Glycerin vs. Sodium Hydroxide

Jul 21, 2023Bank P.

If you are searching for a natural, gentle, and restorative bar soap, look no further than Koji White!

 

Our kojic acid-infused bar soaps are gentle and effective for both your face and your body, and they aren’t just bestsellers for hyperpigmentation. We are proud to be the #1 facial cleansing bar on Amazon in both the US and Canadabeating out some of the biggest brands in the skincare industry! 

 

The Difference Glycerin Makes in Our Soap

Unlike our competitors, Koji White soap and skincare products are formulated with glycerin instead of sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is a common ingredient in bar soap. While it may not irritate your skin immediately, using sodium hydroxide soap long-term can dry, damage, and irritate your skin. This may be why your face and body remain dry no matter how much moisturizer you apply.

 

Glycerin is a naturally derived humectant, so it helps your skin retain moisture. It has a low pH level, so it won’t strip your skin. Being that it’s gentle, glycerin is safe for all skin types—including dry and sensitive skin. Our proprietary formula also moisturizes and softens while cleansing and brightening but be sure to apply serum and moisturizer after you shower or wash your face.
