Soap bar
Perhaps you have never considered that you can clean your body with soap in many ways? Do you know how a soap bar works and what types of soap for men are available? Maybe after reading this, you'll switch to a different type of soap or conclude that your soap isn't so bad after all.
How does a soap bar work?
In a soap bar or soap in the form of a shower gel, there are soap molecules, Sodium Hydroxide. When the bar of soap or the shower gel comes into contact with water, you get lye, and the soap molecules establish a connection between fat and water. Water and fat usually repel each other. This connection makes it possible to loosen dirt and grease, bind them to the soap molecules, and rinse them away with water. This process of degreasing the skin works optimally with warm water.
What types of soap are there?
Soap for men can be divided into two types, namely hard soap and liquid soap. Both types can consist of natural ingredients as well as synthetic substances.
Hard soap, soap bars
You can buy hard soaps in many forms, packaged and unpackaged, and very handy, on a rope (soap on a rope) and even in the form of flakes.
The best for your skin and the most environmentally friendly are, of course, natural or organic hard soaps, which consist only of natural ingredients and oils. You can find a huge selection of soap on our webshop.
Hard soap often looks very attractive as well. It's not surprising that hard soap is making a comeback. The beauty of hard soaps is that they are indefinitely shelf-stable as long as they are kept dry. The older a hard soap is, the higher the concentration of active ingredients. So feel free to stock up.
Liquid soap (shower gel)
Liquid soap consists mainly of water. Unfortunately, most of the liquid soaps offered are synthetic. Together with the plastic packaging, this is a double burden on the environment. Fortunately, at The Alpha Men, many natural liquid soaps are also offered. Good shower gel for men can be found here.
Men's fragrances
Soap for men naturally has very different fragrances than soap for women. Bold, fresh fragrances like those of sandalwood, citrus, or musk. With an unscented soap, you are always on the safe side. After washing, you can then use a eau de parfum or aftershave from your favorite brand.
