Compare to the commercially produced soaps which made up from a bulk of chemical substances, the cold process soap could be your better choice for skin cleansing products.
If you wish to upgrade your life quality and you don't wish to violate your health, do not compromise anymore to using those low-quality soaps. Let us list out the reasons we should use cold process soaps instead of the others.
1. The Soap contains Glycerin
In order to produce the soap in a large batch, the commercials' soap maker normally will be using the hot process to makes soap.
Using this method will remove the natural glycerin contains in the soap while the saponification process occurring. Glycerin is a natural substance that could act as a skin moisturizer and protect our skin to be over-drying.
Glycerin is an expensive ingredient that could be sold to another factory or process it for making lotion and moisturizers. Therefore, the commercial soap we normally use could be considered as a harsh detergent that washes away the natural moisture that protects the surface of our skin.
2. Healing effects for our skin
The natural glycerin contains in the cold process soap could act as a natural protectant for our skin to prevent the itchiness caused by over-drying skin. Besides that, the cold process soap could maintain the nutrients contents in the oils and maximize the effect of each specific oils in healing the skin problems. Like olive oil, it could anti-aging and keep our skin from dryness.

3. Free from artificial chemical Ingredients
Commercial making soap contains an artificial chemical that is harmful to our health. Our skin is porous and absorbent, it will absorb whatever it comes in contact with.
Long term exposure to the chemical will cause the toxins store in our body fat and the organs. For example, Triclosan which contains in some of the antibacterials body shampoos has been reported may cause cancer for long exposure to the skin.
4.Eco-friendly
Chemical ingredients that harmful for environments like Phthalates (found in the fragrance) and Paraben (preservative) have entered our ecosystem while the lather goes down the drain after cleaning our body.
These pollutants cause our planet prone to cancer and affect the reproductive system of the animals and humans. Without using the commercial soap that contains many types of chemicals could prevent the pollutants from continues to increase in our ecosystems.
5. Support Local business and small business
Because of the troublesome process and time-consuming process to produce the cold process soap. Therefore, a lot of the cold process soap is made from the local and small businesses in small quantities.
To produce a ready to use cold process soap, need to take at least 1 month to wait for the saponification process complete. Therefore, buying cold process soap from a reliable local producer may help the local business flourish and create more job opportunities for the local society too.
