Understanding The Difference: Commercial vs. Handmade Soaps

September 16, 2025

Tierra Mia Organics guide to the best natural soaps and shampoos for healthy skin and hair

Most store-bought soap bars and body washes are not true soaps at all. They are made with synthetic
detergents and chemical foaming agents that only mimic the effects of natural oils. These chemicals
may create lather, but they strip away your skin’s natural acid mantle and protective oil barrier, leaving
skin dry, tight, and vulnerable. In contrast, handmade soaps are crafted in small batches using real,
nourishing oils ( these are the oils Tierra Mia Organics uses) such as coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, and castor oil. These natural ingredients
gently cleanse while delivering vitamins, minerals, and moisture that your skin needs. Instead of drying
your skin, handmade soaps help maintain balance and hydration, keeping it soft, healthy, and resilient.
When choosing a soap, skip the long list of chemicals you can’t pronounce. The best soaps you’ll find
are in the natural or organic section, often made locally by small businesses who prioritize quality, skin
health, and sustainability.  Find a local store near you that offers Natural Handmade soaps or an online store like ours, Tierra Mia Organics .

And when shopping for shampoos, look for ones that do not contain ingredients you can't pronounce, and look to find shampoos that are made with few ingredients and real and natural oils because it is the oils in the shampoos that truly remove the grime, excess oil, and dirt.  Give Tierra Mia Organics Shampoo Bars a try, you won't be disappointed.
