Herbal Soap
Herbal soap is made from natural ingredients such as juice, extracts, and vitamins derived from fresh medicinal plants. The complexity of combining various herbs makes the job both enjoyable and challenging. It’s a lot of fun to come up with one’s unique combination using artistry and creative imagination.
Herbs are natural and are safe, but those with sensitive skin should also be vigilant about herbal ingredients that may irritate the skin.

Soaps with synthetic chemicals strip the skin of its protective oils and may cause dryness, flaking, and skin dehydration.
Herbal soap can help you solve some of the skin’s problems by moisturizing your skin and preserving its smoothness and suppleness. Making and using herbal soap has numerous benefits for you, and who knows, it could be the key to glowing skin.
