Safe and Natural Soap (Part I)

I am a mummy who's always concern about children safety and health. Before this, i was so anxious about the BPA issue with feeding bottles; and now the chemical used in our family's daily bath gel/ shampoo. It is very upsetting that the commercial cleansing items in the market now mostly are all FULL of chemicals - that includes our favourite Johnson & Johnson. When we talk about baby bath, it SHOULD be simple, safe yet natural for babies little delicate skin. However, when we take a look at the list of ingredients labelled at the back of the products, non of us here could even pronounce them.

I've did some research on how to find a good and natural cleansing products. Please don't waste your money on buying those so called anti-bacterial hand/ body soap with triclosan (a toxic chemical). There's studies shown that this anti-bacterial soaps may not only be ineffective, but harmful. The best way to get rid of germ and dirt is just only water and soap, that's it!

Without much delay, i went shopping, online just to look for a basic yet natural soap for the whole family. However, i could only found 1 baby bath and shampoo for my younger boy - it's called earth mama angel baby. It's a very gentle liquid castile soap in a foam pump and it cost rm55.00!! This bottle of soap can only last not more than 2 months on my little boy's hair and body! Besides the cost matter, this soap mustn't get into bb's eyes - it sting!! For my case, the soap never goes into my boy's eyes but each time when i wash his bottom using this soap; he will screamed and says "mummy, pain.. pain...".

AGAIN, i sat in front of my laptop and started to look for a 100% natural soap. It sounds crazy but i really can't go back to those chemical soap anymore... and Finally, i've found a all natural handmade soap called
Soapy. to be continue.... (Part II)
