I started my soap creation journey last year. I caught the soap making bug pretty hard and it was all I wanted to do for months. It is so fun to mix up different scents and levels of moisture. It’s also really fun to put my own creative design on the top of each bar. But can something so pretty that smells amazing be good for your skin? Yes! Let me explain why.

Until I started making my own bar soap recipes, I used body wash to clean my skin. I was tricked into believing the film that it left on my skin was moisturizing my skin, but not until I started using my own soap did I realize how I never felt totally clean.

When you use natural bar soap you will leave the shower feeling clean AND moisturized. I’m not talking about Dial or Irish Spring with their catchy jingles and their tendency to dry out the skin – I’m talking about soap made in small batches without chemicals and preservatives. My soap works with your body’s natural chemistry (because I use natural ingredients) to leave you with fresh and silky soft skin.

Have you ever had a hard time getting your foundation or deodorant off your skin with store bought soap or wash? It can be a real challenge and can end up leaving your skin chapped and dry. Natural bar soap will fight right through the dirt, grime, makeup and deodorant on your skin – leaving your skin clean and fresh.

The thing that really made me change my mind about bar soap was my face. I have struggled with acne my entire life so I was stared to use my soap on my face. I use olive, palm and coconut oils and shea butter in my soaps so I was a little nervous about applying all of that ‘grease’ to my already acne-prone skin. I shouldn’t have worried – I suffered not a single breakout after switching. In fact, it only improved how my skin looked and felt.

Each of the aforementioned oils are natural and each adds a specific benefit to your skin. Whether that is naturally occurring disinfecting properties from coconut oil to shea butter that can heal damaged skin.  And now I don’t use anything but MB Botanicals Soap!

In order to get the most out of your soap when switching to MB Botanicals Soap, here are a few tips:

Soap Tips

• Give the soap a few days for your skin to adjust.
• MB Botanicals Soap has a nice lather, but not what you get from a body wash. And that’s as it should be. I don’t add chemical foaming agents to any of my products.
• Use a soap pouch Soap Pouch or a poof to help lather the soap, if necessary.
• Place soap on a wooden tray to dry between uses – if you don’t have a wooden tray just make sure it can drain between uses. This helps the soap last longer.
• Use on any part of your body and enjoy knowing my soap is never made with toxic chemicals or preservatives.
• On those days you need extra moisture, wash with MB Botanicals Soap first and then follow that with MB Botanicals Sugar Scrub. Your face will be soft and luscious all day long.​

If you are looking for a natural bar soap that works really well, lasts a long time, and has only ingredients that you can pronounce – you came to the right place.
