Our skin, whose soft, smooth, resistant, stretchable and impermeable fabric protects us from rays, microorganisms but also shocks, must be protected and washed without being delipidated. To cleanse our skin while nourishing it and leaving it with a protective film, we often resort in winter to shower oils whose galenic formula is more suited to atopic and sensitive skin.

Shower Gel versus Shower Oil?

Without opposing oils to shower gels, their formula composed of up to 20% of oil compensates by an ultra moisturizing action the presence of surfactants, detergents essential to wash the residues of our skin ... Not to mention the richer oil texture, more easy to rinse, leaving the skin soft and nourished, supple and comfortable throughout the day. A galenic adapted to the atopic skins but also suitable for reactive skins, so-called sensitive that winter makes more vulnerable to the variations of temperature and the friction of the clothes.

The oil of shower, a washing for the body which has all good

Rare are the oils of shower to contain only oils, because most have their first ingredient, water. Their more respectful formulas of the epidermis are composed of a classic washing base based on water and surfactants to which is added up to 20% of the replenishing oils. A galenic that foams little but also cleans well. More exceptional, some formulas completely free from water, composed of oils and surfactants to clean the skin as a washing care.

What is a surfactant?

They are at the heart of washing products, and are indispensable in their role as detergents (and at the same time as emulsifiers). They are compounds capable of dispersing fatty substances in water, forming foams, stabilizing emulsions and promoting wetting of surfaces.
