The myth about the benefits of the economic soap, while the most made according to the Soviet formulation, was firmly established in our culture. In fact, it is this soap not only does not have any useful properties, but maybe even dangerous.
I remember that it was soap before we were constantly in use. I somehow was not interested, but it turns out a lot did not know about the composition and use of this soap.
What is it done
In the USSR, the main component of the household soap was fat - pork, beef, barracks and even fish. Now there is nothing like this in the composition, manufacturers use analogues, adding sodium, lauric acid, salome and alkali.
What better
Contrary to popular belief, the economic soap of the time of the Soviet Union is no better than modern. Kaolin and rosin added to it, and moreover, never recommended to wash them neither body nor hair.
Purpose of the economic soap
Marking "Economic" is given to this soap not just like that. It is simply not intended for the body: a fatty plaque and resistant stains from tissue materials are removed by the household soap. If you use it as usual, then chemical burns are not avoided. Economic soaps very effectively destroys the top layer of epidermis - the skin quickly loses her elasticity, inflammation and irritation begin.
Modern additive
No better in this regard and modern versions of the economic soap. Now manufacturers often add an increased dose of caustic sodium into it. Such a product is in fact better with spots, but threatens a completely real chemical body burn.
Antibacterial properties
Widely advertised antibacterial properties are not a myth. But there is nothing good in this: in the USSR, the soap was used on animals, because it perfectly removes flea from wool. People are economic, as in principle, and any antibacterial soap with constant use is dangerous. Such soap destroys the top layer of the epidermis, designed to protect against bacteria.
Carcinogenic effect
Today on the counters there is often an arranged version of the economic soap. This is no longer the brown non-brown bar - it can be white, and have a pleasant smell. Freshly color Such soap is obliged to titanium dioxide, a chemical element that has a carcinogenic effect.
Single application
The antibacterial properties of the household soap can be paid to themselves. With acne and acne, such a soap (with a single application) will reassure irritation. At least a long-term application is dangerous. Forget the myth about the "magnificent economic soap that is best." Do not risk health in vain.
