EXPLANATION: A cold saponified handmade soap keeps its natural vegetable glycerin
The artisanal method requires know-how and precious molding and drying time of more than 8 weeks while it solidifies in 3 minutes.
However, in industry it is not possible to manufacture large quantities. It's too fast a process to be poured into molds. So manufacturers have added water to slow solidification (which can last up to 1 week instead of 3 minutes).
The water added in hot manufacturing (like that of the famous Marseille soap) has the property of causing Glycerin which then becomes a second product of saponification much more profitable, as it is sold 50 times more expensive than soap. The soap then becomes a by-product of the manufacture of Glycerin.
The soap, without its natural glycerin, then becomes more aggressive on the skin. Unfortunately containers of soap (without glycerin) arrive from Asia in shavings and we are content to put them in a mold in France.
So, as these soaps without natural vegetable glycerin are too detergent, we now manufacture "soap-free soaps" made from petrochemicals, also called "Syndets", which have a neutral pH7, but which are filled with chemical ingredients that are harmful to the skin and the body.
But, you can only make a real soap in an artisanal way. We do not know how to make it industrially.
To be sure that your soap is of good quality, we have had it produced in an ancestral "artisanal" and "cold saponified" way.
Perhaps you have already used soaps that have left you feeling tight and uncomfortable, so this is an opportunity to try a cold saponified soap and see the difference!
This soap made by hand by my soap maker in Savoie is similar to a treatment and offers real benefits for the skin, let's find out why.
