Soap 101

Amore Soap costs a little more than regular soap, and ordering it is not as convenient as stopping by the grocery store on your way home from work.  So why would you want to buy it?

The short answer is that it is much better for you than regular soap.  The long answer will follow on these pages.  I’ll explain what soap is, why it works, and the differences between certain types of soap.  I’ll also discuss social and environmental concerns related to soap production, and how some organizations are addressing them.
