What is Yucca Soap?

Yucca Soap is defined as natural soap containing ground yucca glauca root as one of the ingredients. As a sustainable plant, yucca glauca has plentiful growth in the low rainfall and desert areas in the southwest United States. Other species of yucca however are endangered. Yucca contains the healthy and beneficial elements of resveratrol, yuccaols, and saponins.

Chemical-Free is Trending

Many people are moving toward chemical-free, organic, and purely natural bath and body products that are good and safe for the skin. As a rapidly growing industry, natural products manufacturers are coming up with innovative combinations of spices, herbs, and other natural ingredients to make the most of the demand for earth friendly skin care products.

Innovation

Natural yucca soap is one of those innovations. Although yucca, known as the “soap weed,” has been used for hundreds of years to make soap and other products, it is today’s scientific studies of yucca that has made soap formulated with the yucca glauca species an innovating development worth noting.

Natural Soaps

A good alternative to commercial soaps, especially when you are looking for skin cleansers that don’t contain harsh chemicals or abrasive agents, are all natural soaps. “All-natural” means exactly what it says – soaps that are created from organic, natural ingredients. By blending plant oils and other natural ingredients, which are extremely rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins, an organic soap focused on certain skin types can be formulated. Science has discovered yuccaols, saponins, and resveratrol within yucca. Some of the healthiest natural soaps on the market today contain yucca glauca.

While some soaps may claim to be “all-natural”, it’s important to note that many of these types of soaps typically lack the beneficial ingredients contained in organic, natural products. Some mass-produced soaps claim to be all natural because they don’t add fragrances or animal byproducts. The problem is that these soaps do not contain any natural ingredients and are instead filled with mineral oils, dyes, paraffin wax, and other cheap ingredients.

Only natural ingredients, including the oils, are used in natural soaps. This means the oils used in crafting earth friendly soaps are from plant oils rather than synthetics. Oils from olive, jojoba and tea tree oils are especially beneficial because they are very similar to the oils produced by our own bodies.

Skin Loving Ingredients

Because natural yucca soaps are made from all-natural ingredients, they are great for your skin. One result is they re-hydrate your skin, which helps you achieve glowing, healthy, and beautiful skin. If you have allergies or fight blemishes cleaning your skin with natural yucca soaps may provide the results you are looking for.

More Than Skin Deep

Although some soapers use molds for specific shapes, most natural soaps are usually handcrafted and hand cut.

Organic soaps are also biodegradable making them earth friendly.
