Our body’s biggest organ, our skin, is porous and absorbent. Multiple studies have shown that harmful substances can be absorbed through our skin and delivered to the blood circulation, risking damage in the long run. The way we care for our skin could have a significant influence on our health and well-being.
Choosing the best for our skin can be daunting, especially when there are many to select from. Soap, for one, is among the many products that we are used to applying to our skin. And they are of different varieties. We have beauty bar soaps and cleansing bar soaps. The ingredients they contain can get you confused, too. With the many manufactured products today, you are always doubtful of what to purchase.
Synthetic Vs. Organic Soaps
Many body cleansing products, either solid or liquid, are mostly artificial detergent products. Detergents are famous since they quickly produce suds in water and do not form gummy residues. Many of these detergents are heavily promoted as “soap,” even though they are not genuine soap as per the FDA’s regulatory definition of the word.
Lucky enough, we have what we call a natural bar soap that can be used both for cleaning and enhancing our skin naturally and organically. They are made to moisturize, exfoliate, and protect our skin without damaging its natural oil.
Natural bar soap is crafted from organic ingredients, such as pure plant-based oils, honey, and milk. In contrast, detergents are artificial — produced by synthesized surfactants, petroleum products, and other cleaning products. Commercial detergents eliminate the natural moisturizing oils of your epidermis, and that is why, after bathing, you still need lotion to restore the moisture.
Benefits of natural soap:
Cruelty-Free
Animals are not in any way used for product testing. They are dermatologically-tested on human skin to guarantee that it is safe for those with delicate skin.
Gentle
Natural bar soap is much kinder on the body, perfect for anyone who has delicate skin, especially kids. Commercial antibacterial soaps usually dry skin out, which can be harmful to the skin over time, particularly to children. Natural cleansers hydrate the body, keeping the skin smooth and healthy.
Organic
No toxic and harmful chemicals are used on natural bar soap. Plants and herbs used throughout the processing are free of any pesticides. These soaps are also kid-friendly, so you can have peace of mind when your children use it.
Naturally Anti-bacterial
Most natural oils and essential oils used on natural soaps contain antimicrobial and antifungal agents. They function naturally, so there is no threat of exposure to artificial substances.
Eco-Friendly
The idea of producing natural products mostly comes from people who are environmental advocates. They make sure that the environment and other living creatures are not in any way harmed once these products are being manufactured and used.
Day after day, people are taking baths and showers lathering in commercial soaps. The use of organically-made products is another way to increase awareness of its excellent effect on people’s overall health and well-being.
