Most luxury soaps use natural ingredients and expensive soap making oils. This is because the best of ingredients can definitely make the best luxury soaps. However, you do pay the price. Luxury soaps are always priced expensively, and even more so if they are handmade due to the care and extra effort that goes into the creation of these products.

Luxury soap is soap that has been enhanced to appeal to one or more of the senses. This can mean that the soap produces more lather than other types of soaps or it can have a pleasing fragrance. Typically, these types of soaps are used in a bath as a way to relax and gently cleanse the skin. Luxury soap usually comes in a bar but it can also be seen in a liquid form. These soaps can produce softer and healthier skin.

Lavender and rose petal extracts can be found in soaps that are used for relaxation purposes. These scents are also used in aromatherapy because inhaling the fragrance can help a body to feel more relaxed. Citrus-based fragrant soap can have a completely different effect. Instead of calming the body, it can increase energy and awareness. A combination of scent and moisturizers can be seen in some types of luxury soaps.

A Luxury soap can contain natural skin softeners. Shea butter, essential oils, and other types of moisturizers can also be included in the soap. The lather this type of soap produces can be modest. Oatmeal soap can contain ingredients that exfoliate the skin and the lather in this case, can be thick and sudsy. It gently scrubs the skin, removing dead cells. An exfoliating soap produces new subtle skin.

www.qfdi.org/newsletters/defining_luxury_for_today's_business... Usually the high-end soaps and shampoos are not hard-water compatible and so require longer, hotter showers to get the soap scum off. Why can't they give us a simple deodorant soap and dandruff shampoo?  I want to clean my body. I want to clean my hair. I don't want to smell like cookies. I want to feel refreshed. I want my skin to be smooth.

"What is elegance?" asked famous photographer, Cecil Beaton. "Soap and water!"

Elegance takes much more than this, of course, but fine soap helps. Italian soaps have a high reputation, and many luxury brands are available. Famous Italian cosmetics companies such as Borghese, Cali and Perlier, as well as the Italian perfume manufacturers all make soaps. Other renowned Italian soap manufacturers include Gavarry, Valobra, Gori 1919. Olivella and Cucina are two American companies which use Italian olive oil to make their soaps.

Italian soaps are some of the most sought after in the world, for their natural contents and their beneficial effects on the skin. By Lisa-Anne Sanderson
