Why use store bought soap?

I don't know!  I can't figure out why I used it for so long.   I thought it was fine until I started making soap and using it.   Now, I see the difference.   I don't have dry itchy skin.   If anybody has sensitive skin, it's me.  

I was a Bath and Body fan at one time.   And, there are some scents they carry that I still like.   They are such good marketers that I wanted to try everything.   But, the shower gels dried out my skin.  Still like some of their lotions though.

About all of the store bought soaps are made from detergents.   Synthetic soap is the answer to mass producing a product.   Detergents contain petroleum distillates rather than oil. On the other hand, true soap is made from natural oils (such as olive, coconut and palm) and is a gentle cleansing product more appropriate for use on skin than detergent and much more mild than detergents.
