Artisan Soap vs. Store-Bought Soap

April 16, 2025

Why Natural Soap Is Worth the Switch

1. Ingredients That Support Skin Health

One of the biggest differences between artisan soap and store-bought soap is the ingredients. Most commercial soaps contain harsh detergents, synthetic foaming agents, and artificial fragrances. These ingredients can strip your skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry, itchy, or irritated.

In contrast, artisan soap—like the ones handcrafted by My Bliss Bath—is made with nourishing natural ingredients such as:

  • Olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil for gentle cleansing
  • Shea and cocoa butters for deep hydration
  • Essential oils for natural fragrance and therapeutic benefits
  • Botanical infusions and clays to soothe and detoxify

These skin-loving ingredients help maintain your skin’s moisture barrier and leave it feeling soft, not stripped.


2. Handcrafted in Small Batches with the Cold Process Method

Most store-bought soaps are made using a melt-and-pour or mass-production method, often sacrificing quality for speed. They may look pretty—but the benefits stop there.

My Bliss Bath uses the cold process method, allowing us to:

  • Control every ingredient from start to finish
  • Retain the naturally occurring glycerin (a powerful humectant)
  • Cure each bar slowly for 4–6 weeks to create a harder, longer-lasting bar

This traditional method ensures you get a bar that’s rich, creamy, and truly luxurious.


3. Clean Fragrance, Not Synthetic Overload

If you've ever been overwhelmed by the strong, artificial scent of a commercial soap bar, you're not alone. These synthetic fragrances can cause headaches, allergies, and skin reactions.

Artisan soap, on the other hand, uses essential oils or high-quality fragrance oils in carefully balanced amounts. This means you can enjoy a subtle, spa-like aroma without the chemical overload.

At My Bliss Bath, each scent is designed to enhance your mood—whether it's the grounding calm of our Earth Bliss Bar or the uplifting burst of Citrus Sunrise.


4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Mass-produced soaps often come packaged in plastic and are made without regard to environmental impact. Artisan soap brands typically focus on eco-conscious practices, including:

  • Minimal or biodegradable packaging
  • Responsibly sourced ingredients
  • Small-batch production to reduce waste

At My Bliss Bath, sustainability is part of our mission. Our soaps are crafted with care—for your skin and the earth.


5. More Than Soap—It’s a Ritual of Self-Care

When you choose handcrafted soap, you’re not just cleansing your skin. You’re embracing a daily ritual of mindful self-care.

Each bar of My Bliss Bath soap is designed to deliver a multi-sensory experience, turning your shower into a moment of calm, connection, and nourishment. That’s what makes artisan soap different—it’s made with intention, not machines.
