Why You Should Make the Switch to Grandma’s Natural Handcrafted Soap?

 

What Is Natural Soap?

Natural soap is made using ingredients from nature—without synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, or harsh preservatives. Unlike mass-produced commercial soaps, which often contain detergents and fillers, natural soap is crafted from plant oils, clays, botanicals, and essential oils. These nourishing ingredients care for your skin rather than stripping away its natural oils.

Handmade  cold process

At Grandma’s Natural Handcrafted Soap, we make our handmade natural soap with a commitment to purity, simplicity, and sustainability.

How Is Natural Handcrafted Soap Made? Cold Process Explained

We use the traditional cold process method to create our natural soaps. This time-honoured technique involves mixing plant-based oils and butters with a lye solution (sodium hydroxide). This triggers a natural chemical reaction known as saponification. During this process, the lye is consumed, transforming into soap and glycerin, leaving no residual lye in the final product.

Unlike factory-made bars, our cold-process natural soap retains glycerin—an exceptional natural moisturizer. This ingredient helps keep skin soft and hydrated by drawing in and retaining moisture. Each soap bar is poured, cut, and cured by hand, a process that spans at least 6 weeks. The result is long-lasting, skin-loving soap.

 What’s in Our 100% Natural Soap Bar?

We take pride in using only 100% natural ingredients in our soap formulations. Here’s what you’ll typically find in our bars:

 Plant-Based Oils and Butters

Every natural soap bar starts with skin-nourishing oils. Some of our key ingredients include:

  • Shea Butter: Deeply moisturising and packed with vitamins.
  • Coconut Oil: Cleansing, antibacterial, and creates a rich lather.
  • Brazilian Oils: Adds silky softness and creaminess to the soap.

 Organic Natural Clays

This ingredient draws out impurities from the skin and helps control acne. It’s a key feature in our best-selling Dead Sea Mud Soap, which is popular among those with oily or problem-prone skin.

 Botanical Ingredients

Nature provides countless ingredients that love your skin. Here are a few favorites:

  • Spirulina: Brightens and evens skin tone.
  • Oatmeal: Calms sensitive or itchy skin.
  • Coffee Grinds: Gently exfoliates for smoother skin.
  • Citrus Fruits: Promotes collagen production.
  • Acai Berry: Loaded with antioxidants.
  • Coconut Milk: Softens and hydrates.
  • Chamomile: Soothes irritation and redness.

 Naturally Scented Natural Soap Bars with Essential Oils

  • We never use artificial fragrance oils in our soaps. Instead, each bar is delicately scented with pure essential oils for a soothing, therapeutic experience:

 French Provence Lavender Natural Soap

  • Relaxing and anti-inflammatory—perfect for evening routines.

 Volcanic Ash and Patchouli

  • Deep and earthy, this scent is especially beneficial for dry skin and grounding energy.

 Australian Tea Tree Natural Soap

  • Antimicrobial, great for any time of the day.

 Tangerine Lemon Lime Natural Soap

  • Uplifting citrus fragrance that’s gentle on sensitive skin.

 Grapefruit Natural Soap

  • Fresh and energising—ideal for those morning showers.

 Lemongrass with Lemon Natural Soap

  • Naturally antiseptic, it is favored for its benefits for oily skin types. Floral Jasmine Lilac Natural Soap

    This floral, sweet scent is excellent for balancing combination skin. Fragrance-Free Natural Soap for Sensitive Skin

    If you have eczema, psoriasis, or experience dry, irritated skin, our fragrance-free natural soap is the perfect option. These bars are made with no essential oils—just our pure base of plant oils and gentle clays. They cleanse without causing flare-ups and are also suitable for:

    • Babies and young children.
    • Sensitive facial skin.
    • Allergy-prone individual Benefits of Using Natural Soap

 Naturally Moisturising

  • Thanks to the glycerine naturally produced in the cold process, our natural soap helps keep your skin soft, supple, and moisturised—often requiring no lotion afterward.

 No Harsh Chemicals

  • Our soaps are free from SLS, SLES, parabens, alcohol, synthetic colourants, and preservatives. You can trust, pure natural soap for your skin.

 No Synthetic Fragrance Oils

  • Using only pure, premium essential oils allows our natural soaps to soothe both your skin and mind without synthetic additives.

More about these beautiful handmade products

  • If you choose the Florida orange, one of the most important ingredients is mango butter – it’s almost magical. It is brilliant for the skin in just about every way -it’s even said to prevent stretch marks and sooth insect bites as well as treating almost any skin complaint or blemish.
  • Goats milk is another ingredient that can work wonders. Drinking goats milk can have an amazing effect when it comes to treating eczema and other skin problems. When used in this way, it’s getting to work right where it’s needed. In the goats milk and honey product, coconut milk is also used to give the most beneficial results.
  • The Guinness and oatmeal type is a great choice for a guy who doesn’t want to use a product with a flowery perfume – although the Florida orange variety is great for guys too. The brewer’s yeast has long been know to be effective in preventing acne and it has properties which fight bacteria of all types. And of course, the shea butter is another amazing ingredient for great skin care.
  • The company that produces these soaps (yes, they are all from the same cottage industry) make only very small batches at a time and are conscientious about using the finest ingredients. They also make their own wrappers for their products too so you won’t need to worry about excessive and unnecessary packing.
  • The company consists of two partners, one a naturalist and one a cook! One of the owners likens making soap to creating fabulous meals. After all, both consist of mixing and blending the finest ingredients in the perfect proportions. The original recipes come from his partner’s Brazilian grandmother.
  • When I get a new bar of handmade soap, I cut in in half or even into quarters if it’s a large bar. One goes to live by the bathroom sink and the others go into my lingerie drawer! I use store them in the closet too because they give my clothes a wonderful smell.
  • I have a flat wooden dish in my bathroom which I’ve lined with pebbles. When I’ve used my homemade soap, I put it on the pebbles. This lets it dry out well without the bottom of the bar going soft and squishy.

Try a selection basket

If you can’t decide which product to choose, I fully understand! They are all so lovely. The answer could well be a lovely selection basket – something I would love to receive! Here are some great ones.

Make your own

I imagine that these gorgeous images of these wonderful products have inspired you to make your own. I know I am. I love the idea of making soap which is personalized to my own tastes, don’t you? It will also solve a lot of gift-giving dilemmas because I am making special items that I know will be loved by my family and friends – especially for them.

In fact, their chemical makeup is closer to industrial degreasers than soap. Our soaps at Natural Handcrafted Soap Company are NOT made with any of these harmful substances. We use ingredients like Organic Coconut Oil, Lanolin, Greek Olive oil from our friends olive farm ( Organic) in Greece, sustainable Palm oil and more . Therapeutic grade essential oils, and pure distilled water in our soaps – Peppermint essential oil and clay soap (peppermint).
