📝 Friday Blog Post — 5 Reasons Handmade Soap Is Better for Your Skin

In a world full of mass-produced body washes and bars, handmade soap offers something different: skin-loving ingredients, crafted with care. At Cake Face, every bar has been made in small batches with herbs, essential oils, and natural colorants — no shortcuts, no fillers. Here’s why handmade soap is better for your skin (and the planet).

Reason 1: Cleaner Ingredients
No harsh detergents, synthetic fragrances, or palm oil. Just plant-based oils, herbs, and essential oils that your skin can recognize and use.

Reason 2: Herbal Infusions
Handmade soaps can be infused with real botanicals — like calendula, charcoal, or oatmeal — which bring unique benefits for skin balance, exfoliation, or soothing.

Reason 3: Gentle on Skin
Because handmade soaps retain glycerin (a natural byproduct of saponification), they’re naturally moisturizing. Mass-produced bars often remove this to make lotions separately.

Reason 4: Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Handmade means small batch, lower waste, and eco-conscious sourcing. Plus, no unnecessary plastic bottles like body wash.

Reason 5: Crafted with Heart
Every bar has a story — whether it’s inspired by herbs grown in a garden, a favorite essential oil blend, or your community’s support.


This is why people fall in love with handmade soap. And with Cake Face nearing the end of its chapter, this is your chance to stock up before Lulu’s Herbary launches.
