All about Artifact Soapworks
Why make soap?
When I told friends I was making soap, they arched an eyebrow and asked me if I realized that I could buy soap at the supermarket. But as a Chemical Engineer, what would you have me do as a hobby, refine used motor oil?
Are you really using soap?
By the way, what soap are you currently using? Chances are that it isn't soap at all, but a detergent, filled with things you can't pronounce. Check the label. It may say "body bar", "cleansing bar", or "beauty bar", but if it doesn't say "soap", it's probably detergent! Detergent bars will get you clean, no doubt about it, if clean is all you crave. But can you tell the difference between a love letter and junk mail? Between a Monet and those dogs playing poker? For those of you who are serious about bathing (and you know who you are), it's not enough for soap just to clean you and leave your skin soft. It has to be an indulgence that elevates the daily routine a little.
Making soap by hand allows the soapmaker the freedom to carefully select a blend of oils based on the characteristics each one will contribute. I use lots of olive oil for gentleness, coconut oil for fluffy lather and palm oil for a hard bar. I also use other oils for conditioning such as shea butter, mango butter and sweet almond oil.
In addition, the process used to handcraft soap naturally produces glycerin, a wonderful skin softener that is retained in the bars. Glycerin is wonderful for your skin, because it attracts and hold moisture to your skin. While all soapmaking processes produce glycerin, large manufacturers of "corporate soap" often extract the glycerin, then turn around and sell the glycerin to the cosmetics and lotion industry.
