Soap from the same manufacturer, but a completely different product: not jelly like black soap, but a dense white mass with a floral scent. I take the third or fourth jar solely for the sake of variety, although I like this soap less than black - it does not wash my hair so well, after white soap they get confused.

Grade: 4 out of 5
Test period:

The manufacturer also has a flower soap, but, unfortunately, I have never seen it in Auchan.

A couple of weeks ago, running into a row of stands with cosmetics, I saw on the shelf not only white and black soaps from Babushka Agafya, but also three types of unfamiliar jars: black, white and green bath soaps from Floresan. After sniffing the black and white (they look great like Grandmother Agafya's products), I came to the conclusion that I don't really like the smell - it smells like chemistry, but the green one had a pleasant coniferous smell, I took it for a test.

Floresan Natural taiga green soap for bath and shower for body and hair care Formula: 38

Description from the manufacturer:

Natural taiga soap for baths and showers for body and hair care The development of cosmetics in Rus' is largely due to the history of our country. Ancient Russian pagan beauties especially valued natural remedies and skillfully used them. The healing properties of herbs and flowers were widely used. A special role in skin care was played by the Russian bath, which was a kind of beauty parlor. It was believed that the bath helped to heal not only the body, but also the soul. That is why we have created Natural Taiga Soap, developed on the basis of natural saponins contained in the soap root, enriched with extracts of medicinal plants.

Compound: it was not possible to take a picture directly on the bank - I had to tear off the label





Expanded opinion:

Outwardly, the soap looks like black soap - the same dark jelly, it also looks similar to the touch. True, there is no funny birch leaf, as in black soap, in green - but they could at least put a twig :) It has a strong smell of needles. My body does not dry them, it is well distributed over the skin, but the hair got tangled after the first wash and I will not experiment anymore.

Price: 100 rub.

Have you tried Floresan bath soaps?

No matter how much the majority of sauna visitors dislike the biting blows of a steamed broom, the main purpose of the steam room is to wash the body, which is carried out with the help of special cleansers. They can be either solid or liquid. One of these products is bath soap, the choice of which is distinguished by its own characteristics.

Soap in the form familiar to us appeared relatively recently. In the old days, sand and ash were used to cleanse the body. In ancient Egypt, beeswax paste diluted with herbal infusions was used. But such a composition was affordable only for wealthy citizens. The prototype of modern soap was developed in Italy in 1424.

And although today they produce a wide variety of types of products, our grandmothers still used standard soap bars. Now anyone can buy soap to their liking: solid, pasty, liquid, with the addition of scrub and cream. At the same time, many manufacturers strive to return to the roots, releasing soap with the maximum content of natural substances.

The benefits of a natural product

Natural soap is best suited for use in hot, humid bath conditions. It does not contain chemical compounds, which means:

• Not only cleanses the hair, but gives it volume and strength;
• It has a healing effect on the skin.

This tool costs a little more, but it also lasts for a longer period.

How soap works

When soap and water interact, a foam is formed that absorbs and dissolves dirt. After washing off, the skin becomes clean and beautiful.

If the soap contains a significant percentage of alkali, then the foam must be removed very carefully. Otherwise, it will disrupt the acid balance of the skin, cause irritation and inflammation. It is not recommended to use soap to cleanse the face of people with sensitive skin.

Bath soap selection

One of the most important factors influencing the choice of soap is the type of skin. For example, in no case should you wash a dry cover with an oily one.

When buying soap, pay attention to its expiration date. It seems to many that the product can be used indefinitely. But if the soap is made from natural ingredients, then after a certain time its use will give an unpredictable reaction.

The composition of the product is important. The presence of certain components allows you to solve various problems:

• Glycerin softens the skin and reduces the negative effects of hard water;
• Alkaline supplements help fight acne;
• Creams and essential oils improve the condition of dry skin.

Overview of modern bath soap options

Conclusion

Peculiarities

Bath soap is different from toilet soap the usual version, which we are so accustomed to using for everyday hygiene. Thanks to the use of such a remedy in a sauna, you can get rid of many skin problems. Especially popular is liquid black soap.

Here are some of the salient features of the bath:

• cosmetic product can be used as a shampoo;
• during application, the skin does not dry out;
• The natural ingredients present in the soap cleanse the skin well.

Particular attention should be paid to the composition. For the production of soap, only natural ingredients are used. Synthetic additives and various chemical constituents must be completely excluded from the composition during the creation process. This is due to the fact that under pressure high temperatures in the bath, such low-quality soap has a negative effect when used.

Another feature of this cosmetic product is the presence of antibacterial properties. Natural ingredients perfectly cope with minor skin problems. Soap is often used as a shampoo. In this case, you can get rid of problems such as itching and dandruff.

Varieties

Modern manufacturers of cosmetic preparations offer several types of bath products. The most popular is solid soap. The main advantage of such products is that they are convenient to use. Only natural ingredients are used in the manufacture of the products.

How to choose

When choosing the right soap for the bath, you need to pay attention to several important points . One of the decisive factors is the type of skin. It is quite easy to determine it, it can be done without the help of specialists. If you notice that the skin is dry, peeling and irritated, you need to look at a product containing oil in the base. Already after the first use, the condition of the cover improves significantly.

But for oily skin it is worth choosing an option with natural ingredients that can normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Fortunately, such products are presented in a fairly wide range.

One of the important factors is the composition of the product. It is best to choose products containing glycerin in the base. This substance softens the skin and protects it from the effects of negative external factors. Often, alkaline additives are present in the basis of cosmetic products, which is also an advantage. Their effect on the skin prevents the appearance of irritation and acne.

good option for the bath will be a thick cream soap. Most often, such products contain essential oils, which improve the condition of dry skin.

An important point is the expiration date of the product. If the base consists of natural ingredients, after the specified period, the cosmetic product may not benefit, but harm. Often, when using an expired product, allergic reactions on the skin appear.

How to do it yourself

If you did not have time to pick up soap for a bath in a store, you can easily make it yourself. To do this, you need to prepare a few simple ingredients. The main component will be an opaque soap base (100 g). You can prepare it using a water bath or a simple microwave.

In the process, be careful not to overheat the base. Bubbles should not appear on the surface, as this will affect the quality of the product in the future. The base must be removed from the bath immediately after it becomes soft.

The soap composition must be thoroughly mixed, and then the remaining ingredients should be introduced. Pre-prepare oils, crushed dry seaweed (sold in a pharmacy) and glycerin. All of these ingredients are good for dry skin. Glycerin (5 drops), algae (2 tsp) and, at the end, oils are added to the base.

If you want to give the product a rich color, you can add a dye to the composition. The hot mixture is well mixed, and then poured into molds. If there are no special containers at hand, you can use plastic food boxes.

Then you need to wait until the product is completely dry.. To make the soap separate easily, you need to lightly press the bottom of the mold. It is worth noting that such a handmade product will be an excellent option for a present.

Coffee can be used to create cosmetics. Women claim that the use of such a remedy allows you to get rid of the hated cellulite on your legs.

For cooking, you must use a soap base, coffee, oils and vitamins in ampoules. All these components can be purchased at any pharmacy. The manufacturing principle is similar to the previous one.
