Why Use Glycerin Soap?

Glycerin – What Is It?

 

Glycerin is a colorless, odorless and viscous organic compound. It is a neutral, sweet tasting substance which has a high boiling point and freezes to form a thick gummy paste. Glycerin is a good solvent as it dissolves a lot of things easier than water or alcohol. It absorbs moisture from the air. It has soothing effect on your skin when diluted with water and is also known to soften the skin. This is the reason why it is so widely used in cosmetics.

 

Glycerin Soap Benefits – Natural

 

Soaps with synthetic chemicals can harm your skin in many ways. They can be responsible for irritation, redness, swelling and itching of the skin. Homemade glycerin soap is free of synthetic chemicals and is all natural. People who are allergic to chemicals or synthetic soaps can use natural glycerin soap without thinking twice. It will surely benefit them.

 

Glycerin Soap Benefits – Moisturizer

 

Glycerin is a humectant that is capable of drawing moisture towards itself. When you use glycerin on your face, it attracts moisture towards your skin and locks the water molecules there. This keeps your skin hydrated constantly and gives it a moist feeling. Regular use of glycerin soaps can make your skin softer and suppler.

 

Glycerin Soap Benefits – Skin Disorders

 

People with skin diseases like eczema or psoriasis find it very difficult to choose the right soap. Slightest amount of toxic chemicals in their soaps can aggravate their condition. Glycerin soap is very mild and gentle on the skin and can even help in relieving symptoms of certain skin disorders.

Polish Remover Mistakes

Not all nail polish removers are made equally…

 

Some of the nail polish removers out in the market today are very damaging to your nails. While it is proven that nail polish remover is not dangerous to your overall health, the health of your nails can suffer greatly with different brands.

 

Nail polish remover is actually a solvent. All nail polishes contain a small degree of this solvent, which helps the polish stay in its liquid form. Without the solvent, it would thicken and harden and polishing nails would be impossible.

 

When nail polish remover is applied to a polished nail, the remover breaks down the polish and liquefies it, bringing it back to the state it was in before it was applied to the nail and dried. It then dissolves the polish from the nail, hence removing it.

 

Acetone itself is actually present in the human body. It is said that acetone is one of the safest solvents other than water. So then…what sets different removers apart from others?

 

Well, the features and benefits of the remover does!

 

That is why we sell and use in our salon the Zoya Remove Plus product. Here is why…

 

Zoya Remove Plus is an award wining, gentle, yet highly effective 3-in-1 nail polish remover, nail prep and nail conditioner. Longer nail polish wear starts with Remove Plus.

As you can see, there are many benefits of this remover.

This polish was noted in the magazine “The Cut” as the best remover for glitter nail polish. They said “The dispenser was like the kind you see at salons — simply push the pad down and you get the right amount. It removes regular polishes pretty well but had trouble with glitter, shredding a pad after two nails. I loved the pleasant floral scent it left on my fingers.” This product comes in several packaging sizes. 32oz and it is now packaged in the portable, spill-proof 8oz Big Flipper pump container.
