Discover Artisan Soap for Dry Skin: Gentle Shea Butter Care

What Causes Dry Skin?
Dry skin happens when the skin loses too much moisture. Common triggers include:
-
Cold weather or dry air
-
Hot showers or harsh soaps
-
Aging, hormonal changes, or stress
-
Travel and environmental changes
For people with dry skin, skincare should focus on hydration, protection, and support for the skin barrier.
How Commercial Soaps Strip the Skin
Most store-bought soaps:
-
Use sulfates that strip natural oils
-
Contain synthetic fragrance that can irritate
-
Lack moisturizing oils or nutrients
These bars often leave skin feeling tight, itchy, or flaky — especially after daily use.

Why Artisan Soap Is Different
Artisan soaps are made in small batches with skin-loving oils, gentle formulas, and no harsh detergents.
Especially when cold processed, artisan soaps:
-
Retain natural glycerin (a humectant that draws in moisture)
-
Are superfatted, leaving extra oils behind for hydration
-
Use botanicals and essential oils instead of synthetic additives
They cleanse without stripping — and they feel like a spa moment, not a chore.
Key Ingredients That Help Dry Skin
Artisan soaps often include ingredients that nourish deeply:
-
Shea Butter – Rich in fatty acids to soften and protect
-
Olive Oil – Gentle, hydrating, and full of antioxidants
-
Avocado Oil – Vitamins A, D & E support elasticity
-
Coconut Milk – Boosts lather and hydrates
