Handmade soap lasts longer if kept out of direct streams of water in a draining soap dish. SOAP Why is handmade soap better than commercial soap? 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? Once you begin using it in the shower, a well-cured, standard-sized bar will generally last an individual 3 to 4 weeks with daily use, kept in a well-draining soap dish. What does Artisan Soap mean? "Artisan Soap" simply means that it is handcrafted in small batches by a skilled soap maker, rather than mass-produced in a factory.
