5 Key Ingredients You Want To Identify In Your Natural Soap
Natural soap is not only ideal for the skin, especially sensitive skin, but also for the environment. If you have sensitive skin, then you might already be aware that not every soap is ideal for your skin. Most commercial soaps consist of harsh ingredients and chemicals without any consideration for specific skin types or the environment. That is why natural soaps are the best products for sensitive skin.
What are natural soaps?
Natural soaps are, quite simply, soaps made from naturally found ingredients that are infused with mother nature’s best gifts for the skin, from plant-based oils, fats, and butter to fruits rich in antioxidants as well as flowers, plants, and roots rich in exfoliating properties and vitamins. Additionally, if you are super conscious of animal cruelty and the environment, you need not worry about our soaps, for they are 100% animal cruelty-free and environmentally friendly.
Why use natural soaps?
Besides it being environmentally friendly, it also hydrates and is gentle on the skin. Soaps with synthetic chemical ingredients can cause irritation, itching, and allergies. It can also tip the balance scale of your skin’s pH balance, resulting in dry and damaged skin. Natural soaps are ideal for individuals with sensitive and reactive skin, especially those with eczema or psoriasis. Natural soaps, unlike mass-market soaps, do not have the critical moisturising ingredient, glycerine, removed. Hence, using natural soaps means your skin gets to enjoy natural hydration and lots of skin-boosting antioxidants.
What to look out for in your natural soaps?
While most natural soaps are great for your skin, there are some specific ingredients that you should identify or look out for when purchasing them. Not only will they do well for your skin, but they can also significantly boost your cleansing experience. Not all natural soaps will consist of every single ingredient, but these are ones that we recommend you be aware of.
1. Shea butter
Shea butter, without causing clogging of pores and irritation, softens and hydrates the skin. It also feels and smells great, making it the perfect ingredient for creating a luxurious, nourishing soap for rough and dry skin. Bodyfarm Body Milk – Donkey Milk is an excellent example of a body lotion that is further enhanced with shea butter. The donkey milk contains regenerative and moisturising properties, while the shea butter reinforces skin elasticity while offering it a velvety texture.
2. Glycerin
Glycerin is a key moisturising ingredient. It helps to lock moisture into the skin. It is also great for managing dry skin and restoring the skin’s protective layer. Our Bodyfarm Facial Cleansing Milk not only contains glycerine, but it is packed with many regenerative and moisturising ingredients, such as vitamin e, lotus and cotton extract, panthenol, and wheat germ oil.
3. Natural oils
Natural oils are crucial factors in making natural soap. They help to heal and hydrate the skin while adding fragrance to it. Many natural oils also help with overall wellness and have antibacterial benefits. Some of the natural oils used in making natural soaps are:
- Olive oil
- Palm oil
- Coconut oil
- Castor oil
- Avocado oil
Each natural oil has varying benefits and properties that are suitable for the skin’s needs. For example, Bodyfarm Volcanic Body Milk is not only enriched with volcanic lava extract but also contains a rich amount of olive oil, shea butter, and aloe vera combined with avocado and almond oil for maximum moisturising, soothing, and protecting of the skin.
4. Aloe vera
Aloe vera helps to soothe and cool the skin. It is a natural antiseptic and can be used to treat irritated and inflamed skin safely and gently, making them ideal for use after sunburns. Wotnot Natural Face Sunscreen and BB cream is an example of a product that consists of aloe vera. It not only protects your skin from the dangers of UV rays, but it also helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
5. Honey
Similar to aloe vera, honey also helps to heal with its natural antiseptic properties. Besides dealing with issues such as blemishes, acne, and irritation, it is also capable of softening and smoothing the skin. Bodyfarm Blossom Honey Shampoo is packed with jojoba, aloe vera, and honey that will help keep your hair protected, strong, healthy, and well-hydrated.
