Frequently asked questions about transitioning to natural soap skin care.

What makes soap natural?

A natural soap is made with natural ingredients such as plant-based oils and butters, mixed with lye and water. It does not contain synthetic ingredients or fragrance oils, which can be harsh on the skin. Natural soap is also free of harmful chemicals and preservatives, making it a gentler option for the skin. Additionally, natural soap is typically made in small batches by hand, rather than mass-produced in factories, which allows for more control over the ingredients and process.

 

Does Luxe Lather Soap Co. soaps provide moisture?

YES. On and after, soap contact.

 

Why is moisture vital for the skin?

Moisture is vital for the skin because it helps to maintain the skin's natural barrier function. The skin's barrier function is responsible for keeping harmful substances out and locking in essential moisture and oils. When the skin is properly hydrated, it is able to retain its elasticity, strength and protect itself from external aggressors. A lack of moisture can lead to dry, flaky skin and can make the skin more susceptible to irritation, itching and even eczema.

 

Will Transitioning to natural Soap feel different?

Transitioning to natural soap may feel different for some people, as their skin adjusts to the new products. It is not uncommon for people to experience a "detox period" as the skin adjusts to the natural ingredients in the soap. During this time, the skin may become temporarily dry or oily as it adjusts to the new products. However, this is a normal process and should subside after a short period of time, your skin will be able to find its natural equilibrium again and with regular use of natural soap, you will notice that your skin will become healthier, clearer and more hydrated. It's important to be patient and give your skin time to adjust to the natural ingredients.

"It doesn't happen often. However, some people find that their skin goes through a detox period when they leave behind commercial products and switch to clean natural skincare.

Here's some good news: it's perfectly normal. Transitioning from one skincare product to another requires patience and a realistic perception of how your skin will react if you use chemical-laden products. You'll notice your skin working to find its natural equilibrium again when you switch to clean products."

Is there a difference between facial Soap and body soap?

Yes, there is a difference between facial soap and body soap. Facial soap is formulated specifically for use on the face, taking into account the delicate skin on the face which is more prone to dryness, sensitivity, and irritation. They tend to be milder and less abrasive, to avoid stripping the skin of its natural oils. The formulas are typically made with ingredients that are gentle on the skin, like aloe vera, chamomile, and calendula.

Body soap, on the other hand, is formulated for use on the rest of the body. It's typically formulated to be more robust and to cleanse the skin more thoroughly. They can include ingredients like charcoal, clay, and coffee which are great for exfoliating the skin.

Some natural soap bars can be used for both face and body, but it's always best to check the label and ingredients before using it and to be mindful of the different needs of the skin in different areas of the body.
