Modern life is hard to imagine without soap. Nothing can wash hands like this wonderful invention of mankind. Increasingly, ordinary manufacturers and fashion brands are releasing soap for body and hair washing. Toilet soap can easily replace all the necessary detergents. In addition, a large selection of useful additives and shades allows you to buy the coveted piece for every taste.

The main task of soap - to wash away dirt and bacteria from the epidermis. This is achieved at the expense of the alkaline medium means. In fact, soap is a product made from sodium salts or fatty acids. According to GOST, each brand must assign an individual name to the soap.

Cosmetics corresponds to one common characteristic - a piece should be firm, with a clear stamp, not have cracks and damaged structure.

Cosmetic product may slightly not meet the requirements of GOST by separate agreement with the consumer. These are, for example, the blurriness of the color of the product or minor defects in the structure as a result of freezing.

It is also recommended in the manufacture to use fats of vegetable or animal origin, as well as their derivatives, natural palm and coconut vegetable oils and other vegetable extracts.

The Ministry of Health recommends the use of excipients: salt, soda ash, caustic soda, boric acid, bleaching components, pigment titanium dioxide of grades A-01, A-1, R-1, R-02, zinc white as a coloring pigment, bleach, lanolin, moisturizing creams, fats mink and arctic fox, wheat germ oil and mink, glycerin and others. The presence in the composition of dyes and perfume fragrances.

Soap packaging material should be made from paper of one, two or three layers. Printing on the wrapper is recommended to do water-and alkali-resistant, not burnable in the sun. Products of the type "Detskoe" and "Ordinary" are allowed for release both in wrapper and without it. A "Neutral" and "Extra" - only in the package.

Products must have a mild irritant effect on the skin and mucous membranes, have slow-burning properties and do not cause allergic reactions.

Usually, components of chemical origin are added to soap products, due to which the shelf life of products is possible up to three years. If the hygiene product consists only of natural ingredients, then it can be stored in its original state for only one year.

Any soap products should be stored at a temperature not lower than 5 degrees and at a humidity of no more than 75 percent. The unused product is best kept in paper wrapper or original packaging. In any case, it cannot be kept pure, otherwise it becomes more exposed to the environment, which adversely affects its cosmetic and external qualities.

Homemade toilet soap is stored depending on the naturalness of the components. For example, a product on a soapy basis can be stored for no more than a year, and with the addition of decoctions or dried flowers, even up to 2 months.

The standard components of toilet soap are:

• Sodium salt. Due to the unique chemical composition of the molecule, upon reaction with water, it breaks up into parts, one of which adheres to water, and the second to fatty oils. This provides a washing effect.
• The plasticizer acts as a stabilizer. The substance helps to improve the cosmetic qualities of the product, and also enhances the quality of color, smell and the degree of exposure to the skin when washing. The amount of plasticizer content determines the plasticity and the ability of soap to crumble.
• Dye use a synthetic or natural origin to make the product aesthetic. The piece can have a monophonic covering or in the form of a pattern.
• Odorant necessary to create an attractive aroma of toilet soap. In children's soap fragrances are practically absent.
• Antioxidant necessary to increase the shelf life of soap and prevent its rancidity. In addition, such substances have a positive effect on the epidermis, preventing and slowing its aging.
• Useful additive determines the cosmetic quality of soap. For example, an aloe vera extract is added to an antibacterial, and a chamomile or a string is added to a baby. As an additive, essential oils, dried flowers, and natural products (for example, honey and milk) are sometimes used.

First you need to decide how to use the detergent. If you buy soap for washing the body, it is better to give preference to a baby or moisturizing product. Otherwise, you can disrupt the lipid balance of the skin, or even get irritation and dryness. If for domestic use, then any one that does not dry the skin of hands will do.

And this is why it is better to wash with soap:

• Even without using a washcloth, the soap very effectively cleanses the skin and gives a feeling of freshness compared to the shower gel;
• It has anti-inflammatory qualities;
• Contains less chemical elements and longer stored.

• So, for dry type It is important to use glycerin or vaseline soaps. They contribute to additional hydration of the epidermis and do not cause allergies. Chamomile, aloe, sea buckthorn, almond, moisturizer and honey with milk are also suitable as an additive.
• Fat type it is necessary not only to clean and moisturize, but also to protect against inflammation. Therefore, it is preferable to use the tool with fir or other conifers. In addition to healing properties, extracts of coniferous plants have powerful deodorizing and healing properties.
• For problem skin antibacterial components of natural origin are excellent, that is, natural antiseptics. These are chamomile, aloe, bergamot, tea tree, cornflower, plantain, sage, propolis and calendula.
• Sensitive skin suitable baby soap or glycerin. They do not cause irritation and delicately moisturize the epidermis.

The best toilet soap, according to ordinary buyers - "Children's" factory "Freedom". It perfectly cleans the delicate and sensitive skin of children and adults, without irritating it. After application does not require the use of additional moisture. Soap is cheap and has an economical consumption, which is very convenient for large families.

Not inferior in popularity and Safeguard. Soap completely pays for its cost and effectively cope with pollution. True, with regular use can cause irritation and dry skin. Also not recommended for people with sensitive skin and with a tendency to allergies.

"Velvet hands" with success will replace the moisturizing cream. The extraordinarily soft formula nourishes and protects the skin of the hands from weathering and with frequent contact with household chemicals. The only drawback - a sharp peculiar smell "for the amateur."

Soap "Camay" not much different from the budget in terms of efficiency, but it has floral feminine fragrances that are felt on the skin for some time after washing. Fans of the brand note that the shower gel of the same brand is in many ways inferior to toilet soap in terms of effectiveness.
