Pernahkah anda terfikir yang sabun mandi kita gunakan setiap hari itu mengandungi bahan kimia yang merbahaya kepada kesihatan?
Atau adakah bahan lemak yang digunakan didalam pembuatan sabun itu diperbuat dari lemak tumbuhan atau binatang?
Untuk pengetahuan semua, sabun-sabun yang dijual di pasaran adalah dibuat di kilang-kilang yang memproses sabun di dalam kuantiti yang banyak. Salah satu bahan asas pembuatan sabun adalah lemak yang akan di campur dengan air alkali (sodium hidroksida). Tindakbalas dua bahan ini akan menghasilkan sabun yang juga mengandungi glycerin. Memandangkan glycerin mempunyai harga pasaran yang tinggi, pengusaha kilang2 besar ini akan mengeluarkan glycerin yang terbentuk semasa pembuatan sabun ini dan menjualnya kepada pengusaha2 lain atau digunakan untuk pembuatan produk2 lain. Untuk mengantikan glycerin yang dikeluarkan, campuran bahan kimia yang murah seperti sodium lauryl sulfate dicampurkan untuk menghasilkan sabun yang banyak buihnya tetapi mengeringkan dan merbahaya kepada kesihatan, Begitu juga dengan lemak yang digunakan. Tentu kita boleh meneka lemak manakah yang murah harganya? Tentulah lemak binatang sebab lemak2 ini boleh diambil dari bangkai2 binatang atau produk2 binatang yang telah luput tarikhnya.
Jadi dengan kesedaran untuk menolong umat islam agar dapat mengunakan produk2 yang terjamin halal, suci dan selamat, sabun herba OnlyHerbs dibuat dengan menggunakan minyak kelapa sawit, ekstrak herba2 terpilih, pewangi berasaskan minyak tumbuhan (essential oil) dan pewarna yang semulajadi dari tumbuhan. Sabun OnlyHerbs yang diformulasikan oleh seorang pakar herba dan kosmetik islam di buat di kilang sendiri dengan pemantauan yang ketat untuk menjamin kualiti sabun yang dihasilkan.
Sabun OnlyHerbs yang mengandungi pelbagai herba yang baik untuk kesihatan kulit insyaAllah sangat sesuai untuk seisi keluarga termasuk kanak2 dan bayi. Ianya boleh digunakan juga sebagai penganti syampoo dan pencuci muka.

Global Health Back To Nature
Our skin is the largest organ and is the body’s first line of defense against dehydration, temperature, infection and harmful substances. Skin cancer is mainly caused by too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun (solar UV radiation) and other sources such as solariums or UV lamps. In general, sun exposure is the cause of very high percentage of skin cancers, so it is important to adopt sun protection measures to prevent skin cancer. The most important years for sun protection are during childhood and adolescence. Exposure to UV radiation during these years greatly increases the chance of skin cancer later in life. Skin cancer and other skin diseases namely infections, acne, rashes, deal cells and many more can actually be prevented at the early stage if you know how to unlock the secret of the nature particularly herbal plants.
The popularity of herbal soaps is on the rise in this information age century because of its natural organic ingredients. Herbal soaps play an important part in natural skin care towards avoiding skin cancer diseases and protecting our skin from UV radiation. They can be formulated to nourish, moisturize, exfoliate, and tone the skin. Herbs and essential oils can also be added to infuse the skin with enriching nutrients, making the skin healthier. Among the most popular herbal plants that are suitable and safe for our skin are thanaka, green tea, honey, curcuma aromatica, rhinacantus, wheat germ, rice bran, lemon grass, tamarind, black sesame and goat’s milk.

What Are Commercial Soaps?
Generally, when one speaks of commercial soap one is referring to soap made in big quantity (i.e. 100,000 kilogram or more) in a mechanized process where the glycerin is removed and fillers and sometimes synthetic detergents added. Often a commercial soap manufacturing plant has facilities for refining oils, recovering and purifying glycerin (which is then sold separately) and producing soap in various final forms. Commercially made soap usually contains detergents, fillers, chemicals, petroleum, high animal fat content, and irritants. While commercially manufactured soap usually costs less, the impact on your skin and the environment is less than desirable. Commercially made soap tends to be less eco friendly because they are produced in mechanical factories. Most commercial soaps are not soaps at all, they are actually detergent bars which usually use a synthetic detergent such as sodium lauryl sulfate as the main soap ingredient
What Is Glycerin & Why It Is So Important?
The biggest difference between commercial soap and handmade soap is glycerin. Glycerin is a clear liquid that absorbs water from the air and is a key factor in keeping skin soft and healthy. Glycerin is very good for sensitive and delicate skin especially for children. Glycerin is a component of fat or oil. It is a natural by product of the soap making process. Glycerin is a humectants and emollient. It attracts moisture to your skin. Because it is a high quality by-product in the soap making process, most commercial soap manufacturers often extract the glycerin and sell it as a by-product to be used in higher priced beauty products like lotions and skin creams. It also has many other valuable, industrial uses which are why commercial soap manufacturers remove the glycerin from their soaps and sell it separately. Many cleaning agents today are technically not soaps, but detergents, which are less expensive and easier to manufacture.
Why We Should Use Handmade Soaps?
Handmade soap is generally thought of as soap made in smaller batches with personal attention, where the naturally occurring glycerin is retained in the soap. Fillers or detergents are rarely added to hand made soaps because these require facilities and chemistry unavailable to most hand made soap makers. Handmade soaps are made with natural ingredients, not petro-chemicals or cheap additives, have high glycerin content, are better for the environment with no detergents or phosphates, and are never tested on animals. Handmade soap is very mild and many of the ingredients are food grade; the soaps are highly aromatic with a wide variety of herbs, scents and essential oils to choose from. Handmade soaps include ingredients that are nourishing, packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that can protect your skin while making it clean and soft. They are simple indulgence that fosters a feeling of relaxation and being pampered.
