You may ask why one would purchase handmade soap when it’s easy to get bars of soap at a big box store for a fraction of the price. After all, soap is soap, right? According to SoapTree BodyWorks, a soap maker located in Palm Desert, CA, the difference is in the quality. When you buy handcrafted soaps, you get products made locally in small batches with high-quality ingredients.
