Bar Soap vs. Liquid Soap – The Shocking Truth About Your Daily Wash

Bar Soap is Back – Here’s Why You Should Ditch the Pump

In a world dominated by convenience, liquid soaps have taken over our bathroom shelves. But have you ever stopped to wonder if they are truly the best choice for your skin and the planet? Handmade bar soaps offer a superior alternative—not only for personal care but also for environmental sustainability. Here’s why you should make the switch.

1. Handmade Bar Soaps Are Gentler on Your Skin

Most commercial liquid soaps contain harsh detergents, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can strip your skin of its natural oils. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and even exacerbate conditions like eczema.

Handmade bar soaps, especially those made with natural oils and butters, provide deep hydration and nourishment. A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment found that soaps containing plant-based oils like olive oil and shea butter help improve skin barrier function and retain moisture (Sator et al., 2003).

At The Soapany, we use only the finest natural ingredients to ensure your skin feels soft, nourished, and never stripped of its essential moisture.

2. Bar Soaps Are Free from Harmful Chemicals

Many liquid soaps contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and parabens, which have been linked to skin irritation and hormone disruption (Darbre et al., 2004). Handmade bar soaps, on the other hand, are typically crafted with pure, natural ingredients—no harsh additives, no unnecessary chemicals, just wholesome goodness.

3. Better for the Environment

Liquid soaps come in plastic bottles, contributing to the massive problem of plastic waste. According to a 2018 report by the United Nations, over 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced each year, and a significant portion ends up in landfills or oceans (United Nations Environment Programme, 2018).

Bar soaps, especially handmade ones, usually come in minimal or biodegradable packaging, making them a much more eco-friendly choice. Plus, they require less water and energy to produce compared to liquid soaps (Bakker et al., 2009).

4. Bar Soaps Last Longer & Save You Money

Did you know that bar soaps last up to six times longer than liquid soap? A study from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found that bar soap usage is more efficient, with significantly lower product waste compared to liquid soap pumps (Götz et al., 2017).

Liquid soap often gets over-pumped or wasted due to its watery consistency, while a solid bar allows for controlled usage, ensuring you get the most out of every lather.

5. Handmade Soaps Contain Glycerin – A Skin Superhero

Glycerin is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin. Unfortunately, many commercial liquid soaps have their glycerin removed to be used in other cosmetic products.

Handmade bar soaps retain their natural glycerin, making them deeply moisturizing and perfect for sensitive or dry skin (Morris et al., 2010).

6. The Experience is Simply Better

There’s something truly special about using a handcrafted, artisanal bar of soap. The rich lather, the natural scents, the luxurious feel—it turns a simple shower into a self-care ritual.

At The Soapany, every bar of soap is made with love, care, and high-quality ingredients, ensuring you get the best possible experience while caring for your skin.

Final Verdict: Bar Soap Wins!

If you’re looking for a gentler, more eco-friendly, cost-effective, and luxurious cleansing experience, handmade bar soap is the clear winner.

Danuary Day 3

Sorry but I have a bad schedule and my entries will generally be late @crossoverdanuary Anyway here is day 3 fic will be cross-posted later.

DP x DS

Danny hit the wall, the cracks around him flourishing. He needed to get away. If he could escape to the portal he would be safe. He took his fear and pushed it down. Then he flew. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Tanjiro’s eyes flew open. 

 The surroundings haven’t changed, but…something is off. A new smell came through the window. Blood, and something I didn’t recognize, like a burnt wound or cooking meat. I quickly right myself and leave the futon to put on my uniform and haori. Just in time as well, the sun was setting. It was time to find the demon plaguing this town.  

Walking through the streets it’s quiet, just like most towns. But there was a string of scents, like they were fighting-there! The scent from earlier, it felt almost; desperate. I rush towards the source, finding along the path strange patches of a glowing green substance, it might be the blood art of the demon. That isn’t good, who knows what it does. It might be a poison. The scent is getting stronger, I must be close! “Hn-ahh!?” Standing here, there is something. Covered in ash it has claws and fangs like a demon, but my brain says otherwise. Blindingly white hair hanging around pale skin, in the center of its face were two eyes glowing green like the puddles from before. It had fangs longer than should be able to fit into it’s mouth and the green dripping from a kimono that seemed to blend in with the night sky. It looks at me and snarls before it shifts into something more human, as if relaxing. Suddenly a giant flash of pure light blinds me, white fading from my vision. “Huh-“ in the creatures place now stands a boy with dark hair and ice blue eyes, he stumbles. I rush forward to catch him, why is he so light? 

Upon the forming of the Justice League: Dark, the call logs are checked for anything that needed to be looked into and-...

John was freaking out. Within the call logs he had found over a dozen different children across the world crying for help. In Paris a magic villain that preyed on emotions, in Illanois a CHILD that was constantly fighting interdimentional beings, an Oregon town that had such a high density of magical beings that there were calls listed nearly every third day, until one by one many of them stopped calling. Great. Now he has to go figure out how to recruit or help a bunch of talented kids.

John's first stop was the place they had received the most calls from, that were stupidly ignore because of the lack of magical expertise, Gravity Falls, Oregon.

We Became Heroes Because You Didn't

The Justice League don't specialize in much. If you ask them, they'd say otherwise. Unless they're one of the Bats, because they acknowledge that, especially with magic. They hate it, but they have connections and will at least ask for more details to deal with the situation at hand. Though they'll need proof.

That's the thing really. Proof. Because how are you going to get proof of something if everything gets repaired by the end? Or maybe you're the villain here according to the public. Or maybe everything you say is just plain crazy that nobody even knows what's going on from the start!

It was only when another group was formed when everything became clear. They were frowned upon, unknown, spoke nonsense, and never asked for help. They were the survivors that played hero. They were the shadowed version of the Justice League.

They were Justice League: Dark

A fanfic (or multiple small ones grouped together?) that isn't really about them joining forces, but more about the discovery of more dangerous territory that's being handled by kids/teens. Lift some weight for these kids. They really want a safe net by now in their hero careers.

Like- maybe a few of these wouldn't be the JL's fault. Maybe it was the government (at least for the US). Like Danny Phantom and Gravity Falls mentions the government, maybe they blocked off those regions from outside connections.

I feel like it would be funny if maybe Constantine just ends up collecting kids like Batman with his.

They're just kids! Itty bitty toddlers. It's supposed to be our job to take care o' that shit, ain't it?

And JLD now has a bunch of young professionals cause what the fuck, kid. Why do you know this??? Ya know? Maybe the JL just randomly finds these things, calls Constantine after Zatanna fails to know wtf is going on, and he just calls over a kid. Or a group of them.

JL: We need a professional, why is there a child here?

Constantine: Cause even when you fuckers ignored their calls for help, they still at least try to help where they can

JL: We never-

Constantine: Shut your traps! School's in session

*Child tries to explain*

JL: You have to be kidding me. ___ doesn't exist.

Constantine: Oh bloody hell-

Child: And they wonder why they get more attention than us.

idk, I just like the idea of Constantine being a father for OP characters and desperately want a Young Justice League: Dark. I read a couple of Danny and/or Billy being adopted by him, but the cravings... And if it's a whole big crossover thing, that would be great. Tag me if you see or write about something like this. I wanna read too :)

Don't put too much hope in me writing it though, I'm seriously bad at continuing/finishing stuff. But if I do, I'll edit this post with links to whatever I write.

Happy dannypocalypse guys! I don't know how to edit, and I'm really just a one trick pony, so here you go :)

And a bonus Danno on a Stick!

Brianane Holery- She/her, Crime ally gal born and raised. Lean build, and major contortionist, you give her a space she WILL fit (don't try to explain how this 6' 200 lb woman fits soundlessly into a 3" door opening silently). Had a little sister who died of an overdose because of one of the sellers he took down. Loves fighting and ADORES Jordan the little blaze. Named him an avenger of the past because of how he earned her loyalty. Is surprisingly good with the kids but isn't allowed alone because of how she encourages their arson tendencies. Don't mention her parents.

Thinking about the Dies Irae Au (Jason adopts liminal/halfa de-aged phantom & class) And specifically thinkin about his goons. I have ideas for exactly three and could really do with some assistance for other goons lol

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

Happy late national women's day, and somewhat 3 year anniversary

i just remembered a story my first plug told me. she's butch and gets mistaken for a man a lot. one time she was walking home when a guy pulled a knife on her and asked for everything in her pockets. panicking, she said "ok" and the guy hearing her voice was like "oh shit, are you a girl?" and she was like "yeah" and he put the knife away and said something like "sorry. i can't do this to a woman" and left. feminist ally.

Okay so you know have it's common for the like edible blob ghosts and the Lazarus is ghost sewage, so hear me out. Lazarus water is basically ghost zone garbage disposal, all of the "gone bad" blob ghosts get thrown in- causing the rancid ecto smell- and the LOA constantly throwing in bodies just adds to the gross because of the great pain involved often enough. Now I also like to think that blob goo absorbs emotions, so giant pit of rotten, moldy ecto, and this weird old guy who just bathes in liquid suffering. I demand he gets ghost arthritis

Me rn:

Lazarus and Ecto

What's your take on the Lazarus Pits = Ectoplasm headcanon?

I mostly see people write about how the pits are highly concentrated ecto that has been contaminated from chemicals. But I've seen stuff about how ecto is volatile for people and the Lazarus pits used to be pure ecto until people took a dip into it and made it dirty.

But if we use the hc of Ecto being really bad for the living, how did Lazarus waters revive or rejuvenate people?

Give me headcanons people!
