Alpine Naturals is proud to be one of the first companies to introduce natural,
handmade soaps to the body care industry. My soaps are not store-bought melt and pour
glycerin soaps, which are made with alcohol and propylene glycol, but rather pure soap . .
. made from scratch, with all natural ingredients.
Pure soap has been around for
thousands of years with little or no evidence of any skin problems, unlike the documented
adverse side affects of synthetic products that have been introduced into the personal
care industry in recent years.
Many products claiming to be
'soap' are actually heavily processed synthetic detergents made from crude petroleum,
ethylene oxide, and sulfuric acid, converting animal fats (beef tallow and pork lard) into
alcohols. The product is then further processed to remove the glycerin, usually with the
use of more chemicals and salt. The final product is a chemical based foaming formula that
irritates the skin, causes acne, eczema, and other skin problems, far from being natural
and it is not soap.
My pure and natural soaps are
made with fruit and vegetable oils and purified water. The saponification process turns
the oils and water into soap and glycerin; no further processing, no toxic chemicals,
alcohols, preservatives, or foaming agents are added, resulting in nothing but pure soap
and the wonderful, moisturizing glycerin, which is not removed. |
