Natural soap vs. chemical detergents

Sure, you want a pure, natural soap. But, are you still unknowingly buying laboratory chemicals to clean your skin? Take the challenge with our artisan made, ACEQUIA® natural soaps versus Softsoap® from Colgate-Palmolive. Read the labels and look for the red flags.

Let's start with body wash ...

Now, let's compare hand soap ...



The differences are rather startling, aren't they? Really, what do you want to put on your body?

It is always important to READ THE LABELS, and when you're ready, there's a simplified list provided by Whole Foods Market that shows unacceptable ingredients for premium body care products. Their 'standards' are a good way to cull out the chemically produced body products by the listed ingredients. Consumers should be as vigilant!

We also suggest a visit to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics Skin Deep database created by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the Environmental Working Group. There you will find links to information about natural products and their chemical counterparts.
