Choice of bar soap
5 reasons why you should use bar soap for hand and body washing?
1. Washing with bar soap is easy.
Softly scented and aesthetically beautiful EkoElsa bar soaps should be rubbed directly onto the skin. Take the bar in your hand and turn on the tap. The soaps lather richly, and spreading the foam is delightful. You can't accidentally dispense too much bar soap, unlike liquid soap from a bottle. You use exactly the amount of soap needed at that moment. The bar won't spill empty if it falls, and especially won't cause spillage disasters in your backpack, like liquid bottled soaps.
2. Bar soap contains no water or preservatives.
You don't need to carry water or plastic bottles from the store. The world is already burdened with unnecessary oil-based plastic, and the oceans are full of life-destroying microplastics. EkoElsa bar soap is packaged in 100% recyclable material, in cardboard made from domestic wood or plastic made from corn.
Regular liquid soap mostly contains water and synthetic detergents. Preservatives are also always added to liquid soap, to which many people may be sensitive, causing skin symptoms and itching. By switching from bottles to bars, it's easy for you to try if you experience
3. Bar soap is economical.
One bar of soap can replace up to 3 bottles of liquid soap during its lifetime. This means you have to buy a new bar less often, saving you money.
4. Bar soap doesn't dry out your skin.
EkoElsa bar soaps are made using the traditional cold process method. In this method, the chemical saponification process occurs passively and automatically. The advantage of this method is that we can easily determine the amount of nourishing plant oils in the soap. This method also creates natural glycerin in the soap, which moisturizes the skin during washing. Elsan Ekopaja's bar soap not only cleanses but also cares for the skin.
5. Bar soap is hygienic and cleansing.
Even though bar soap is used to wash dirty skin areas, no bacteria live on its surface. The pH of bar soap is slightly alkaline, around 9-10. Microbes do not grow on the surface of bar soap precisely because of its alkalinity. If you take care of your bar soap by allowing it to dry thoroughly between uses, it will remain hygienic and firm. We recommend suitable soap dishes, especially the Petronella Design soap dishes, developed for EkoElsa products and handmade by Petriina, a female entrepreneur from Heinola.
