The benefits of using natural soap

Next time you walk down the soap aisle at your favorite store enjoying the fresh, clean scents and the bright colorful packaging, pay attention. Look at the labels. The vast majority of the products on the shelf don't say 'soap' on their labels. They might be called beauty bars, moisturizing bars, or body bars, but not soap. That's because these bars aren't actually soap and can't legally claim to be; they're detergents. The manufacturers have removed most of the 'good' stuff that occurs in the soap making process, and replaced it with synthetic lathering agents and harsh chemicals. These cheap, plentiful detergent bars are not only bad for your skin, but they're also bad for the planet, too. What's so bad about it? Commercial soap manufacturers make it a practice to remove the glycerin that is produced during the saponification (soap-making) process. The glycerin is a highly profitable substance, often sold to other companies who use it to make lotions and moisturizers, which your skin, now dried out from the harsh detergent 'soap,' desperately needs. Most commercially produced bars contain synthetic lathering agents, artificial colors, and a slew of chemicals we can't even pronounce. Antibacterial and antimicrobial soaps often contain triclosan. Triclosan is a toxic chemical that is known to cause cancer. According to the National Coalition against the Misuse of Pesticides (NCAMP), manufacturers of a number of triclosan-containing products claim that the active ingredient continues to work for as long as 12 hours after use. Consumers are, therefore, exposed to triclosan for much longer than the 20 seconds it takes to wash their hands or face. Always remember that your skin is porous and absorbent. It absorbs whatever it comes in contact with, much the same as sticking something in your mouth. Chronic use of chemical laden products will cause the body to store the chemicals in the body fat or even in the brain. With enough accumulations of toxins in the body, illness can occur. What's the alternative? All natural, organic, handmade soap. There are several small businesses selling extremely high quality, all natural, organic soap - yes real soap. Sure, these soap bars generally cost more than the detergent bars you'll find at Wal-Mart. But the difference is these soap bars are actually good for your skin, and are good for the planet. http://www.naturalnews.com/026110_soap_natural_clay.html#ixzz33VMzHUQ7
Recunosc ca nu mai stiu ce scrie pe etichetele produselor de spalat romanesti, dar vara asta am ocazia sa ma uit. In State, insa, ii obliga pe comercianti sa nu scrie pe eticheta sapun, daca nu e sapun, si daca, ei pt foloase financiare au scos toata glicerina din produs pt a o vinde separat cu bani mai multi in creme si lotiuni. Si ce este rau ca nu este glicerina in sapun? Glicerina este substanta care se produce in mod natural la saponificarea uleiurilor cu soda caustica, este substanta care inmmoaie pielea, altfel sapunul ar spala, dar pielea ar ramane ca o scoarta de copac. Si daca glicerina nu mai este, substante chimice sunt introduse, substante extrem de nesanatoase pt sanatatea noastra, pt ca venim in contact cu ele de atatea ori pe zi. Una dintre ele este Triclosan. Triclosanul este o substanță chimică toxică, care este cunoscuta a cauza cancer. Potrivit Coaliției Naționale împotriva utilizării abuzive a pesticidelor (NCAMP), producătorii de o serie de produse care contin triclosan susțin că ingredientul activ continuă să lucreze mai mult de 12 de ore de la utilizare. Consumatorii sunt, prin urmare, expus la triclosan pentru mult mai mult decât cele 20 secunde de care este nevoie pentru a te spela pe maini sau fata. Întotdeauna amintiți-vă că pielea dumneavoastră este poroasa și absorbanta. Se absoarbe orice vine în contact cu ea. Consumul cronic de produse chimice va determina organismul sa stocheze produsele chimice în grăsimea corporală sau chiar la nivelul creierului si in timp pot apărea boli din cele mai grave. Care este alternativa? Sapunul natural, de casa. Ceea ce poate unii dintre noi il asociaza cu ce au vazut pe vremuri la bunici, la tara, si-si amintesc cazanele urat mirositoare, si mestecatul cu orele in el pt a scoate un sapun maro, aspru, numit sapun de rufe. In vremuri si mai indepartate, nu era numai de rufe, ci il folosea toata familia, zi de zi. Si nu mirosea prea bine, dar era sanatos. Ok, lucrurile s-au schimbat, si acum variantele propuse se ”gatesc” in bucatarie, cu uleiuri scumpe si unele chiar exotice, cu unturi din tari calde, cu plante din gradina sau infuzii, ceaiuri, lapte vegetal sau de capra, uleiuri esentiale sau arome din cele mai variate.
