We all want beautiful, silky smooth skin, right? Well, as an avid Dove bar soap user for 20 years now, I thought that this type of soap was the only one for me. Although it didn't make my skin silky smooth, it was better than any other soap brand I came across in the general market. It didn't strip my skin of moisture as bad as the others, so I was happy with that. If I wanted moisturized skin, I just had to use some sort of moisturizer after my shower.
After watching the movie Food Inc., I started to take a closer look at the products I use/consume on a daily basis. I discovered that my beloved Dove soap contains tallow, a saponified animal fat. So how luxurious is that? To cleanse your face and body with essentially animal fat? Horrified, I thought I would have to settle for some plant based soap that would strip my skin of its much needed moisture.
Here is the solution. Clearly Natural Soap, a glycerin soap that is plant based. This stuff is Heaven sent!! I found this gem at my grocery store and decided to try it out (the honeysuckle scent). It has a pleasant natural scent, rinses clean...and here's the best part...it truly moisturizes your skin!! I didn't even apply moisturizer, and my skin is so silky smooth. This stuff is amazing, and I cannot sing its praises enough.
I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE companies that provide all natural products that work better than the chemical laden junk products we are brainwashed to think that are superior. I am also kind of angry about it, because these big companies advertise that we are getting some amazing product, but really its just cheap garbage with fancy packaging. I wonder if the tallow made from animal fat is the stuff the food industry throws out, so the soap makers take the "waste" off the meat industry's hands and turn it into a profit.
Regardless of where the animal fat came from, I am no longer using tallow based soaps. I am so happy to find a plant-based product that truly delivers and is superior to the tallow based ones!
