One of the great things about pure natural soap is that it doesn’t cause as many allergic reactions as commercial soaps can.  The ingredients in natural soaps are much gentler than and not as drying as those found in commercial soap.  This is because commercial soaps often contain harsh chemicals, preservatives, and alcohol.  Not only can these ingredients be very drying to the skin, they can also cause skin irritation.  Many of the commercial soaps also contain strong fragrances that can cause breathing difficulties in some people.  Asthmatics are especially susceptible to these fragrances.  When you create your own soap, you can leave the fragrance completely out and make it much better for those with allergies.
