Are Commercial Soaps Really Soaps?

Recently we have received a lot of emails asking the question as to what really makes a real Soap? We checked with one manufacture (http://www.AmazingSoap.com/) and they told us that most of the commercial soap bars that line regular department store shelves are actually synthetic detergents. What makes a TRUE soap is one that is made with all natural ingredients such as; Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, and Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin). Most commercial soaps will leave your skin dry, and over time will cause more harm than good. However, soaps made with natural ingredients (such as the ones mentioned above) will leave your skin hydrated, repaired, and keep it young looking. So, yes - commercial soaps are real, but they also can do more damage than good.
