Hard Water and Soap Scum

Hard Water and Soap Scum

Do you struggle with hard water in your home? If so, you're not alone. Hard water can make it difficult to get a good lather from your soap and can leave behind soap scum on your skin and in your tub. But fear not, our cold process soap is specially formulated to work well in both hard and soft water conditions.

What is Hard Water?

Hard water is water that contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can react with soap to form soap scum, which can be difficult to rinse away. This can leave your skin feeling dry and itchy, and can also leave a residue on your tub and shower.

How Our Soap Helps

Our cold process soap contains sodium citrate, which helps to soften the water and minimize the formation of soap scum. Sodium citrate acts as a chelating agent, binding to the minerals in the water and preventing them from reacting with the soap. This allows our soap to lather more easily and rinse away cleanly, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

In addition to sodium citrate, our bar soaps are made using the cold process method, which helps to retain the natural glycerin in the soap. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it helps to attract moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated and healthy.

The Benefits of Cold Process Soap

Using cold process soap not only helps to combat the effects of hard water, but it also allows for the use of high-quality ingredients that nourish the skin. Our cold process soap is made in small batches to ensure quality and consistency, and is free from harsh chemicals.

So if you're tired of dealing with the effects of hard water on your skin and in your bathroom, give our cold process soap a try. Your skin will thank you!
