What are the benefits of Living Story Handmade Soap?
It is free of harmful chemical substances and contains natural glycerin with effective moisture retention properties.
What is Glycerin?
Glycerin is found in most of the skincare and cosmetic products for its moisturizing and protective benefits. Glycerin is naturally derived from vegetable oils during the process of soap-making. Manufacturers of mass-produced soaps extract the glycerin from the soap and added salt to them in order to have the soaps ready for use immediately. Handmade soap contains 25% natural glycerin which is extremely moisturizing and gentle to the skin.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate VS Our Skin
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) is a common foaming agent used in most of the commercial soaps or cleansing products. While it produces rich foams, it irritates the skin and rips its moisture. Prolong usage of products containing SLS may cause various skin problems, such as chemo sensitivity, eczema, acne, etc. Living Story Natural Handmade Soap is SLS-free, a mild cleanser of your choice.
Wax & Solidifier
Pure soap turns soft quickly when it comes into contact with water. Therefore, mass manufacturers tend to add wax or solidifiers to increase the hardness of the soap. These soaps harden easily and can be used for a longer time so buyers will perceive them as inexpensive. However, bear in mind that these additives are harmful to our skin and would lead to skin allergies.
How to make handmade soap?
Handmade soaps are also called DIY soaps. There are three main ingredients, namely oil/fats, NaOH and water. Handmade soaps produce rich and delicate foam which deeply removes impurities hidden in the pores. Our skin will appear to be lustrous and supple. Natural essential oils, herbs or flower petals can be added to the soap, enhancing its benefits and making it more exquisite.
生命物语手工皂有什么优点？
它不含有害化学物质以及保存了香皂里含有的天然保湿成分--甘油。
甘油是什么？
甘油是保养品与化妆品里所不能缺少的保湿成分。一般工业造的肥皂都会在制造过程中加盐，使甘油和水分与皂基分离。这样的香皂虽然可以马上使用，但缺少了手工皂的精华——甘油。手工皂含有天然的甘油，且高达25%之多，保湿效果超凡，且对肌肤十分温和。
起泡剂 VS 肌肤
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) 起泡剂, 是常见的工业皂添加物， 用以达到良好的起泡作用。SLS会刺激肌肤并带走其表层的湿气， 长期使用将导致各种皮肤问题，如: 化学敏感，湿疹，粉刺，皮肤炎等。天然手工皂不添加起泡剂，温和地洁净您的肌肤。
蜡&硬化剂
因为纯皂易软化，所以一般工业皂会用蜡或硬化剂来增加皂的硬度。这样肥皂就可以使用很久，而买家也不会觉得贵了。但是，这些添加物会伤害肌肤进而导致过敏。
手工皂是如何制成的？
手工皂,就是DIY做皂。它主要的3种材料包括油脂、NaOH和水。手工香皂的泡沫细腻丰富，能彻底清除毛孔深处的污垢，使肌肤滋润光泽，富有弹性。再加上天然植物精油、草药或花瓣，手工皂就变得精致了。
手工皂有什么优点？
从科学角度，它的化学分子是由碳、氧、氢组合而成，同时具有“亲水基”（容易与其他水分子互相吸收结合）与“亲油基”（容易与其他油性物质互相吸收结合）。我们洗脸的时候，亲油基像个拖把似的，可以迅速的拖走脸上的油垢；而接下来的泼水动作，则可将亲水基与泼水的水分子结合，冲走脸上的污垢。手工还不会破坏肌肤的角质层是因为其中所含的甘油能在清洁污垢的同时，形成一层保护膜，达到保护肌肤的效果。肌肤的角质层一旦产生老化现象，会使得重要的水份流失，更是肌肤之所以干燥，出现皱纹的原因之一。
如何选择适合自己的手工皂？
如果你在用洗面乳或沐浴乳后，皮肤变得干涩、紧绷或发红，就表示皮肤在抗议，该换别的洗面乳或沐浴乳了。选用无添加化学原料或防腐剂香皂的是为你的皮肤做对的选择。
为何手工皂会有利环保呢？
它与化学清洁剂不同，它在与水接触大约24小时后就会被细菌分解成水与二氧化碳。当它流到河或大海也不会对环境或对海洋生物造成威胁。
