Soap base normally comes from glycerin-separated leftovers on an industrial scale. It has been what most mass-produce manufacturers turn to for their fundamental lists of the essential ingredients in soap making. To be exact, soap making on a commercial mass production scale usually relies on the chemically engineered solutions to extensively help them come up with a more innovative approach to get a soap’s ingredients in the traditional making mass-produced in a more convenient, less time-consuming and, unsurprisingly, more profitable fashion. In the making of a bar of commercial soap, a number of artificial chemicals are added to the mix such as parabens–simply known as chemical preservatives. Causing more concerns over a possible health problem are chemical compounds called phthalates, which is widely used and integrated as one of the substances commonly found in the production of the petrochemical industry and plastic-related production. Studies have shown that phthalates could potentially cause cancer in the long term of exposure and are not suitable for human consumption. Besides, adding synthetic fragrances to increase the soap’s aromatic scents is considered another alarming health risk factor of which most people are unaware. Unlike natural fragrances, the synthetic counterparts are usually made from aroma chemicals which could, in turn, potentially cause many allergy symptoms such as rashes and acne.
All in all, a bar of commercial soap is perhaps more welcoming to bathe with, especially when their longer lifespan, lower price tags and standardized processes are taken into consideration. Undeniably it is safe to say that all cost reduction strategies and relatively lower quality ingredients do make all commercial soaps in the market friendlier to consumers’ wallets. Despite the lesser cookie-cutter appearance and lesser amount of intense fragrances from the lab, a bar of hand-made soap promises higher quality ingredients with meticulous chemical-free processes that respect for the environment and are user-friendly at its best. At the end of the day, there lies a parallel world of soaps: a world of pure merits and a world of mere impulsiveness. Take your soap of choice home wisely.
