Step into the bathroom of someone who has made the switch to natural soap, and you'll find something more than a bar. That carved slab of botanicals tells a story of gentle care, of skin soothed not stripped, of complexions nourished instead of irritated. For people with dry, sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, that story often comes with a surprising plot twist — dramatic improvement.

Natural ingredients bolster the moisture in your skin.  Controlling the oils that touch your skin will enable you to move towards a healthier skin experience.  Coconut oil can be harsh for some people's skin because it strips the oil and can leave itchy redness.  Other prefer the more aggressive effects of coconut oils because their skin is naturally more oily.  You have to decide what is right for you.  

The other end of the soap oils spectrum is olive oil.  Olive oil is hypo-allergenic and works really well for people whose skin is naturally dry and would not benefit from oils stripped from the skin.

Some people are allergic to soap fragrances.  Even though certain herbs, like lavender, have beneficial properties, their skin just gets a red and irritated reaction is there is any fragrance in their skin products.

Make the choice that is right for you and your skin.
