Why BON [Bio Organic & Natural] soap? What soap are you currently using? The commercial soap bars that line most grocery stores’ shelves: Chances are that it isn't soap at all, but a detergent, filled with things you can't pronounce. Check the label. It may say "body bar", "cleansing bar", or "beauty bar", but if it doesn't say " Bath soap", it's probably detergent! Even some true soap contains harsh chemicals, fillers and mentioned no ingredients. Again, read the label! . We make Natural Organic soaps by a Unique Cold Process, using Organic vegetable oils, Essential Oils and Botanicals. When making soap, glycerin is a naturally formed by-product. And what a by-product! Glycerin is great for the skin - it's a natural, gentle emollient. But most big-label soap companies making soap from the palm noodles, and only adding synthetic glycerine to their soaps. Can you tell the difference between a love letter and junk mail? You'll notice a difference in our handmade Organic soap too. Which explains why BON handmade Organic soap costs a bit more than what you may be used to...
