Toilet soap

Modern life is hard to imagine without soap. Nothing can wash your hands like this wonderful invention of mankind. Increasingly, ordinary manufacturers and fashion brands produce soap for washing the body and hair. Toilet soap easily replaces all the necessary detergents. In addition, a large selection of useful additives and shades allows you to buy a treasured piece for every taste.

The main task of soap is to wash away dirt and bacteria from the epidermis. This is achieved due to the alkaline environment of the product. Essentially, soap is a product made from sodium salts or fatty acids. According to GOST, each brand is required to assign an individual name to soap.

Cosmetics correspond to one general characteristic - the piece must be solid, with a clear stamp, without cracks and damaged structure.

A cosmetic product may slightly fail to meet the requirements of GOST by separate agreement with the consumer. These are, for example, blurring of the color of the product or slight structural defects as a result of freezing.

It is also recommended to use fats of vegetable or animal origin, as well as their derivatives, natural palm and coconut vegetable oils and other vegetable extracts in the manufacture.

The Ministry of Health recommends the use of excipients: table salt, soda ash, caustic soda, boric acid, bleaching components, titanium dioxide pigment grades A-01, A-1, R-1, R-02, zinc white as a coloring pigment, bleach, lanolin, moisturizers, fats mink and arctic fox, wheat germ and mink oil, glycerin and others. The presence of dyes and perfume fragrances is allowed.

Soap packaging material should be made of paper of one, two or three layers. Printing on the wrapper is recommended to be water- and alkali-resistant, not fading in the sun. Products of the type "Children's" and "Ordinary" are allowed to be released both in a wrapper and without it. And "Neutral" and "Extra" - only in the package.

Products must have a slightly irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes, have slow-burning properties and not cause allergic reactions.

Usually, components of chemical origin are added to soap products, due to which the shelf life of products is possible up to three years. If the hygiene product consists only of natural ingredients, then it can be stored in its original state for only one year.

Any soap products should be stored at a temperature not lower than 5 degrees and at a humidity of the room not higher than 75 percent. Unused product is best stored in paper wrapper or original packaging. In any case, it cannot be kept pure, otherwise it becomes more exposed to the environment, which adversely affects its cosmetic and external qualities.

The shelf life of an open product is no more than a year. It is desirable to observe the temperature regime, since at too low or high temperatures the product may crack or melt.

Homemade toilet soap is stored depending on the naturalness of the components. For example, a soap-based product can be stored for no more than a year, and with the addition of decoctions or dried flowers, up to 2 months at all.

The standard ingredients for toilet soap are:

• sodium salts. Due to the unique chemical composition, the molecules of a substance, when reacting with water, break up into parts, one of which adheres to water, and the second to fatty oils. This provides a cleansing effect.
• The plasticizer acts as a stabilizer. The substance contributes to the improvement of the cosmetic qualities of the product, and also enhances the quality of color, smell and the degree of effect on the skin when washing. The amount of plasticizer content depends on the plasticity and ability of the soap to crumble.
• Dye use synthetic or natural origin to give the product an aesthetic appearance.A piece can have a plain coating or in the form of a pattern.
• Perfume necessary to create an attractive scent of toilet soap. There are practically no fragrances in baby soap.
• Antioxidant necessary to increase the shelf life of soap and prevent its rancidity. In addition, such substances have a beneficial effect on the epidermis, preventing and slowing down its aging.
• A useful additive determines the cosmetic qualities of soap. For example, aloe vera extract is added to antibacterial, and chamomile or string is added to children's. As an additive, essential oils, dried flowers, natural products (for example, honey and milk) are sometimes used.

Natural toilet soap is made from more gentle ingredients. So, instead of salts, saponins are mainly used. Substances easily foam and have high detergent properties. And the saponins themselves are plant extracts from Tatar soap grass, horse chestnut, violet or soap root.

A homemade remedy can be olive, chamomile, black cumin, white clay, and even coffee beans.. Additional components are selected depending on the purpose of use and skin type.

Vegetable cosmetic oils of wheat germ, sea buckthorn, jojoba, avocado and olive oil are very popular as nutritional ingredients.

To enhance these characteristics, you can add glycerol, contributing to the protection of the epidermis from environmental influences.

First you need to decide how to use the detergent. If soap is purchased for washing the body, then it is better to give preference to a baby or moisturizing product. Otherwise, you can disrupt the hydrolipidic balance of the skin, or even get irritation and dryness. If for domestic needs, then any one that does not dry the skin of the hands is suitable.

And here's why it's better to wash with soap:

• Even without the use of a washcloth, the soap cleanses the skin very effectively and gives a feeling of freshness compared to shower gel;
• It has anti-inflammatory properties;
• Contains less chemical elements and lasts longer.

• Yes, for dry it is important to use glycerin or vaseline soap. They contribute to additional hydration of the epidermis and do not cause allergies. Chamomile, aloe, sea buckthorn, almonds, moisturizer and honey with milk are also suitable as a supplement.
• Bold type it is necessary not only to cleanse and moisturize, but also to protect against inflammation. Therefore, it is preferable to use a product with fir or other conifers. In addition to healing properties, extracts of coniferous plants have powerful deodorizing and healing properties.
• For problem skin antibacterial components of natural origin, that is, natural antiseptics, are perfect. These are chamomile, aloe, bergamot, tea tree, cornflower, plantain, sage, propolis and calendula.
• Sensitive skin suitable baby soap or glycerin. They do not cause irritation and delicately moisturize the epidermis.
