What is a solid moisturiser bar and how do you use it?
Solid Moisturiser Bars moisturise like your normal bottle moisturisers, except they are made of ingredients that are able to hold together in a solid block, eliminating the need for a plastic bottle. In the case of Good Soap moisturiser bars each ingredient is natural, making a nourishing and softening bar which can enhance the condition of your skin. The bars are solid at room temperature and respond to the warmth of the skin, to allow the bar to melt just enough to leave the correct amount of product as they are smoothed over the surface of the skin. It couldn't be simpler to use the bar.
Are solid moisturisers suitable for face and body?
Because of their natural ingredients these bars are suitable for use on face and body, and are also perfect for children. Choose your bar from our selection, including a hand moisturising bar and foot moisturising bar. The Good Soap Moisturiser Bars contain essential oils for scent, and for their beneficial properties for skin care.
What are the benefits of using a Good Soap natural solid moisturiser on my skin?
The ingredients in the bar, as mentioned above, are completely natural, which means you are only applying goodness to your skin. We have a range of bars and you can choose from a shea butter base or a cocoa butter base, both beautiful ingredients to use in a skin care product. Find these ingredients in our bars:
- Shea Butter is not only good for moisturising, it is anti oxident and anti inflammatory. It can help condition, tone and soothe inflamed skin.
- Cocoa Butter is chosen for it's high levels of fatty acids which help hydrate skin and hold moisture in, keeping the skin in good condition
- Beeswax hydrates, soothes and conditions the skin, also beeswax applies a protective barrier to the skin, locking in moisture. It can help any skin irritation too.
- Soy Wax contains lots of vitamin E and can be helpful for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dry skin. Like beeswax it creates a protective layer on the skin, to help lock in moisture.
- Olive Oil is full of fatty acids, helping keep skin smooth and supple
- Essential Oils, not only great for adding scent to your bar they each have individual properties for your skincare regime.
- We use Hemp Seed Oil, Apricot Oil and Avocado Oil in some of our bars, each of these oils have their own benefits on your skin
- Vitamin E Oil, another beauty, which can help wrinkles, heal the skin and has anti oxident effects.
How do I store my plastic packaging free solid moisturiser bar?
The Good Soap solid moisturisers are sent out to customers in compostable packaging. We are so used to squirting out liquid lotion into our hands or scooping body butter that it may feel a bit unusual to receive moisturiser in a bag. Once you unwrap your bar it is 'naked' and the bag is suitable for composting, your bar is now packaging free. Simply store it in a storage tin or on a soap dish or saucer. Please don't keep it anywhere too warm (such as next to a radiator) or it will melt and due to it's oil based ingredients don't store on wood or it may mark the surface. During hot weather it's lovely to keep the bars in the fridge and then they are cooling when applied to the skin.
Are solid moisturisers safe for my skin?
