5 Reasons to Switch to Handmade Soap

If you’ve ever picked up a bar of handmade soap and thought, “Wow, this smells like a little piece of heaven,” — you’re not wrong. But did you know that handmade soaps do way more than just smell amazing? They’re packed with natural ingredients that your skin actually loves. 💛

Here are 5 reasons why making the switch to handmade soap might just be the best decision for your skin:

1. 🌿 Real Ingredients You Can Pronounce

Most commercial soaps are filled with harsh chemicals and detergents — stuff you wouldn’t want anywhere near your skin. Handmade soaps (like the ones at Lotions, Potions & Notions) are made with simple, nourishing ingredients like shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and essential oils.

Your skin deserves better than “sodium laureth sulfate,” right?

2. ✨ Gentle on Sensitive Skin

Natural soaps are often much gentler, especially for folks with sensitive or dry skin. Our formulas are made to cleanse without stripping your skin’s natural oils.

Say goodbye to itchy, tight skin — and hello to silky smoothness.

3. 🌎 Eco-Friendly & Low Waste

Most handmade soaps are created in small batches with less packaging and fewer toxins — which means they’re kinder to the Earth, too. Many of our bars come in biodegradable or recyclable packaging.

Clean skin, clean conscience.

4. 💫 Every Bar is Made With Intention

Each bar of soap at Lotions, Potions & Notions is crafted with love and good vibes. We infuse our process with care — from hand-pouring to wrapping — so it’s not just soap… it’s a little ritual.

There’s something magical about knowing your product was made by hand, not by a machine.

5. 💖 You’re Supporting a Small Business

When you buy handmade soap, you're supporting a real person (hi, it’s me — Assunta 👋) who puts heart and soul into every product. You’re not just buying soap — you’re helping dreams grow.

And honestly, that’s beautiful.
