The benefits of using handmade soap are many. The reasons to use a more natural product is not always obvious, however. Read on to learn more.
We live in a day and age where the technological advances are many. Many of these advances are there to make our lives easier. When it comes to skin care, and the ingredients you put on your skin, technology is probably not what you had in mind.
Commercially made soap usually contains detergents, fillers, chemicals, petroleum, high animal fat content, and irritants. Commercially made soap tends to be less eco friendly as well. While commercially manufactured soap usually costs less, the impact on your skin and the environment is less than desireable.
Natural handmade soaps are made with natural oils, have a high glycerin content, are better for the environment with no detergents or phosphates, and are never tested on animals.
Why handmade soap?
More natural. Handmade soaps are made with natural ingredients, not petro-chemicals or cheap additives.For example, Scandia Spa uses natural ingredients like olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter - just to name a few. Glycerin. Handmade soap has a naturally occuring glycerin which is known to be beneficial to the skin. Many soap manufacturers remove this valuable glycerin and repackage it within their more expensive line. As a matter of fact, we are not aware of any handmade soap manufacturers that remove beneficial ingredients. You get this skin loving glycerin in the handmade soap process - Almost like getting a 2 for 1. Why pay twice for something that you should only pay once for?
More quality. Craftedsoap.com uses only top quality ingredients, many of which are food grade.
Essential oils / Scents. There are a vast variety of choices when it comes to handmade soap. From Lavender handmade soap, Orange Tangerine handmade soap - Lilly of the Valley, Cucumber Melon, Black Rasperry - Just to name a few. There is surely a nice selection to suit your taste.

Use of natural oils. a few benefits

2006-06-26T13:05:00.000-07:00

The Use of Natural Oils Soap's quality is directly related to the quality of ingredients chosen in each recipe. Palm oil added to soap produces a hard bar of soap and makes it longer lasting. Coconut oil is moisturizing and gives a wonderful fluffy lather. Vitamin E which act as natural moisturizing, anti-oxidant, and sun protection agents. Olive oil yields an extremely mild and gentle bar of soap; it attracts moisture and holds it close to the skin. Unlike many other oils used for this purpose, olive oil used in soap does not block the pores of the skin. The skin is still able to continue sweating, releasing sebum, and shedding dead skin. It also prevents loss of natural moisture, softens skin, and attracts external moisture to the skin.The benefits of natural soap:
1. Fluffy lather that cleanse out easily
2. A self-moistuzing soap that leaves you with only soft skin after use
3. Doesn't leave any stain on your bathtub

Healthy Skin is not by accident

2006-05-15T06:08:00.000-07:00

Did you know that having beautiful skin means more that just using the proper skin care products?
Healthy skin begins on the inside. Eating the proper foods is the first step in helping your skin look its best. Vitamin C helps build collagen in our body. Poor intake of vitamin C can cause bruising, loss of elasticity, and poor healing of cuts. One daily glass of orange juice or a bowl of strawberries supplies all the vitamin C you need. Skin also needs the B vitamins found in whole grains, milk and wheat germ to help speed wound healing and prevent dry, flaky or oily skin. Vitamin A in dark orange or green vegetables and fruits, egg yolks, and liver, maintains the skin's tissues and helps to prevent premature wrinkling and scratchy skin. Vitamin D in milk might help curb symptoms of psoriasis. Zinc in meat, seafood, and legumes aids in the healing of cuts and scrapes. Water keeps the skin moist and regulates normal function of the oil glands.
Using incredible soap that continues to nourish the skin from the outside as well is another key part of healthy skin. We at www.craftedsoap.com care a full line of natural soap and natural soap products.

Essential Oils information

2006-01-24T18:06:00.000-08:00

Well, this is a perfectly normal thing to be curious about. And there are a lot of misconceptions out there...we’re glad you feel comfortable enough to ask us.
The first thing you need to know: pure essential oils are perfectly natural since they’re the essence of the plants from which they’re derived. But one of the biggest misconceptions is that every plant contains these oils this just isn't true.
Take lilac, for example – the Milli Vanilli of essential oils. Nope, there's no such thing as lilac essential oil. Lilac is a fragrance oil, which is artificial, man-made, synthetic, manufactured and not all-natural. The same can be said for pumpkin, mango and others.
Another misconception floating around is that fragrance oils have aromatherapeutic properties...which they don’t. Only products containing essential oils can truly be aromatherapeutic.

Some other essential facts:
There are 3000 essential oils worldwide, but only 300 are commonly used in products.
It takes at least one pound of any given plant to create just one drop of essential oil.
Essential oils are the most concentrated form of any botanical.
Essential oils are produced through steam or water distillation, a process in which the essential oils are physically separated from the water phase.

Goats Milk information

2006-01-24T18:00:00.000-08:00

Goats milk, the main ingredient in our Goats Milk Soap , it is a naturally ultra-moisturizing, naturally balanced for the skin, and naturally homogenized.
Unlike commercial soap, goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids, and the naturally occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fat. The result is a pH level that's well balanced for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin. The result can be oily skin, clogged pores, blackheads and – yuck – pimples.
Goats milk soap simply maintains the balance. And no worries for people who have allergies to usual dairy products or sensitive skin

Welcome to www.Craftedsoap.Com
Essential Oils in natural soap and bath products
What Are Essential OilsEssential Oils are highly concentrated and potent oils extracted from plants, leaves, flowers, roots, buds, twigs, rhizomes, heartwood, bark, resin, seeds and fruits. Essential Oils are found in special secretory glands or cells within plant life. The aromatic substances are formed and stored in certain organs of a plant as a by-product or because of its metabolism. Each essential oil has it's very own blueprint that is absolutely unique. The combination of the plants blueprints, the energy of the sun, soil, air and water gives each oil its individual perfume and beneficial healing properties. The same species of plant can produce an essential oil with different properties depending on whether it was grown in dry or damp earth, at high or low altitude, or even in hot or cold climates. According to the International Organization for Standardization, essential oils are a "product made by distillation with either water or steam or by mechanical processing of citrus rinds or by dry distillation of natural materials. Following the distillation, the essential oil is physically separated from the water phase."
Unlike vegetable oils expressed from nuts and seeds, essential oils are not actually oily. Some essential oils are viscous; others are fairly solid and most are somewhat watery. Worldwide there are 3000 different essential oils with only about 300 commonly used. Essential oils are the most concentrated form of any botanical. It takes at least one pound of any given plant to create one drop of essential oil. Essential oils provide a concentrated dose of nature's vast pharmacological active ingredients in a single drop of oil. One hundred percent pure unadulterated essential oils are distinguished by a remarkable diversity of substances that only nature could produce.
PlantsPlants smell for two main reasons, defense and attraction. The aromatic oils promote a plants growth, aid in reproduction by attracting insects, repel predators and protect them from disease. Some leaves, roots and barks have smelly molecules that are unappetizing or sickening and inhibit the growth of neighboring plants, molds, fungus' and to defend against being browsed or chewed. Flowers and fruit need to attract animals and insects for pollination and seed dispersal, so they have a sweet tempting and attractive fragrance. Plants communicate through these chemical signals, messages of scent.
Humans and animals depend on plants. A sick sheep will eat yarrow, lizards eat chamomile to relieve snake bites, cats and dogs chew on grass for stomach problems and bears will eat bear garlic as a spring tonic upon awakening from hibernation. The "therapeutic" action of essential oils is attributed to the naturally occurring chemical within the plants. There are a variety of uses for plants from essential oils, spices, teas, to beautify our environment and for herbal remedies. Plants are chemical factories, which draw energy from light, darkness, sun and earth for synthesizing these into molecules of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They are the "crude fuels" that humans and animals break down to produce adenosine triphosphate, our "high-grade fuel", when we ingest foods. Essential oils are the "high-grade fuel" of the plants themselves, the purest and highest form of the plants structure.
What is Aromatherapy and Aromachology?Aromatherapy is the art of treating the body, mind and spirit with natural aromatic substances harvested from nature's rich store. "Aroma" refers to the aromatic substances that give essential oils their characteristic smell. "Therapy" refers to the fact that essential oils have been used for healing for centuries. Aromatherapy also refers to the use of essential oils for beauty and body care treatment. Aromatherapy is one the most popular beauty treatments worldwide in clinics and spas throughout Europe.
Aromatherapy also refers to the medical practice of using essential oils in some countries. Finally, aromatherapy refers to the layman's use of essential oils for personal home use of essential oils and products containing pure unadulterated essential oils. Aromachology is the study of psychology and odors. The terms aromatherapy and aromachology are often used to differentiate the science, study and theory (aromachology) from the application by clinicians and aromatherapists (aromatherapy).
Inhalation of Essential Oils; The Psychology and PhysiologyEssential Oils enter the body through the skin and nose. They have tiny molecules, which disperse into the air and reach the nose. When inhaled the oils reach the olfactory epithelium, a small patch at the top of the nasal cavity, which contains about 5 million receptor cells. Odors are converted into messages, which are relayed to the brain for processing.
Brain activity has been observed and documented by brain scans and other imaging techniques. Smell triggers psychological and physiological responses in the body. Smell receptor cells transmit impulses about the smell to the olfactory area of the brain in the limbic system, which is linked, to memory, emotions, hormones, sexuality and heart rate. These impulses trigger neurochemicals and endorphins that can stimulate, sedate, relax, produce gratifying sensations, restore emotional equilibrium, or cause euphoria, thereby bringing about a mental and a physical change. The limbic system plays an important role in provoking feelings and memories and can assist in stimulating learning and retention. The limbic system works in coordination with the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus area of the brain to regulate the hormonal activities of the endocrine system, triggering the production of hormones that govern appetite, body temperature, insulin production, overall metabolism which influence immunity, stress levels, sex drive, conscious thoughts and reactions. In the limbic system is the amygdala where we process anger, the septum pellucidum, where we process pleasure sensations and the hippocampus, which regulates how much attention we give our emotions and memories.
Additionally, smells have a powerful effect on the sex drive. One out of every four people who suffer from anosmia, a loss or impairment of smell, lose interest in sexual activity. Smells trigger a memory response. Smell memories may trigger changes in body temperature, appetite, stress level and sexual arousal. There are no short-term memories with odors, that is why a whiff of a familiar perfume can bring back a flood of memories so vivid it brings tears of joy because of the direct physical route which exists between memory and smell. Smells can transport us through time and distance. Have you ever walked into a room and smelled the exact smell your Grandmother wore, and found yourself smiling warmly without even realizing it. Conversely if you come across a smell that floods you with negative memories you may find your heart rate racing and a nauseous feeling at the pit of your stomach. Smell has a chemical response to stimuli, which explains the wave of chemical response to your stomach when confronted with a negative smell. A yummy smell may make you hungry because it sends a chemical reaction that stimulates your gastric juices. Vladimir Nabokov wrote, "Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell." The average person takes about five seconds to breathe, two seconds to inhale and three to exhale. During an average year, we breathe 6,307,200 times and with every breath, we smell. The human body is capable of registering and recognizing thousands of different smells. Smell is ten times more sensitive than taste. Although smell is incredibly precise, it is almost impossible to describe a smell to someone who has not smelled it. It only takes 0.5 seconds to respond to smell as compared to 0.9 seconds to react to pain. We all have our own genetic encoded odor print as individual as our fingerprints and only identical twins smell alike.
Additionally, women who live together have the tendency to menstruate at the same time every month. This is attributed to a natural scent regulation of women living in close quarters who pick up a subtle glandular odor allowing their bodies to regulate themselves by using the pheromones.
Absorption of Essential Oils through the SkinSkin is the largest organ of the body, weighing in at an average of 9 lbs. Our skin is a living, dying and rejuvenating organ, constantly on the move. Ill treatment of the skin can take 3 to 4 months to have an effect and visa versa. Skin is the packaging that keeps us warm, stops our insides from falling out and keeps the rain out. It is our outer warning system, alerting our brain about the environment we encounter. Skin is mostly waterproof, however it does allow substances with small molecular structures and low molecular weight to penetrate it. Molecules of essential oils pass through the skin's epidermis and are carried away by the capillary blood circulating in the dermis. They are then taken into the lymphatic and extracellular fluids at which point the therapeutic ingredients of the essential oils are broken down and used by various regions of the body. After the essential oils perform healing functions they are metabolized and eliminated with the bodies other waste. Skin is our largest elimination organ. It takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 7 hours for skin to fully absorb essential oils, depending on body fat. Essential Oils are eliminated from our bodies within 3 to 26 hours through our saliva, urine, feces or sweat in a healthy adult. Essential Oils work as rubbish collectors, attaching themselves to toxins, free-radicals, cell debris, heavy metals, renegade cells, fungi, bacteria, viruses or other debris and taking them to the exits for disposal. Because of this, in an unhealthy adult, it can take up to 14 hours for the essential oils to pass through the body. The human body takes the most vital properties of essential oils and uses them to bring itself into balance and is left in a healthier state without side effects.
It is easy to test the absorption of essential oils. If you were to smear lavender essential oil onto your cheek, you would taste the lavender inside your mouth. Garlic essential oil can be smeared onto your ankle and the aroma will soon appear in your breath. Components of essential oils can be found in a blood sample taken after an application of essential oils. Essential oils can stimulate circulation to the surface skin cells, encourage cell regeneration and the formation of new skin cells. Some essential oils calm inflamed or irritated skin, release muscle spasms, soothe sore muscles and relieve muscular tension. Many scientist believe that essential oils stimulate the body's own natural defense systems. The positive effect of essential oils on blood circulation is well known. Studies have found that basil, tea tree and thyme essential oils can encourage the production of white blood cells, boosting the immune system of the body.
Essential Oils at WorkCertain essential oils act as natural balancers. They become adaptagens and will instigate a reaction in the body that is appropriate to achieve a state of homeostasis or balance. These reactions affect the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system, blood pressure, hormone balance as well as many other systems. They respond to the human bodies need at any given time. For instance, if the system is stimulated the essential oil will have a relaxing effect. If the system is worn down and sluggish the essential oil will have a stimulating effect. The human body is able to take from the essential oil that which is good. Essential oils also work as phytohormones. The molecules mimic some of the hormones naturally occurring in the human body. They act as messengers or keys to the related systems.
When a combination is more than the sum of the parts, a synergetic effect has been created. Mixing together two or more essential oils creates a chemical compound that is different to any of the component parts. Synergetic blends are very powerful and potent.
Extraction of Essential OilsThe majority of essential oils are produced by steam distillation. Through steam distillation, the oily components of the plant are separated from the watery ones. The oily, volatile components are the basis of the plants scent. Through steam distillation, the essential oils are extracted from special glands or ducts of the plant. During the process of steam distillation, plant material is heated with water and brought to a boil. The steam, which contains the volatile essential oil runs through a cooler, it condenses and the oil is separated from the water and collected.
Other methods of extracting essential oils are sometimes used. Enfleurage, an old method of extraction involves immersing the flower petals in a fat so that the fat pulls the essential oil from the petal and becomes saturated with it. Then the fat and essential oils are separated. Maceration, a similar method of extraction involves heating the fat to about 60 degree Fahrenheit, which breaks down the plants cells containing the essential oils. Expression is the method used to extract essential oils from the oil sacs contained in the rinds of fruit (i.e. orange, lemon, lime, bergamot, mandarin and tangerine) using a machine to press the rind. Carbon dioxide extraction puts carbon dioxide under a high pressure to transform it into a supercritical state, making it exhibit qualities of both a gas and a liquid. This process runs at a lower temperature and it is very expensive. The phytonic process uses non-chlorofluorocarbons to extract essential oils at even lower temperature. However, the majority of essential oils today are extracted through steam distillation.
Properties of Essential OilsEach essential oil has it own therapeutic uses and other properties. Many essential oils have antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antineuralgic, antirheumatic, antispasmodic, anti-infectious, antiparasitic, diuretic, antivenomous, antitoxic, antidepressant, sedative, nervine (relieves nervous disorders), analgesic (reduces pain sensation), hypotensol, hypertensol, digestive, expectorating, deodorizing, granulation stimulating, circulatory stimulating and diuretic qualities.
Interesting FactsMusk is produced from a sack in the abdomen of the male musk deer and today it is scarce and costly. As a result, all musk oils are synthetically produced. There is no such thing as gardenia or vanilla essential oil and all products claiming to be pure essential oils can easily be identified as fakes by checking for musk, gardenia and vanilla fragrances. It takes 6,000 pounds of jasmine pedals to produce one pound of jasmine essential oil. In addition, Jasmine can only be picked 3 months out of the year between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. It takes 4,000 pounds of rose pedals to produce 1 pound of rose essential oil. Roughly translated that means it takes about 30 roses to produce 1 drop of essential oil.

Natural Soap insight

2005-10-19T16:30:00.000-07:00

There are many different varieties on the market today, but if you buy a normal bar of soap from the supermarket or beauty shop, you will most likely take home a soap which cleans well, lathers even better and smells beautiful, but try to pronounce and understand the ingredients and you will consider attending English classes again. Well, those ingredients are chemicals that have been put into the soap by the manufacturer for many different reasons (more bubbles, vibrant colours, extraordinary scents, etc.) and are still present in the bar when you use it.
If you prefer a more natural approach though, going back to making your own soap might be the answer to organically cleaning your body without polluting it with dozens of chemicals. Would you not prefer the thought of washing your skin with goat’s milk or olive oil (or even better, both at the same time), than with agents you can’t even read?
By the way, why is soap made from goat’s milk and olive oil so good for your skin? Well, goat’s milk contains over 50 nutrients, among which are the vital vitamins A, C, B1, B6, B12 and E, some minerals, amino acid, citric acid, unsaturated fatty acid, different enzymes and many other nutrients that nourish and revitalize dehydrated skin.
In particular, vitamin A slows down the effects of aging and prevents brown spots and thickening of the skin, while Zinc contributes to the reconstruction of collagen fibres, at the same time encouraging moisture retention and assisting in maintaining your skin's elasticity. Olive oil is a very good moisturiser, not because it has its own healing properties, but because it attracts external moisture, holds it close to the skin, and forms a breathable film to prevent loss of internal moisture. In addition, olive oil does not block the natural function of the skin. From: http://www.soapylicious.com
So, do you feel like trying one of these soapylicious soaps on your body? But how do you go about making your own soap? You only need a few tools, most of them already found in your kitchen, a bit of time and a willingness to experiment and learn from mistakes.

Dirty Secrets about Natural Soap

2005-10-18T18:08:00.000-07:00

Do You Know the 2 Dirty Secrets of Leading Mass Commercial Soap Brands that Leave Your Skin Itchy and Dry?

Many leading nationally-advertised soap brands strip their bars of glycerine, the key ingredient that helps keep your skin from feeling dry. And, the vast majority of mass brands contain “Sodium Tallowate” derived from animal fats, a potential cause of clogged pores and breakouts.

Glycerine is a natural by-product of traditional soap making. Fats/oils plus an alkali combined together causes a natural chemical reaction that results in soap. The process is called saponification. Glycerine is a natural by-product of this reaction. Without the glycerine in your soap, your skin will tend to feel itchy and dry after bathing or showering.

During the soap making process, many mass commercial soap manufacturers often siphon off the glycerine and sell it as a by-product to be used in higher priced products like lotions and skin creams. Some of these manufacturers remove the glycerine by-product entirely and some leave a small quantity for “label value”. Check the ingredient list of the nationally -advertised brands for yourself. If no glycerine is listed, it’s been siphoned off. If glycerine is listed, note its rank in the listing because ingredients are listed in order of percentage— high in the list means more; low on a lengthy chemical-laden ingredient list means less.
