On packing it is specified - not to store at a temperature over 25 degrees and lower than +5. Never such restriction on products for a shower or liquid soap met to me. What would it mean? It is quite difficult to find an explanation. Unless the texture will cease to have uniformity and will lose beautiful nacre. What will become with liquid soap if, for example, to place it in the refrigerator - I did not begin to try.
The aroma seemed to me quite usual. So many means in the form of liquid soap smell. Fruit and soap, probably, it is so possible to characterize it. Expectations of citrus freshness were not met, it is banal aroma of fruit. I will not tell that it unpleasant, but just does not correspond to the lime drawn on packing, grapefruit and orange.
But is at means and advantage
First, packing was pleasant. The bottle of an interesting form - in the form of a bell, the basis is wider than top and therefore so steady jar, does not fall. She does not take a lot of place though the volume of means of 500 ml. Height of a jar is only 12 cm without a lid with the batcher.
Batcher convenient and reliable: there is a clamp in a provision "Close" that is important. In external parameters the product can give "an excellent". Good European packing (not China), does not scratch anywhere and does not cling. From the batcher does not drip when it just costs on a shelf in the bathroom.
There is one more advantage which can be referred to external properties is color and texture. Soap has a pleasant lemon and lime shade with nacreous effect. Therefore it is pleasant to squeeze out it on a palm. Such interesting lemon nacre instantly lightens the mood!
Consistence at soap more liquid, than at classical shower gels, and it is good for this product, soap needs to be distributed quickly on hands without the aid of a bast or a sponge.
Structure of a product
The main thing in a cosmetic product, certainly, is the structure. And allergenic or toxic ingredients of structure can cross out all esthetics. Therefore it is necessary to analyse completely that makes a product basis:
Aqua is water
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is cheap surfactant, it is toxic at high concentrations and long stay on skin.
Carbamide-urea, the useful moisturizing substance for the dry and withering skin.
Pentasodium Triphosphate – on skin is safe, well softens hard water.
Sodium Chloride is table salt.
Cocamide DEA is an emaulgator, it is useful only to consistence of means, does not soften skin, but also it is not dangerous to skin.
Glycol Distearate is safe thickener.
Cocamide MEA is emulsifier, surfactant. Mix of the fatty acids received from coconut oil. It is not toxic at concentration lower than 10%.
Laureth-10 is potential carcinogen, a lot of things depend on concentration and quality of cleaning. Air glycol polyethylene, emulsifier and antistatic.
Parfum is a fragrance, aroma.
Benzyl Alcohol is organic compound, in general it is safe in small doses, is not permissible in children's cosmetics.
Isothiazolinone is preservative, can irritate the skin.
Laureth-4 is potential carcinogen, a lot of things depend on concentration and quality of cleaning. Air glycol polyethylene, emulsifier, is much more harmful than Laureth-10.
Glycerin is very good humidifier, it is used practically in all creams.
Ficus Carica is a fig
Dipropilene Glycol – solvent, safe for the person.
Amygdalus Communis is almonds
Citric Acid is citric acid
Cl 41650 is dye.
Having studied structure, it is possible to understand why means has no unique aroma. From fruit components only a fig. But in structure there are moisturizing ingredients, and not just potentially dangerous surfactant. It is urea, glycerin, almonds, a fig. There is a component softening hard water and thus, raising a product pennost. That is, the producer after all thought of that means was not only cheap, but still at least to some extent modern and moistening.
Summarizing all pluses and minuses, I cannot call this liquid soap a standard. But in separate indicators it for me it became: I liked texture, consistence, quality. There was a small discontent that liquid soap with the name "Fresh citrus" does not possess bright citrus perfumery notes. And – also in pluses it is difficult to write down a large amount of ingredients with presence of potentially dangerous "layreth".
