removed the skin-loving glycerin from them and replaced with synthetic
foaming agents. This features will make your skin dry. As information for
you, a bar of soap has to pass saponification chemical process first before
its send to the markets.
Basically, the soap maker will blend oils (fat) with sodium hydroxide (lye)
and the chemical process that follows to make soap. When handmade soap is
finished saponifying, there will be no lye left in the soap. All lye has
been neutralized during the chemical reaction in the process. Don't worry
about the moisturizer. During the saponification process, glycerin is
produced naturally. This is the main feature which moisturizing the skin.
Some soaps also have to pass superfatting process. This process means that
when they figure up the formula to make a soap, the soap maker add a little
more oil than the lye.

the soap and helps to moisturize your skin. Usually, the soap maker uses
100% sea butter for the superfat. As we know, sea butter has many good
benefits without the oily feeling. Your skin will feel so normal and healthy
without any oily pores. Well, handmade soap has many good ingredients. Soap
makers use many natural things to get the most beautiful and moisturize
