In the world of personal care, habits die hard. Using liquid shower gels has become the norm, often relegating bar soaps to the status of outdated clichés. However, it’s time to dispel these preconceived notions. Bar soaps are much more than just Marseille soaps and can provide a pleasant and effective skincare experience. In this article, we break down the preconceptions about bar soaps and discover their true value.
Misconception 1: All Solid Soaps Are Similar
The reality is quite different. Handmade solid soaps come in a variety of formulas, ingredients and fragrances. They are specially designed to meet the diverse needs of each skin type. Whether you have dry, sensitive or oily skin, there is a solid soap that is right for you. Natural ingredients such as shea butter, olive oil and essential oils give these soaps moisturizing, soothing and cleansing properties. For example, Veriere Pur Cocon soap is particularly recommended for dry and atopic skin, as it is 9% superfatted, enriched with shea butter and Calendula oily macerate.
Misconception 2: Solid Soaps Dry Out the Skin
This may be true for some cheap and industrial soaps, but solid artisanal soaps are formulated to moisturize and nourish the skin. Natural ingredients preserve the skin's natural moisture, unlike some shower gels that contain harsh chemicals. Solid artisanal soaps are rich in natural glycerin, which helps maintain skin moisture. Glycerin is naturally produced during the cold saponification process that we use at Veriere , we leave it in the soap while industrialists extract it from their soaps to reuse it in other cosmetics.
Misconception 3: Solid Soaps Are Less Practical
Again, this is a common misconception. Bar soaps are compact, easy to take with you on trips, and don't require plastic packaging. They're also versatile - in addition to cleaning the body, some bar soaps can be used for hair and even the face. By using the right soap dish , you can prevent slippery residue from forming and extend the life of your soap. It's important to use a soap dish with holes to prevent the soap from sitting in water and wearing out for nothing :)
Misconception 4: Solid Soaps Lack Variety
The creativity of modern soap artisans is inexhaustible. From delicate fragrances to exfoliating textures to natural colors, artisanal solid soaps offer a range of sensory sensations. At Veriere, you can choose from natural options with citrus or lavender scents.
Handmade solid soaps are far from the outdated image that some attribute to them. They combine effectiveness, sustainability and variety in a pleasant experience for the skin and the senses. By putting aside preconceived ideas, you can discover a new dimension of personal care that not only promotes healthy skin, but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
