What's the difference between mousse and shower gel?

1, with different forms.

Mousse produces foam after extrusion, which can be directly applied to the body for cleaning when taking a bath.

Because the shower gel is extruded in liquid form, it has to go through the bath ball to produce foam.

2. The cleaning effect is different.

The foam produced by mousse has large contact area with skin and better cleaning power. Because shower gel is a viscous liquid, if the foaming is not thorough enough, the cleaning effect will not be so ideal, so you need the help of bath balls.

3. The durability is different.

Mousse is not as durable as shower gel. After all, shower gel is a viscous liquid that needs to be mixed with water to foam, while mousse can foam when it is pressed out. Open the mousse bottle and you will see the texture like water.

Taboos for using bath products:

Lavender shower gel is not suitable for children. A recent study by the American Environmental Health Science Association found that using shampoo, soap and shower gel containing lavender oil and tea tree oil can lead to hormonal imbalance and abnormal chest enlargement in little boys. At present, there are three boys aged 4, 7 and 10 in the United States with abnormal breast development.

In this regard, Yan, deputy director of the Beauty Expert Committee of the Beauty and Cosmetics Industry Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, said that the composition of essential oil is complex, which may indeed enhance human estrogen in daily use, leading to male hormone disorder and abnormal chest enlargement.

However, toiletries containing lavender and tea tree oil are all chemical synthetic detergents. In addition to the surface surfactant, there are also builders such as phosphate, sodium carbonate, essence, enzyme, foaming agent, thickener and integrator. Many chemical components are mixed together, and it is impossible to tell exactly which one is the cause. Moreover, this kind of toiletries may not really contain the ingredients in lavender and tea tree, but may just be the spices in the essence.

Although the volatility of essential oil is relatively high, it can enter the dermis in a few minutes and participate in systemic circulation. However, when taking a bath and washing your hair, shower gel and shampoo will not stay for more than 30 minutes, so it is difficult to cause harm to human health. Children's skin is delicate, so it is best not to use toiletries containing spices. When taking a bath, you should try to reduce the time that bath liquid and soap stay on your body, and rinse off the foam as soon as possible.
