Why Handmade Soap is Better for Your Skin (and the Planet)

Walk down a drugstore aisle and most “soap bars” you see aren’t technically soap at all - they’re detergent bars. (Yep, the same stuff used in laundry detergent.) That’s why your skin sometimes feels tight and dry after using them.

Handmade soap, on the other hand, is the real deal - and your skin can tell the difference.

1. Real Ingredients = Happy Skin

Handmade soaps (like ours at Oloo Farms) are made with natural oils, butters, and botanicals. No mystery chemicals, no tongue-twisting labels. Just simple ingredients your skin actually recognizes.

2. Naturally Moisturizing

Commercial soaps often strip out the glycerin (a natural moisturizer) and sell it separately in lotions. Handmade soaps keep the glycerin, which means softer, more hydrated skin straight from the bar.

3. Gentle & Customizable

Handmade soaps are crafted in small batches, often with skin-friendly extras like goat’s milk, oatmeal, or lavender. That means there’s something for everyone - from sensitive skin to those who just want to smell like a summer orchard.

4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Handmade soaps usually avoid harsh chemicals, excess packaging, and the wasteful production methods of big corporations. Choosing handmade supports small businesses and the planet at the same time. (Your shower just became a climate hero.)

5. A Luxurious Experience

Beyond function, handmade soap simply feels better. Richer lather, natural scents, and that “crafted with care” touch elevate your everyday shower into a mini spa ritual.
