Handmade v/s Factory-made
Natural soap is made from a chemical reaction between water, lye (also known as sodium hydroxide), and fats and oils. These fats and oil are turned into soap and glycerine by a chemical process called ‘Saponification’. This process, when completed properly, leaves you with pure soap, glycerine, and some residue from the natural ingredients in the individual recipe. Handmade soap is almost always made in small batches. You won’t find huge “handmade soap” factories out there.
Commercial soap is not ‘made’ but ‘manufactured.’ We use the term manufactured because of the way it’s made – by combining chemicals (including petroleum) in a slurry mixer. The mixture heats up on its own as a result of two chemical reactions. Once the mixture heats to a certain temperature, it is dried using a vacuum chamber and an atomiser. The resulting powder is then mixed with various other ingredients to form the final product. Sounds pretty scary, doesn’t it? And it is, when you think about it.Visit :
