Each oil used is beneficial to your skin. This means there are no unnecessary ingredients. I started my business after my husband & I went to Italy for our anniversary. During our trip I visited a beautiful soap shop and became fascinated with soap making. I began researching methods of soap making and discovered that in the past women gathered together in communities and made soap for their famil
ies. At that time no one understood the chemistry involved in soap making as we do today. Now handmade soaps are safe and have a list of benefits associated with their use. Handmade soaps (cold & hot process methods) are made with natural plant derived oils; unlike many commercial soaps which are often made with petroleum based oils. By using plant derived oil our handmade soaps are better for your skin and the environment. We also retain all the glycerin (a natural byproduct of soap making) which moisturizes your skin. Again many commercial soaps remove the glycerin and sell it to cosmetic or pharmaceutical companies; removing the ingredient which helps moisturize your skin. These are only a few benefits of handmade soaps. I introduced my skin products after I had to deal with a dry skin issue. I purchased a product that was labeled natural but I did not read the label. After using it for a few days my skin began to get drier and even painful; it seemed the more I used this product the dryer my skin became. I went to a spa for a facial and the esthetician explained that the product I used could not have been natural. She told me to read the ingredient label carefully. She also told me many companies consider petroleum oils natural because they come from the earth. When I read the label I was shocked; there were petroleum based oils in the product. I began researching natural skin products and developed the Dolce Vita line of skin products. I can assure you; our products have no petrochemicals, preservatives, surfactants (sulfites), nanoparticles or alcohol to dry your skin. They are made of natural beneficial oils which help to moisturize and condition your skin. We can avoid using preservative by making oil based products. As you know bacteria, fungus and mold needs water to survive. Our products have no water therefore they prevent the growth of microorganisms. They also are long lasting; a little product goes a long way and therefore the are an excellent value too. Try our products and feel the diffence natural makes.
