So many products tend to dazzle consumers. They are too cheap to buy, and too expensive to be worth it. The quality of handmade soaps varies, and buyers have mixed reviews. In the end, Who is more reliable? Dr. Micheal, a well-known doctor of biology from Australia's HOF organic skin care research institute, specializes in the research and development of herbal organic skin care products for more than 30 years. He uses HOF [Weibo] natural cold-processed essence bar as an example to help soap Fans are smart enough to identify genuine handmade soaps. Look at the color: Do not choose bright and transparent handmade soap. The real handmade soap refers to cold-processed handmade soap. It is made in an environment below 40 degrees Celsius, does not require heating, and retains vegetable oils and other additives to the greatest extent. Contains vitamins and nutrients, and requires a long saponification process to achieve the most suitable pH value for human skin. Compared with soap-based soaps that are processed in a short time using soap base, Australian HOF cold-processed essence bar is not only a natural cleaning product, but also an excellent skin care product. Many netizens are attracted by the variety of bright and eye-catching handmade soaps on the Internet. In fact, real cold process soap contains up to 25% natural glycerin during the saponification process. The finished product after cold process saponification is often milky white and opaque, even if natural pigments are added. It is not very bright. Generally, only by adding a large amount of artificial pigments can the bright effect be achieved; the usual transparent soap is also a kind of industrial soap. Solvents such as alcohol are added during the soap making process, and it is made under continuous heating. , making the finished product appear transparent. Smell the fragrance: It has a strong smell and is suspected of adding artificial flavors. The smell of handmade soap should have a light smell of oil. The smell of essential oils added to handmade soap will slowly evaporate over time and will fade over time. On the contrary, the fragrance of soaps with added fixatives or artificial flavors will generally have a strong and tangy fragrance and will not become diluted. Since the main component of some fragrances is methyl phthalate (plasticizer), which can affect the normal secretion of human hormones and reproductive capacity, it is recommended that you try not to use handmade soaps containing artificial fragrances. Touch hardness: Don’t be fooled by the beautiful carvings. Real handmade soap needs to be cooked for a long time before it can be used, and the hardness is generally not high. Even if the words are printed, the lines are not very clear. However, ordinary soap is a soap-based soap and is easy to make. Containing hardener will make the soap more durable and less likely to become soft and rotten, so please do not be fooled by the exquisite carvings on the soap. The better the carving, the greater the hardness, but the worse the quality. Rubbing foam: Naturally low foaming, it is a real handmade soap for skin cleansing and skin care. The main ingredient is plant gelatin, so it has low alkalinity. If you do not use the bubble net, even if you rub it repeatedly, the bubbles will be very few and fine, leaving your face fresh after washing. It is refreshing, non-greasy, and non-drying; handmade soaps with more bubbles are generally very alkaline, and the skin will feel tight and easy to peel after use. Some soaps have a lot of foam. This is because the foaming agent sodium laureth sulfate is added, which can easily destroy skin proteins and cause skin sensitivity. Soap powders with allergic skin should especially not use them. Look at drawing: Not all natural handmade soaps that can be drawn are natural cold-processed handmade soaps that are drawn because they contain a certain proportion of soft plant essential oils (olive oil, laurel oil or camellia oil, etc.). Soaps that can be drawn are more moisturizing. But if it’s not brushed, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not handmade soap. On the contrary, many merchants now add the drawing agent polyethylene glycol to ordinary soap base soap to pass it off as high-quality handmade soap. The way to identify it is to look at the drawing effect: the natural drawing of Australian HOF cold-processed essence bar is short and will break if it is not persisted for too long; while the drawing of soap with added drawing agent can be drawn very long and thick, and the duration will be long. Very long and not easy to break. Check the production standards: handmade soap ≠ DIY Most of the handmade soaps currently sold online are store DIY products, which are "three noes" products. The production process is closely related to manual inspection, and the proportion of ingredients often depends on feeling. The soap produced in this way has not been monitored by authoritative departments and has not been tested on skin. Although the materials selected may be natural, don’t forget the conditions for DIY. Sterilization is simply impossible. As soon as many netizens heard that it was “natural”, they relaxed their vigilance and used it boldly. As a result, after using it, many people reported that “it smells bad”, or “the face is very dry and peeling after washing”, “it does not remove blackheads” As a result, I feel that my pores will become larger." A doctor from the Dermatology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University said: Among the patients admitted to the clinic, there have indeed been several cases of consumers who have used handmade soaps, resulting in skin rashes, dermatitis, or varying degrees of sensitivity.
