Not All Soap Is Created Equal

Bar soap can be very harsh and can strip and disrupt the skin barrier function and the skin’s natural bacteria. When it comes to pH levels, most soaps are not formulated to meet our skin's needs because they are too alkaline. Using soap can not only dry out your skin, but it can irritate it as well.

 

Generic Bar Soap can cause: 

  • Acne flares
  • Patchy dry spots
  • Dull & tired skin
  • Irritated skin

 


Unlike soap for your body, face washes are formulated to the skin’s natural acid pH. Our skin is designed to maintain moisture and protect itself against pollutants, wind, and toxins. It is our skin's acid mantle that does the job. The acid mantle is a fine film with a slightly acidic pH on the skin's surface and provides ideal protection.


Your skin barrier has several functions. It protects you from:

  • Pollution
  • Irritation, inflammation, and infection
  • Dehydration
  • Toxins
