Why We Soap – The Ash & Lee Difference 🌿
For years, I searched for natural alternatives to the beauty and hygiene products I use daily. To my surprise, almost every product on the market contained harmful additives—unless it was handmade. That realization sparked the beginning of Ash & Lee Soaps.
We believe that soap should do more than just clean—it should nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin without exposing you to unnecessary chemicals.
The Problem with Commercial Soaps 🧼🚫
Many mass-produced soaps contain harsh synthetic ingredients designed to extend shelf life, create more lather, or enhance fragrance—at the expense of your skin’s health.
🛑 Common chemicals found in store-bought soaps:
❌ Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) – Strips natural oils, causing dryness and irritation.
❌ Parabens – Used as preservatives but linked to skin sensitivities.
❌ Synthetic Fragrances & Dyes – Often derived from petroleum and may trigger allergies.
❌ Triclosan – An antibacterial agent that may disrupt hormones and contribute to antibiotic resistance.
These ingredients aren’t included to benefit your skin—they are there to increase profits for big companies while cutting costs on quality.
The Natural Soap Difference 🌱💚
Our handcrafted soaps are made with pure plant oils, natural butters, and essential oils, providing gentle cleansing and deep hydration.
✨ What makes Ash & Lee Soaps better?
✔ 100% Natural Ingredients – No artificial chemicals, detergents, or preservatives.
✔ Rich in Glycerin – Unlike commercial soaps that strip glycerin away, our handmade soaps retain this natural humectant, keeping your skin soft and moisturized.
✔ Sustainable & Eco-Friendly – Biodegradable formulas, plastic-free packaging, and zero waste in mind.
✔ Gentle on Sensitive Skin – Made for all skin types, including those with eczema, dryness, or allergies.
You deserve better soap. Switching to natural soap means feeding your skin with nutrients instead of stripping it with chemicals.
