Soap made with natural, sustainable ingredients is simply better. If you’re a Southern Natural customer, you’ve probably already experienced the remarkable difference natural soap can make. If you aren't, we encourage you to make the switch. You'll be doing good for your skin, your community, and the planet.
What Is Natural Soap?
Soapmaking is a time-honored process that begins with selecting the right ingredients. Natural oils and fats are the key components that provide nourishment and hydration, creating a gentle lather that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Southern Natural Soap includes skin-nourishing oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil along with nutrient-dense goat’s milk in all our soaps.
During the soapmaking process, a natural chemical reaction called saponification occurs. Lye interacts with the oils and fats, transforming them into soap and natural glycerin, which helps to moisturize the skin.
What Makes Natural Soap Better Than Regular Soap?
When you compare natural soap to commercial soap, there's a clear winner. Natural soap contains gentle, nourishing ingredients like goat's milk, but regular soap is made with harsh detergents that strip the skin of natural oils. Our natural goat's milk soap prevents skin from drying out, while regular soap can cause the skin to flare up, react badly, and lead to acne and breakouts. Natural soap still has its glycerin to moisturize the skin. In contrast, regular soap has the natural glycerin removed, usually to be used for other products.
Benefits of Natural Soap
There are many reasons to choose natural soaps for your family. Here are just a few:
- Sensitive Skin & Problem Skin Friendly: Natural soap is gentle, perfect for cleansing various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and more.
- Health Benefits: Natural soap is free from harsh ingredients that can cause inflammation and long-term damage.
- Better for Frequent Use: Natural soap is moisturizing and restores nutrients to your skin, rather than depleting it and stripping it of natural oils.
- Aromatherapy Benefits: Our goat's milk soaps incorporate the benefits of various scents like lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for clear breathing, or tea tree oil for its antiseptic properties. Commercial soaps usually do not have these essential oils because their production process involves high heat that can destroy the benefits and scents of these ingredients.
- Environmentally Friendly: Our natural goat's milk soap is better for the planet. It's made from biodegradable ingredients using low-waste production methods.
- Community Benefits: Supporting small businesses like Southern Natural means investing in a company that cares about you. We're dedicated to providing you great service and treating you the way you deserve to be treated because this business is our livelihood.
Choosing natural soap is a simple switch that offers numerous advantages for your skin, health, and the environment. Try Southern Natural Soap and experience the benefits for yourself.
