Which soap is better than
Before using soap, you should choose the right option. Compositions with fatty acids of vegetable origin are foamed worse than with acids of animal origin. If preservatives and dyes do not contain soap, then its shade should be traditional brown or yellow. White pieces with a pleasant scent, similar to toilet soap, contain dyes and flavors. If the product is a dark shade, then the manufacturer used unrefined animal fats.
Synthetic additives improve the appearance and aroma of soap, but can cause allergies. Such an element in the composition, like sodium chloride, dries the skin. A softer effect is provided by ash( used instead of alkali).Products with 72% fatty acids more effectively cope with pollution( the higher this figure, the better the cleaning properties).If the soap is too hard or crumbling, it indicates the expiration of the product. The seam in the middle of the piece indicates that the soap is pressed. This product lasts longer and does not lose its properties when it comes into contact with water.

No less important is the issue of storing this detergent. Different manufacturers produce products with a shelf life of 12 to 36 months. Much depends on the storage conditions of soap. For example, in the package, the products retain their properties longer. An important issue is the quality of the product. If the Soviet product perfectly preserved properties for 10 years, then modern analogues are kept much less because of the features of production and composition.
