Why Use Handcrafted Soap?

posted May 17, 2013   category » Dry Skin
Most commercial soaps contain harsh chemicals, detergents, and have all or most of the natural glycerin removed from them and sold to a variety of other industries. Without natural glycerin many people experience dry, tight, or itchy skin.  This can be especially harsh on those with sensitive skin or skin conditions. Natural handcrafted soap contains all the natural glycerin created during the saponification process along with all the natural benefits of the oils used.
 
Our handcrafted soap is made using the “cold-process” method. During this “cold-process” method the fats and oils used in the soap is mixed with a controlled amount of alkali (sodium hydroxide and water, also known as lye) at controlled temperatures. This starts the saponification process changing the molecular structure of our mixture, creating natural glycerin, and leading it on the way to being soap. Once our mixture meets a thin trace essential oils, fragrance oils, herbs or any other additives are mixed in. The mixture is then poured into molds, insulated at a controlled temperature and approximately 24 hours later removed from the mold and set to cure for a few weeks. No lye remains in the final product and the end result is a nice firm bar of soap rich with natural glycerin, fats, and oils ready for your use.  The Soap Spot by Aisling lists ingredients for each handcrafted soap so you know exactly what you are putting on your skin and can be confident it is truly pure soap and not a detergent or synthetic chemicals.

Our soaps contain no genetically modified oils (GMO) and are vegan except for those containing goat milk. You will discover with us selections of soaps made with Organic Ingredients, Natural with Scent, and Unscented.  We are pleased to be your reliable resource and your spot for quality handcrafted soap!
