Soap Substitutes

Most normal soaps, cleansers, body washes, and shower gels contain a mixture of foaming agents (surfactants) and detergents, which are often very harsh for dry and sensitive skins. These foaming agents are often derived from tallow, coconut oil or vegetable oil. A commonly used ingredient, for example, is Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, which is known to irritate sensitive skin.

Although these cleansers will cleanse the skin, they are often very drying, and can cause irritation.

Because they are high in alkaline value they will alter the pH balance of your skin and damage the natural barrier protection of your skin. Alternative products such as Soap Substitutes are recommended for dry and sensitive skins.
