Soap

More and more people are trying and using

 handmade

 and handcrafted soaps and products due to the fact

 that

 there is more and more information available to the

 average consumer about what is being used in

 products

 that you buy in the stores. And also there side effects

 and

 long term effects.

*****

 A little info on store bought soap;

commercial soaps are

 not as "clean" as you might think. First of all,

commercial

soaps contain harmful FD&C dyes, which are known

 to

 cause cancer, chromosome damage, hyperactivity,

 hives, etc. Furthermore, name brand soaps spend

 more

 money on their packaging than the actual soap (not

 to

 mention advertising expenses). The naturally-

occurring

glycerin, a moisturizer, is also removed from 

commercial

 soaps (so the bars are harder and longer-lasting). 

This is

 why we can't wash our faces with commercial soap, 

and

 instead need to now buy an additional product

 (presumably offered by the same company) to wash

 our

 faces. Another danger of store-bought soap is that

 animal testing is still being used.  Possibly even more

 disturbing is that many

 name brand soaps are made with animal by-products

 (tallow, lard). Not only are these by-products full of

 toxic

 growth hormones, but they clog pores.
