In this era and with so many choices in the beauty aisle, we at Fresh Suds Soapery believe that vegan, all natural soap is THE product you need to be purchasing for your skin care routine. Here are the top five reasons to choose a plant based beauty product today.
1 - Commercial soaps are bad for your skin - These soaps are often made with harsh chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens that strip down your skin, dry it out and often cause allergic reactions. These chemicals can erase all the nutrients in your skin leaving it dry and flaky.
2- Knowledge of ingredients - In vegan handmade soap, you can almost always identify all the ingredients in the soap. They are made of base oils such as sunflower, apricot kernel oil, olive oil, coconut oil and butters such as shea, mango or cocoa butter. All of these oils have their own benefits for your skin that will help keep it moisturized and full of nutrients and antioxidants.
3- Environmentally friendly - Ingredients used in vegan all natural soap are mostly sustainable and friendly to the environment. Additionally, handmade artisanal products use recyclable and sustainable packaging. If you choose a handmade soap that is free from palm oil such as the soaps from Fresh Suds Soapery, you will be even more environmentally friendly, as palm oil has been linked to the deforestation of the Amazon.
4- Cruelty free - Vegan all natural soaps do not use any ingredients that come from animals. Nor are they tested on animals. This fact makes it an easy choice for those who care about animal welfare.
5 - Rich in nutrients - Plant-based ingredients used in vegan soap have a number of nutrients in them. For example, olive oil is high in antioxidants, it’s rich in vitamin A and B, it can help reduce inflammation and be a wonderful moisturizer.
Each ingredient used in vegan natural skin care products has a purpose in enriching and moisturizing your skin.
We’ve given you the strongest reasons why you might want to choose a vegan all natural soap in the future on your next purchase of soap. If you choose to buy from a business that makes handmade products, you will also be choosing to support a small business.
