DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMEMADE AND COMMERCIAL SOAPS
During the first world war, commercial soap, as we know it today, came into existence. The injuries of war brought an increased need for cleaning agents, but the ingredients needed to make soap were scarce. German scientists created a new form of “soap” made with various synthetic compounds and as a result, detergents were born. Most commercial soaps available today are actually detergents which are made with petroleum by-products. Since these “soaps” are detergents, by law they may not be called soap.
Our homemade soaps are made with just simple organic non-toxic products which have been tested on myself, family and friends.
