When it comes to caring for your skin, not all soaps are created equal. While store-bought soap may seem like an easy and affordable option, many people are surprised to learn what’s actually inside those neatly packaged bars. At Artesana Soaps, we believe your skin deserves better—products crafted with care, quality, and intention.
What’s Actually in Store-Bought Soap?
Many commercial soaps are technically not soap at all—they’re classified as synthetic detergents. These bars are formulated for mass production and long shelf life, not for the health of your skin. They often contain harsh surfactants and preservatives that can strip away your skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving it feeling dry, tight, or irritated.
The Handmade Difference
At Artesana, we handcraft each soap bar (and all our products) in small batches using thoughtfully selected ingredients like organic butters, cold-pressed oils, goat’s milk, raw honey, and beeswax sourced from local farms. These ingredients are chosen for their natural nourishing properties, supporting the skin’s health while providing a gentle cleanse.
We use a variety of essential oils and high-quality fragrance oils to create our signature scents—each one carefully chosen for safety and skin compatibility. While some of our fragrance oils are man-made, we never use fillers, harsh detergents, or unnecessary additives. Our goal is always to balance quality, creativity, and skin sensitivity.
Glycerin: The Moisture Magnet You Want in Your Soap
One of the biggest differences between handmade and commercial soap is glycerin—a natural byproduct of the soapmaking process that helps attract moisture to the skin. Many big manufacturers remove glycerin from their bars to use in other high-end skincare products. At Artesana, we keep the glycerin in every bar, allowing your skin to benefit from its gentle, hydrating properties.
More Than Just Soap—A Personal Experience
Handmade soap is more than just a way to get clean—it’s an experience. From the artistry of our designs to the care that goes into each batch, our soaps are made to delight your senses and elevate your daily routine. Whether you’re reaching for a bar scented with fruity fun or calming botanicals, each product is made with intention and a whole lot of heart.
Choose Soap That Loves You Back
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it deserves to be treated with care. Making the switch to handmade soap is a small step that can make a big difference in how your skin looks and feels. When you choose Artesana Soaps, you’re not only choosing quality—you’re supporting a small, woman-owned business that values local partnerships, family, and craftsmanship.
