The Staiano Soap Shop
Why Use Homemade Soaps?
Why is homemade soap different from commercial soap and better for you?
During saponification (the process by which the vegetable fats and the alkali base chemically combine to form "soap"), a by-product called glycerin is formed. This glycerin is so valuable as a skin care product that commercial soap makers skim the glycerin from their soap and market it as a by-product. All of our handcrafted soap still contains glycerin for the benefit of your skin. My Goat Milk Shampoo Bar will leave your hair soft and shiny, and feeling full of body!
Many people in the world suffer from dry and sensitive skin. As a result, there are literally hundreds of products to choose from that claim to cure or relieve a variety of skin-related symptoms. However, the overwhelming majority of these products are essentially chemically created detergents. For example, one of the most well-known commercial soap products is the "Dove Beauty Bar". Compare the ingredients in a "Dove Beauty Bar" to the ingredients in one of our Staiano homemade bars:
"Dove Beauty Bar" - Ingredients include sodium cocoylisethionate, stearic acid, sodium tallowate, sodium isethionate, coconut acid, sodium stearate, sodium dodecylbenzene, sodium chloride, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and Trisodium ENTA.
Our Famous Goat's Milk Bar - Ingredients include purified water, goat's milk, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil, jojoba, silk fibers, herbs, essential oils and fragrances.
Now which bar would you rather use?
Commercial soaps may be cheaper to buy but they are not a good value for your hard-earned dollar. Oftentimes, a typical consumer winds up spending more money than they have to by purchasing overpriced creams and lotions to medicate dry skin, which is actually being aggravated and made worse by that cheaper, chemically processed bar of soap. Homemade soaps also last longer and don't melt away as quickly as most commercial soaps do.
You owe it to yourself to try our all-natural, homemade soaps.
Each of our bars represents a solid value for your money. You will notice how soft and smooth your skin feels well before your first bar of soap is gone. Chemicals or all-natural ingredients ..... the choice is yours!
