Commercial soap is not soap - it is detergent!
Sunday, November 11th, 2007Hey folks! Just found out about this website from the FDA talking about commercial bar soap not containing any soap! Thought everyone should take a look…
Here is a snippet…”Well, in the first place the product you regard as soap may not be soap at all, but a synthetic detergent “beauty” or “bath” bar. These and similar names have been used by copywriters to spare the consumer the awful knowledge that she is not bathing herself with real soap, but with a synthetic detergent…”
and
“FDA’s file of about 70 reports of adverse reactions during the years 1975 through 1977 from use of bar soaps and synthetic detergent bars that qualify as cosmetics includes consumer complaints about skin rash, redness, inflammation, irritation, itching, and burning among the most common problems.”
