Product Information

On 27 February 2003 the 7th Amendment to the EU Cosmetics Directive (Directive 2003/15/EC) introduced a new legal requirement related to the labelling of 26 specific ingredients if present in a cosmetic product above the following concentration thresholds: 0.001% (10mg/kg) for leave-on products and 0.01% (100mg/kg) for rinse-off products. Not exactly. Pears is not very harsh. Glycerin-based soaps are also rather safe and useful for animals. But Pears has a high alkaline pH which is unsuitable for animals. Pets have different body pH.

We have rated all the brands for their toxic chemicals policies on three key chemicals. Those companies which received a best rating had a policy which has banned the use of parabens, phthalates and triclosan. We talk more about these chemicals in our feature ' Toxic Beauty'.

Keeping your skin adequately hydrated is essential, as dry skin can eventually lead to several challenges. Therefore, you can consider using the Pears soaps that are infused with the goodness of glycerine. These soaps can offer deep moisturisation to your skin, providing it with the necessary nourishment and nurturing. Retaining the moisture of your skin can be highly effective in preventing fine lines and wrinkles from becoming prominent. However, the Leaping Bunny logo on a product does not always mean it's vegan - it can still include animal products e.g. lanolin; but it won't have ingredients which have been tested on animals. The table in our guide to cruelty free and animal testing certification schemes has more information on this. This is the key ingredient in this formulation. Glycerin absorbs water from within the deeper layers of the skin. It also attracts moisture from the air around. Jones, Geoffrey (1 February 2008). "Blonde and blue-eyed?

Instead of containing magnesium, Pears soap contains Tetra-sodium EDTA. This compound works as a water softener and stabilizer. It actually removes hard minerals like magnesium from water, so that the soap can work better. Does Pears soap contain salicylic acid? 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".

Although the testing of cosmetics on animals has been banned in the EU, this is not the case everywhere else in the world. But the REACH legislation has complicated the issue. See our feature on animal testing in cosmetics for more information about animal testing. The following companies were certified by the Leaping Bunny standard, one of the certification schemes for cruelty-free companies: Astonish, Avalon Organics, Bio-D, Conscious Skincare, Lucy Bee, Faith in Nature, Friendly Soap, Jason, Neal’s Yard, Honesty, Little Soap, Natura ( Body Shop). This compound helps the soap to be molded and hardened. This gives the soap its shape and consistency. It keeps the soap chemically stable, without using artificial preservatives. In 2018, the UK government banned the use of microbeads in ‘rinse-off’ products such as soaps. However, microbeads were not banned in products classified as ‘leave on’ ( lotions, sun cream and make-up), nor were liquid plastics.
