A cleansing product of translucent appearance, derived from vegetable oils or animal fats through saponification. It contains a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin. One specific variety excludes any added perfumes or scents during its manufacturing process, rendering it suitable for individuals with sensitivities to such additives.
The significance of this unscented variant lies in its gentle properties. The absence of artificial fragrances reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation, making it a viable option for those with eczema, psoriasis, or generally sensitive skin. Historically, soaps of this type were formulated to cater to individuals who experienced adverse reactions to standard scented formulations, representing an early effort in creating hypoallergenic skincare.
