Natural Soap is superior to store bought soap in many ways. Handmade, natural soap has no harmful, or potentially harmful chemicals. It has retained it's most important ingredient...glycerin. Glycerin is a natural moisturizing agent and accounts for many of the benefits of handmade soap.
Manufacturers of mass quanitity soap found a way to take the glycerin out of soap, sell soap without it's moisturizing qualities, and then turn around and sell the glycerin bars as by products as well.
Chemicals, detergents, petroleum products, degreasers and the like are absent from homemade soaps but plentiful in store bought soaps. While these compounds will clean your skin, they also remove the natural oils and dry the skin.

These ingredients are are more expensive and superior in quality to the commercial brand ingredients. Commercial soaps may be cheaper to buy but they are not a good value for you in the long run. Oftentimes, a typical consumer winds up spending more money than they have to by purchasing overpriced creams and lotions to medicate dry skin, which is actually being aggravated and made worse by that cheaper, chemically processed bar of soap. Homemade soaps also last longer and don't melt away as quickly as most commercial soaps do.
