The Benefits of Using Handcrafted Soaps over Commercial Brands
It's easy to overlook the humble beginnings and the pure essence of traditional soap-making when the shelves of stores are lined with an array of commercial soap brands. Handcrafted soaps, made with clean and simple ingredients, offer many benefits, not just for your skin but for the environment as well.
At Water Sweets Soap Company, we take pride in our handcrafted soaps, made with the finest ingredients, to ensure that your bath experience is not just about cleansing but nurturing your skin.
The Benefits of Handcrafted Soaps
1. Natural Ingredients for Healthy Skin
One of the most compelling reasons to switch to handcrafted soaps is the quality and purity of ingredients. Unlike commercial soaps, which often contain harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, handcrafted soaps are made with ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils. These natural components are gentle on the skin, providing hydration and nourishment. For those who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne, handcrafted soaps can offer a soothing and nurturing experience, promoting overall skin health without the irritation caused by harsh chemicals.
2. Environmentally Friendly Choice
Handcrafted soaps are not just good for you; they’re good for the planet. With an emphasis on sustainability, our soaps are often packaged in eco-friendly materials, reducing plastic waste. Furthermore, the making of handcrafted soaps does not rely on large-scale industrial processes, which means a smaller carbon footprint. By choosing handcrafted soaps, you’re not just caring for your skin; you’re making a conscious decision to care for the environment.
3. Unique and Personal Touch
Each bar of handcrafted soap is unique, bearing the personal touch of our small family of artisans who made it. This uniqueness comes from the careful selection of ingredients, the process of creation, and the care poured into every perfect package.
Unlike mass-produced soaps, handcrafted soaps come in a variety of scents, colors, and textures, allowing for a personalized bathing experience that commercial brands simply cannot offer.

Handcrafted Soaps for Sensitive Skin: A Soothing Skincare Routine
Sensitive skin requires special attention and care, especially when it comes to choosing the right products for your skincare routine. The key is to find products that cleanse and hydrate without causing irritation or discomfort. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we understand the delicate balance needed for sensitive skin, which is why we've crafted our Bare Bar line, featuring "The Bare" Bare Bar, our most gentle soap option designed specifically for those with sensitive skin.
Starting with the Bath: "The Bare" Bare Bar
For those with sensitive skin, the journey to healthy, hydrated skin begins in the bath with "The Bare" Bare Bar. This soap is completely free of fragrances and colorants, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to avoid the irritation often caused by these additives. Made with only the purest and simplest of ingredients, "The Bare" Bare Bar gently cleanses the skin without stripping away natural oils, leaving your skin feeling soft, soothed, and refreshed.
Locking in Moisture: All Natural Lotion Bar
Following your bath, it's essential to lock in moisture to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. Our unscented Natural Lotion Bar is designed to do just that. Its rich, nourishing formula glides onto the skin, providing a protective barrier that locks in moisture without leaving a greasy residue. Perfect for everyday use, this lotion bar is a must-have in your sensitive skincare routine, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and comfortable all day long.
Deep Hydration: Unscented Hydrating Skin Therapy
For those areas of your skin that need a little extra attention, our unscented Hydrating Skin Therapy offers deeper moisture for especially dry areas. This intensive moisturizer targets rough spots, such as elbows, knees, and heels, providing them with the extra nourishment they need. Like all our products, this lotion bar is unscented and made with high-quality ingredients, making it safe for even the most sensitive skin types.
Handcrafted Soaps for Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, etc.
Handcrafted soaps, with their gentle and pure ingredients, are an excellent choice for individuals with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne. The absence of harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and phthalates in our soaps ensures a soothing and nurturing experience, promoting the healing and health of delicate skin.
Salt bars in particular, with their unique blend of natural salt and skin-nourishing ingredients, offer a range of benefits for various skin conditions, making them a wonderful addition to your skincare routine. Here at Water Sweets Soap Company, we carefully craft our salt bars to ensure they're not only gentle but also effective in promoting healthy, hydrated skin. Here's how our salt bars can make a difference:
Eczema: Salt bars are known for their ability to help soothe the dry, irritated skin associated with eczema. The minerals in the salt can help reduce inflammation and remove dead skin cells, promoting a healthier skin barrier.
Psoriasis: Similar to eczema, psoriasis sufferers may find relief with salt bars. The natural exfoliation provided by the salt can help reduce the buildup of plaques, alleviating discomfort and improving the appearance of the skin.
Acne: Salt has natural antibacterial properties, making salt bars an excellent choice for those battling acne. By helping to balance oil production and cleanse the skin of bacteria, salt bars can contribute to clearer, less congested skin.
Dry Skin: Despite their cleansing properties, salt bars also help to hydrate the skin. They draw moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple, rather than tight and dry.
At Water Sweets Soap Company, we carefully formulate our soaps to offer relief and support to those with sensitive skin conditions, making every bath a step towards healthier, more comfortable skin.
The benefits of using handcrafted soaps over commercial brands are clear. Not only are you choosing a healthier option for your skin, but you’re also making an environmentally conscious decision, supporting small businesses, and enjoying a product made with a personal touch. At Water Sweets Soap Company, we invite you to experience the difference that handcrafted soaps can make. Healthy, hydrated skin starts in the bath, and with our soaps, you’re taking the first step towards a more nurturing and satisfying bathing experience.
