Handmade soap is better than commercial soap because it retains naturally occurring glycerin, a powerful humectant that deeply moisturizes the skin. Commercial brands often strip this glycerin out to sell for other products and rely on synthetic detergents, parabens, and harsh foaming agents (like SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate) that can strip and irritate your skin. Does cold process soap contain lye? No, cold process soap does not contain lye. Lye transforms completely during the saponification process and becomes soap. How long does a bar of handmade soap last?
