The Truth About Skin Absorption

Handmade soaps are famous for their natural ingredients and meticulous manual production process. However, many people still wonder about the ability to absorb nutrients from soap through the skin. Let's discover the truth with Sanh Nhien through this article.

Scientific analysis

The skin, as a barrier that protects the body from external agents, has the ability to absorb certain nutrients. However, the extent and rate of absorption depends on many factors, including:

  • Molecular size: Nutrients with small molecular size (Vitamins, Glycerin, fatty acids from coconut oil...) will penetrate the skin more easily than large molecules.
  • Skin condition: Healthy skin, with intact skin structure and balanced moisture, will absorb nutrients better than dry, rough or damaged skin.
  • Skin type: Dry skin often has the ability to absorb nutrients better than oily skin.
  • How to use: The length of time the soap stays on your skin, how moist your skin is when you use it, and whether you use other skin care products can all affect how well it absorbs.

Optimizes skin's ability to absorb nutrients

For facial skin, with its delicate structure and higher density of sebaceous glands, the ability to absorb nutrients from handmade soap is often better than that of body skin.

However, it should be noted that facial skin is also a sensitive area, easily irritated by external factors. Therefore, choosing the right handmade soap for your skin type and using it correctly is extremely important.

The skin's ability to absorb nutrients can be enhanced through proper skin care measures:

  • Exfoliate regularly (1-2 times/week): Removing dead skin cells helps unclog pores, creating conditions for better absorption of nutrients.
  • Full moisturizing: Provides necessary moisture to the skin, making it soft, smooth and enhancing the ability to absorb nutrients.
  • Gently massaging when using handmade soap helps increase blood circulation, open pores, and allow nutrients to penetrate deep into the skin.
  • Choose the right handmade soap: Choose soap that contains nourishing ingredients suitable for the needs of your skin, for example: dry skin needs moisturizing, sensitive skin needs soothing,...
