Bombay Shaving Herbatol Plus Anti-Bacterial Soap (100gm)

Description

The Bombay Shaving Company Herbatol Plus Anti-Bacterial Soap (100gm) is a bath soap designed to provide effective cleansing and germ protection, while also caring for the skin. As part of the Bombay Shaving Company’s “Herbatol Plus” line, it often features natural ingredients aimed at hygiene and skin health.

Product Overview: This 100gm bar of soap is formulated to kill germs and bacteria, offering a protective shield against everyday contaminants. It’s suitable for daily use on both face and body, aiming to leave the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and maintaining its natural pH balance. A key characteristic of this soap, similar to other Herbatol Plus products, is its focus on being free from certain harsh chemicals.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits (Commonly found in “Herbatol Plus” antibacterial soaps):

• Neem (Azadirachta Indica Seed Oil/Extract): Neem is a powerhouse ingredient in Ayurvedic skincare, widely recognized for its strong antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. In this soap, Neem helps to effectively kill germs and bacteria, protect against skin infections, and soothe irritated skin, contributing to overall skin freshness.
• Activated Charcoal: Known for its excellent detoxifying and purifying capabilities. Activated Charcoal works like a magnet to draw out dirt, toxins, excess oil, and impurities from deep within the skin’s pores, leaving the skin thoroughly cleansed and refreshed. It can also help in combating issues like acne, whiteheads, and blackheads.
• Glycerin: A natural humectant that attracts and locks moisture into the skin. This helps to prevent the skin from drying out, leaving it soft, supple, and hydrated after washing, which is particularly important for an antibacterial soap that might otherwise feel stripping.
• Milk Powder: Often included for its skin-nourishing and softening properties, contributing to a smooth feel.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and supports its health.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Anti-Bacterial Action: The primary benefit is its ability to kill a high percentage of germs and bacteria (often stated as 99.9% or 99.99%), providing effective protection against skin infections and odor-causing bacteria.
• Deep Cleansing and Purification: The combination of Neem and Activated Charcoal ensures a thorough cleanse, removing dirt, impurities, toxins, and excess oil from the skin’s surface and pores.
• Maintains Natural pH Balance: Formulated to maintain the skin’s natural pH, which is crucial for preserving the skin’s protective barrier and preventing dryness or irritation.
• Sulfate and Paraben-Free: This is a significant advantage, as sulfates (like SLS/SLES) can be harsh and stripping, and parabens are controversial preservatives. Being free from these makes it a gentler option for daily use.
• Pure, Non-Synthetic Fragrance: Often features a natural or mild fragrance (often described as a fresh blend of Neem and Charcoal, without a “medicinal” smell) that is not overpowering and aims to provide all-day freshness.
• Prevents Dryness and Irritation: Despite its antibacterial properties, the inclusion of ingredients like Glycerin helps to keep the skin moisturized and prevents the dryness or irritation often associated with harsh soaps.
• Suitable for All Skin Types: Its balanced formulation and natural ingredients make it generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Made in India: Highlights its origin and supports local manufacturing.

How to Use:

1. Wet the soap with water.
2. Lather it up in your hands or on a washcloth.
3. Apply the lather to your wet face and body.
4. Massage gently for at least 20 seconds to ensure proper cleansing and germ protection.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water until all soap residue is removed.
6. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
7. After use, place the soap in a well-draining soap dish to extend its life.

Important Considerations:

• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water.
• While generally gentle, if you have extremely sensitive skin or known allergies, it’s always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before regular use.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
