Transcript Bar Soap Comparison


This is Dove’s mildest cleaning bar. It contains
1/4th moisturizing cream and mild cleaner.

This bar of soap is infused with a blend of Shea
butter and vanilla. Like the white beauty bar,
this soap has 1/4th moisturizing cream along
with the Shea butter.


Both of the bars of soap contain the same
minerals, mostly consisting of salt related
minerals. Other minerals that appeared in the
soap were many varieties of clay and pumice
powder.

Most sodium related minerals in soap are
unnecessary detergents and will either dry up
or leave a sticky or rough residue on the
applied are of the skin. But Sodium Lauroyl
Isethionate is actually considered dangerous in
large quantities and oddly enough is can be
harmful to you if absorbed through the skin.

Many types of clay are also put into dove soap.
These clays are put into the soap because they
can bring up and absorb toxins that are in the
pours of your skin. But, they also suck up all of
the oils in your skin leaving it very dry and
rough. These clays have not toxic or harmful
attributes to them but don’t provide any
benefits to the soap.

Pumice powder only has one use in soap, to
exfoliate the skin. This means that the pumice
powder will get rid of the unwanted dead and
dry skin cells which leaves the skin smooth and
clean. Pumice powder has other uses also. Its
abrasiveness makes is used in all sorts of
polishes and sand papers. And due to its ability
so scrub off anything, its used in toothpaste as
well.

Although this is not a mineral we decided to
add it because of its beneficial properties.
Propylene glycol keeps the Shea butter from
separating from the soap mixture. Also
prolonged contact will not cause irritation with
the skin or the eye so it has no harmful aspects
making this a good ingredient in soap.

Again we decided to add this ingredient
because this was one of two different
ingredients from the white soap bar. Shea
butter provides intensive skin healing and
moisturization. Also, it helps heal cuts and
scrapes without scarring. It also can protect
your skin and hair from the suns harmful UV
rays.

In conclusion, we believe that the dove Shea
butter with warm vanilla beauty bar provides a
better clean with more moisturization and skin
protection. The Shea butter soap bar also has
more moisturizing ingredients so it will
counter act the skin drying ingredients and
provides more moisture to the skin.
