Supermarket Soap is not real soap it's a detergent.

You use soap every day—but do you really know what’s in it? Most supermarket soaps are packed with synthetic detergents, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals that do more harm than good. Today, we’re breaking down the difference between commercial and natural soap, so you can make a smarter choice for your skin.


What’s in Supermarket Soap?

Most mass-produced soaps aren’t actually soap—they’re detergents. Here’s what’s lurking inside:

  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): A foaming agent that can strip your skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

  • Artificial Fragrances: These can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, some of which may trigger allergies or skin sensitivities.

  • Preservatives & Parabens: Used to extend shelf life, but some have been linked to hormone disruption.

  • Tallow (Animal Fat): Often used in cheap soaps but can clog pores and leave a heavy residue on your skin.


What Makes Natural Soap Different?

True soap is made using a simple process that combines plant-based oils, butters, and lye. Here’s why it’s better:

  • Naturally Moisturizing: Ingredients like shea butter, olive oil, and cocoa butter hydrate your skin instead of stripping it.

  • Real Scents from Essential Oils: No synthetic fragrances—just pure, natural scents from essential oils like eucalyptus, cedar, and blood orange.

  • No Harsh Chemicals: No parabens, no sulfates, no artificial preservatives—just pure, skin-friendly goodness.


Why Your Skin Needs Better Soap

Your skin is your largest organ, and what you put on it matters. Choosing a natural soap means fewer irritants, better hydration, and long-term benefits for your skin health. Plus, it’s better for the environment—no microplastics, no unnecessary waste, just biodegradable, natural ingredients.
