Natural soaps are made with gentle, plant-based ingredients that are less likely to cause irritation or dryness compared to synthetic ingredients found in conventional soaps. They are often free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and dyes that can strip the skin of its natural oils.

Natural soaps are often cruelty-free and may offer vegan options that do not contain animal-derived ingredients or by-products.

Many people with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis find that natural soaps are less irritating and more soothing than traditional soaps. The absence of synthetic additives and fragrances reduces the risk of allergic reactions or flare-ups.
