Commercially made soap usually contains detergents, fillers, chemicals, petroleum, high animal fat content, and irritants. Commercially made soap tends to be less eco friendly as well. While commercially manufactured soap usually costs less, the impact on your skin and the environment is less than desirable.

Natural handmade soaps are made with natural oils, have high glycerin content, are better for the environment with no detergents or phosphates, and are never tested on animals.
