances and foaming agents is also detrimental to our skin and our planet! These chemical substances can cause skin irritations and end up in nature via wastewater because our drainage systems are not capable of filtering them out.

Step into the world of traditional soapmaking and join the movement away from plastic pollution.

A bottle of liquid soap is often just a diluted solution of a bar of soap in water with the addition of various chemicals. This water also needs to be transported if we want all those bottles of shower gel and hand soap in stores and at your home.

So, there are plenty of reasons to return to the charming craft of soapmaking! By making soap yourself, you can be critical of your raw materials and only use natural and sustainable ingredients. No additional chemicals are needed to extend the soap's shelf life, you eliminate unnecessary packaging, and you have the freedom to work with organic oils and butters, natural colorants, and gentle scrubs. This ensures that the soaps are gentle on the skin.
