Why is detergent in soaps bad for your skin?

319 views

I keep seeing all these ads for natural soaps that say they are good because they are detergent free, but never explain why detergent is bad. Did I miss something or is it just a marketing gimmick?

As far as I know, detergents (in high concentrations) react with and destroy:
1) all the oils you have on your skin
2) and also lipids that build up your skin cells and thus literally killing your lovely skin cells
