Is antibacterial hand wash better than plain hand wash?
For everyday home use, no. Health authorities report that antibacterial soaps are no more effective than plain soap and water outside a clinical setting. Thorough washing is what does the work. The SoPure® Energising Hand Wash is a plant-powered wash that rinses clean with no residue.
Can frequent hand washing dry out your skin?
Yes. Hands have few oil glands. Washing often with a harsh, sulphate-based soap draws moisture out and leaves skin sore. Water that is too hot speeds that up. A pH balanced, non-irritant wash such as SoPure® cleans without stripping, so it suits hands washed all day.
What does a lemongrass hand wash smell like?
Sharp, green and citrus-bright, with a herbaceous lift rather than a sweet perfume. It cuts kitchen smells off your hands. The SoPure® wash is scented with pure lemongrass essential oil, never synthetic fragrance.
What is the difference between a natural hand wash and a regular supermarket hand wash?
Most supermarket washes rely on petrochemical surfactants and a single fragrance line. That one line can cover many undisclosed ingredients. A plant-powered wash like SoPure® uses plant-derived surfactants and names its oil. You get the clean and the clean label.
What ingredients should you avoid in a hand wash?
The four worth checking for are sulphates, parabens, synthetic dyes and synthetic fragrance. These are the usual causes of dryness and irritation from frequent washing. SoPure® leaves all four out, along with petrochemicals and phthalates, and is made in Johannesburg.
