Soap-Free Cleansing Lotion

Cleansing Lotion (Cetyl Alcohol 2.650% W/v + Stearyl Alcohol 0.260%w/v) – Cetyl Alcohol prevents rough, dry, itchy, scaly skin and skin irritations. It works as a moisturiser. As in dryness, the water is lost from the upper part of the skin, the moisturizer forms an oily layer which prevents water to escape. Stearyl alcohol is used in many cosmetic products which act as an emulsifier and prevents liquids and oil to separate.

Advantages of a Soap-Free Cleanser

You need to use soap-free cleansers during the monsoon season in order to maintain your skin’s best look and feel. Below are advantages of washing using soap-free products during the rainy season:

1. Moisturization:

Maintain your skin’s moisture level during the monsoon season by applying moisturizing cleansers. Hydrating face wash is soft and doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils, instead keeping it nourished.

2. Protection:

In fact, soap takes off your skin’s natural protective oils, but soap-free cleansers strip your skin of dirt and grime. A non-drying face wash protects your skin from environmental irritants and allergens present in the air during the monsoon season.

3. Clarity:

Soap-free cleansers clarify the skin without stripping it of natural oils. This keeps your skin clean and pimple-free during the monsoon season.

4. Soothing:

With a soap-free cleanser, your skin is cared for with gentle treatment. Furthermore, it calms the skin and cools irritation or redness due to air moisture.

5. Balance:

Natural face wash keeps your skin at its pH balance. Applying a pH-balanced cleaner safeguards the skin from the discomfort of the wetness of the air.

6. Unclog pores:

The soap-free cleaner may cleanse pores and debride skin dirt. Additionally, it helps minimize skin problems such as monsoon acne.

7. Skin Friendly

Skin-friendly cleaners mean substituting soap with improved ingredients that do not harm your skin. Vitamin E, pro-vitamin B, and triple purified water give a reviving face and radiant, moisturized skin.

To find that the face wash is soap-free, look at the ingredient list for words beginning with sodium or potassium and ending in ‘ate,” i.e., Sodium Gluconate.

Side Effects

Though many alcohols have negative effects on the hair and skin, cetyl alcohol comes in the category of fatty alcohols which are harmless. Very rare side effects include

• stinging
• burning
• irritation
• redness

These reactions are only seen in a few people who are allergic.

Usage

As it is a lotion, apply on the skin gently after cleaning the infected area. Use a limited amount so that it covers the required skin part.
