Which are the best soaps?

Pure and natural soap

Good quality soaps which are kind to skin and not harmful to the environment can be found. The best quality soaps are undoubtedly hand made cold process soaps containing only high quality oils and vegetable ingredients.

There are many small independent soapmakers in the US and their numbers are growing in Europe, too. They typically leave plenty of glycerine in the finished soap so that it is gentle on the skin. And they use a high proportion of organic and ethically sourced ingredients.

Although these producers use lye (caustic soda) in the process the end-product is often a carefully-crafted pure and gentle soap. Lye is used by almost all soap makers.

There are a few soapmakers making soap products from plants which naturally produce a soapy substances known as saponins. In Britain the plant soapwort contains such saponins. If you rub it between your fingers a light lather is produced. Papaya leaves and soap plant can also be used and some shampoos and soaps are made using these ingredients.

Watch out for natural soaps which are really commercial soap bases with a few natural ingredients added. Some independent soapmakers use melt and pour methods. That is, they buy their soap base from factory outlets and simply re-heat it, mix in any individual colours or natural additives such as honey and just pour it into their own moulds. This is not quite the real thing!

What is the difference between soap and detergent?

Detergents are just other surfactants made synthetically. (A surfactant is simply a chemical compound which makes water wetter and therefore dissolves dirt and other solids into it.) Other than that there is no real difference. Soaps, being traditional surfactants made from lye, have kept their separate name.

However, many commercial detergents are much harsher than soap and some have bad effects upon the environment.
