I wanted to offer some insight on products that you can buy commercially vs. products that are handmade by myself and many others like me.
For this episode I decided I would look at commercial bath bombs.
My ingredients:
Baking soda
Citric acid
Cream of tartar
Kaolin clay
SLSa
Oil (such as Sweet almond oil, avocado oil or any other oil)
Polysorbate 80
Fragrance
Color
Commercial Bath bomb for comparison (just one of many offerings)
Baking soda
Citric acid
Sodium coco-sulfate
Oil
Cream of tartar
Water
Fragrance
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
Dipropylene glycol
Propylene glycol
Calcium sodium borosilicate
Cocamidopropyl betaine
Color
Now, I am not saying there is anything wrong with the commercial item, but why buy something with so many extra ingredients when they just really are not needed. I have people telling me all the time they have "sensitive skin". I wonder if part of that has anything to do with all these extra added ingredients that commercially available items have in them.
For my next installment, I am going to do a comparison between commercially available soap vs. the soaps I make.
If there is anything you would like to see me talk about, let me know. I would be happy to look into it for you!
