Want Great Value For Your Money?

Compare the size!
Compare the ingredients and quality!

I mean, why pay $7.50 for a bar of handmade soap when you can buy one for $5.50, or even less?

To find the true value of a soap bar you first need to look at the ingredients, and to do that you need to read the ingredient list.

You can't compare a soap that is full of beautiful natural ingredients against one that is full of cheap chemicals. Just remember whatever ingredient comes first on the label is what it contains the most of, then as you read along the list, the last ingredient mentioned is what it contains the least of.

Next you need to know how much it weighs. A $5.50 bar might look like good value, but is it really?

A $7.50 bar of soap that weighs 150 gr. = $2.50 per 50 gr.

A $5.50 bar of soap that weighs 100 gr. = $2.75 per 50 gr.

That $5.50 bar is not as good a bargain as you originally thought.

If the soap bar you are thinking of buying doesn’t have a weight listed, ask so you can compare the real price.

Don’t be swayed by how pretty a soap looks, once you’re using it in your bath or shower how it looks is not going to matter, but the fragrance, feel and how good it is for your skin, will!

Let’s look at a few examples of different soap brands:

Price $9.90 for 100 gr. (equivalent to $4.95 per 50 gram)

Oh dear! lots of chemicals in these two, if you have the time google some of these ingredients to see the effects they have on your health.


BRAND ‘A’:
Ingredients: Palm, coconut & olive oils, fragrance (artificial chemical), colour (synthetic chemical) Price $5.50 for 100gr. (equivalent to $2.75 per 50 gram)

(For the benefit of your skin, steer clear of soaps that contain palm oil as its main ingredient. Look for a soap that lists olive oil 1st on the ingredients list for the best benefit for your skin and the best value for your money. Choose a soap that contains no chemicals, they are harmful for your health.)

BRAND ‘B’:
Ingredients: Olive, coconut & palm oils, goat’s milk, fragrance, colour (both artificial chemicals)Price $7.60 for 130gr. (equivalent to $2.90 per 50 gram)

  1. Fantastic Jan! I have been using the Lavendar and Goats Milk soap at the moment and it is DIVINE!!

    My face is beautifully clear and I have never had that, but I attribute it to the All Clear Facial bar that I bought from you. I will be getting some more to pass on to a friend who is struggling with her skin at the moment.

    Thank you for making such lovely soaps - they are very special and so great to use!
