為使用天然材料製作而成，並保留了甘油成份，而市售的香皂則是將
甘油抽出另外販賣並添加化學成份、合成界面活性劑及合成洗劑，所

皮膚症，如皮膚過敏、皮膚炎等等。而使用純天然、保濕不傷皮膚的
手工皂，能逐漸改善膚質及皮膚過敏之症狀。故本文欲探討天然手工

In recent years, green commodities have gradually been paid attention.
Handmade soaps have sprung up in Taiwan. In the development and
production of hand soap, I discovered that the characteristics and
advantages of handmade soap are made from natural materials and retain
ingredient glycerin. On the contrary, most soaps on the market are glycerin
that has been extracted and added with chemical ingredients, synthetic
surfactants and synthetic emulsions, therefore, washing texture is dry and
polluted water source. In the long run, there will be chronic skin symptoms,
such as skin irritation, dermatitis, etc. The use of natural, moisturizing,
skin-friendly soap can gradually improve skin texture and allergic
symptoms. Therefore, this article explores the differences between the
production process of natural handmade soap and commercial soap,
making handmade soap be refined and artistic to achieve both practical and
aesthetic effects.
