Moisture vs Lather
October 3, 2013
Why don’t Vermont Soap bar soaps lather more?
- There is an inverse relationship between lather and moisture. More moisture = less lather.
- Synthetic detergents lather better in hard water and cold water than soap does – and the suds last longer.
Downside; these synthetic foaming chemicals do not exist in nature. Thus there are unintended consequences that go with their production and use. Every foaming agent that ends with an “ate” or an “eth” contains minute amounts of 1,4, dioxane a potent tumor enhancer; for just one example. As another: sodium lauryl sulfate is suspected of deteriorating the optic nerve in newborns and premie babies.
Organic products are not for everyone, but they ARE for people who really care.
