Have you ever wondered why some soaps leave your skin feeling tight and dry, while others feel like a soothing hug? The secret might just be a humble ingredient called glycerine.
Glycerine soaps have been a favourite for centuries, and for good reason. They offer a gentle, moisturising cleanse that's perfect for all skin types, from sensitive to oily. But what exactly makes them so special?
Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is a naturally occurring compound that's a byproduct of the soap-making process (saponification). In traditional soap making, the glycerine is often separated out and sold for other uses, like in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. But in glycerine soaps, it's left in, which is where the magic happens!
Glycerine is a humectant, which means it attracts moisture from the air and draws it to your skin. When you wash with a glycerine soap, it helps your skin retain its natural moisture, preventing that stripped, squeaky-clean feeling you get from some conventional soaps. This makes it an ideal choice for the following...
Dry Skin: If you struggle with flaky, itchy skin, glycerine soap can be a game-changer. It helps to hydrate and nourish, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.
Sensitive Skin: Free from harsh detergents and synthetic additives often found in mass-produced soaps, glycerine soaps are incredibly gentle and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Eczema and Psoriasis: The moisturising properties of glycerine can help to soothe and calm inflamed skin, making it a good option for those with chronic skin conditions.
