Is your soap really artisan

I assume that it is more common for large companies to use soap noodles to streamline their production and cut costs - it has to be cheaper for them to buy pre-saponified oils from Asia than actually make the soap themselves. I doubt that individual artisans are buying soap noodles to make their soaps, in part because the satisfaction of making soap comes from having a unique and personal product, not making something that is the same as everyone else's.
