There is an abundance of information and research on the ingredients of soap. The top scientists have concluded that any soap containing chemical ingredients will aggravate sensitive skin, thereby giving soap makers a dilemma as they struggle to define the word “Natural” when labelling their products.
People will panic buy believing the more expensive bathing products to be totally natural. It is better to examine the intrinsic link between nature and cleansing. Old wives tales of people using sugar as a soap to scrub away excess oil and lemon juice to add essential oils to the skin are important components of the soap makers legacy. They must lay claim to using 100% natural ingredients to sell their product.
