About this deal

There are now versions of Pears such as Pomegranate soap. This variety claims to brighten skin. In the same vein, it doesn’t cause the skin to become darker either. If it causes blemishes, it is because the skin is sensitive. This process is called saponification. Higher saponification means more refined and superior soap. The higher the value, the better the quality. It will be much more moisturizing. And less harsh and harmful to the skin. Geoffrey Jones, Beauty Imagined: A History of the Global Beauty Industry, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2010 ISBN 0199639620 Pears soaps and body washes are paraben-free. Parabens are usually added as preservatives. They prolong the soap’s shelf-life. They prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi. Instead, Pears uses Butylated HydroxyToluene (BHT) and Sodium Meta-bisulfite.

Pears Glycerin soap is a British brand of soap first produced and sold in 1807 by Andrew Pears, at a factory just off Oxford Street in London. It was the world's first mass-market translucent soap. Under the stewardship of advertising pioneer Thomas J. Barratt, A. & F. Pears initiated a number of innovations in sales and marketing. English actress and socialite Lillie Langtry was recruited to become the poster-girl for Pears in 1882, and in doing so she became the first celebrity to endorse a commercial product.

This makes it more vulnerable to infections, flaky patches, impurities, and flare-ups. Does Pears Soap contain animal fat?

Pears' unique manufacturing process required the soap to be dried for up to thirteen weeks so that the alcohol used in the process could evaporate and be re-used. The soap bars were laid out on wooden trays in drying rooms known as "ovens" about the size of a domestic garage. Bars were placed on trays with both sides open to the air. Ovens were graded in warmth from around 70F (21C) to 100F (39C). As drying proceeded trolleys loaded with trays were moved to progressively warmer ovens. [14] In practice the soap often became opaque. Unilever explored options to prevent this, all of which would have added to the cost: Lever Brothers, now Unilever, acquired A. & F. Pears in 1917. Products under the Pears brand are currently manufactured in India and Saudi Arabia for global distribution. Pears is dermatologically tested to be moderate on sensitive skin. But you can take your doctor’s opinion on whether it is suitable for you. Every pregnancy and skin type is different. Is Pears soap safe for babies?

Pears (soap) - Wikipedia

Pears soap was made using a process entirely different from that for other soaps. A mixture of tallow and other fats was saponified by an alkali. Clearly, this is currently caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), since the ingredients list shows sodium salts of fatty acids, but a chemist reports that in the 1960s, caustic potash ( potassium hydroxide) was used. It has not been possible to determine what was used in the early days of the product, as the writings of Francis Pears mention only alkali in industrial methylated spirits. After saponification was completed, the resulting glycerol was left in the batch. Batches were made not in huge pans, but in small kettle-like vessels. As soon as the translucent amber liquid had cooled enough to solidify, it was extruded into opaque oval bars that were cut into bath- or toilet-weight tablets, ready for beginning their long spell in the drying rooms (ovens). The hot liquid soap fresh from the vessel had a total fatty matter (TFM) of 45% compared with the TFMs of 70–80% usual in soaps made by the conventional method. The TFM increased considerably as the alcohol content fell during drying. The concave shape of the soap is formed by shrinkage while the soap is drying, and is not due to deliberate moulding. During production at Port Sunlight the glycerol (glycerine) content was a result of not removing that formed during the manufacturing process.

On 6 January 2010, after a Facebook campaign, it was reported in the media that Pears planned to abandon the new formula and that by March 2010 a new version would be available that is "much closer to the original". [17] On 8 January 2010, it was reported in the media that Pears would not abandon the new formula but "make further improvements, by delivering a scent that more closely resembles" the original formula. [18] 2016 relaunch [ edit ] No, Pears soaps do not have magnesium in them. They don’t contain magnesium sulfates or hydroxides. Magnesium in soaps provides a range of health benefits. It allows the skin to absorb crucial minerals. It also soothes the nerves, relaxing the muscles too.

Pears has a high pH of 9.8. Most soaps have a pH that ranges from 9-10. But this is highly alkaline. It may not be suited to all skin types. This is especially the case for sensitive facial skin. Even though Pears is very tender, its pH is very alkaline. Baby skin pH is even more delicate. An alkaline soap can cause redness, allergies, inflammation, etc. The soap is labeled hypoallergenic. But ingredients like colorants and glycol ethers can cause breathing problems. Pears soap is meant to be a universal cleanser. It doesn’t contain bleach or any bleaching agents. It is not meant to change the shade of skin or improve complexion. So Pears is middling in terms of quality, texture, and effectiveness. TFM is usually higher for ‘toilet soaps’. These are luxury, high-end, beneficial soaps. Pears is not a toilet soap, but a ‘bathing bar’. It is a regular cleaning soap, which isn’t meant specifically for grooming or cosmetic purposes. Sodium hydroxide (lye) is combined with fatty acids from palm oil. Lye is also added to sulfur dioxide to make sodium meta-bisulfite. This is an antioxidant and disinfectant. So Pears soaps will probably contain traces of lye from this chemical process.Beginning with 2003, a British company called Cert Brands took charge of the marketing and distribution of Pears soap. [11] [12] Gallery [ edit ] But it is feared to be carcinogenic. It is believed to cause organ damage and disrupt hormones. But there is minimal evidence of this, even in animal tests. Many soaps are also thought to contain pig fat or lard. But Pears does not use these animal-derived salts or fats. Animal fats are not essential to get this creamy, soothing effect. So Pears soaps can be used by vegans. They are cruelty-free as well. Pears soaps are not tested on animals. Does Pears soap contain parabens, SLS and other chemicals?
