Bar Soap or Shower Gel: Which is the Best Option for Your Skin and the Environment?
Today we'll explore a product you use daily in your hygiene routine: bath products. Some people prefer solid soaps and others opt for shower gel. Both cleanse the skin, but are they really the same? Discover some advantages of solid soap compared to shower gel.
Ingredients: The Crucial Difference
If you've ever read the ingredients list of a shower gel, you'll have noticed that the first ingredients are often water, paraffins (petroleum derivatives), synthetic perfumes (which can irritate the skin), and surfactants (necessary for cleaning). In contrast, LUR soaps contain only natural ingredients, such as butters and oils, plant extracts, and other beneficial active ingredients . Scented with essential oils , LUR soaps contain no preservatives, dyes, artificial fragrances, or other synthetic chemicals, and their pH is more neutral compared to shower gels or industrial soaps.
Skin Benefits
Thanks to their rich and balanced composition, LUR natural soaps don't strip the skin's protective film, providing cleansing that also protects and cares for the skin . The aromatherapy provided by essential oils also brings therapeutic benefits.
Sustainability: Less Waste, More Benefits
One of the great advantages of solid soap is waste reduction . The plastic packaging of shower gels, even though recyclable, requires a lot of resources to produce. Solid soaps, on the other hand, are generally packaged more sustainably, helping to reduce environmental impact.
Artisanal Production in Portugal
LUR soaps are handcrafted in Portugal in small batches, using carefully selected organic ingredients grown sustainably. They are registered on the European Cosmetics Portal , ensuring their safety and quality.
Travel Ideas
Solid soaps are perfect for travel . They take up less space in your toiletry bag, eliminating the need to worry about the allowed milliliters and the risk of leaks in your travel bag.
Special Promotion
LUR soaps are available in six different scents. When you purchase the FACE AND BODY PACK, which includes a cleansing face oil and a soothing vegan facial toner, you'll also receive two soaps of your choice as a gift (offer value: €11), all for €39.
I know sometimes convenience is more important, but I hope this article has helped you reflect on your personal hygiene choices and opt for alternatives that benefit not only your skin but also our planet. Try LUR natural soaps and make a difference!
