At Cleopatra’s Beauty Line and EcoPure Essentials, we believe in the power of pure, natural ingredients to nourish your skin and protect our planet. Did you know that many products labeled as “soap” are actually synthetic detergents that could be irritating your skin and harming the environment?
The Truth About “Soaps” That Aren’t Soaps
Most commercial “soaps” are packed with synthetic detergents like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Cocamidopropyl Betainehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18627690/ (CAPB), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES),https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12418774/ and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. These aren’t true soaps—they’re harsh chemicals designed to create foam and cut grease. While they may clean, they often strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even allergic reactions like contact dermatitis. For sensitive skin, these detergents can be a nightmare, causing redness, flakiness, or worsened conditions like eczema.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651417/
The Environmental Toll
Mother Earth feels the impact too. Synthetic detergents like SLS and phosphates don’t break down easily in the environment. They wash down drains, into rivers, and into lakes, contributing to algae blooms that suffocate aquatic life by depleting oxygen. These chemicals are found not only in laundry detergents and hand soaps but even in pesticides, wreaking havoc on ecosystems. If Mother Earth is telling us these ingredients are harmful, it’s a clear sign they’re not good for our skin either.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969723050737

Why True Soap Matters
Before synthetic detergents took over, soap was made the natural way—combining oils or fats with lye to create a gentle, effective cleanser that biodegrades naturally. Our soaps honor this tradition, ensuring no harm to your skin or the environment. Unlike detergents, which persist in waterways and contribute to pollution, our soaps break down safely, leaving no trace behind.
