Why natural soaps?

My skin used to be very dry, no matter what soaps or creams I used. Liquid soaps were even worse. My hair used to be thin and flat and my scalp felt like sandpaper after washing it. At one point I even had eczema, so I desperately wanted to find a solution to save my skin.
As for me skincare starts with a clean skin therefore I was looking for a simple bar of soap. If it has the correct nutrients, there is no need for tons of creams and lotions to restore the damage.

I first discovered hand-made soaps at farmers‘ markets and it was a revelation that soaps can be made of real oils and fats, no additives, no chemicals, no petroleum, no artificial bubbles and scents! All of these ingredients irritates the skin. And what’s more: it doesn’t require a mysterious chemical lab to produce.
This is fantastic!
