SOAP Ordinary soap is

FDA/CFSAN Cosmetics: Soap U. S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Office of Cosmetics and Colors Fact Sheet February 3, 1995 SOAP Ordinary soap is solely made up of fats and an alkali. In thepast, people made their own soap from animal fats and wood ashes. Today there are very few true soaps in the traditional sense on themarket. You might recognize these soaps as products marketed withcharacteristics such as "pure". "True" soaps are regulated by theConsumer Product Safety Commission, not FDA, and do not requireingredient labeling. Most body cleansers on the market today are actually syntheticdetergent products and come under the jurisdiction of FDA. Thesedetergent cleansers are popular because they make suds easily inwater and don't form gummy deposits. Some of these detergentproducts are actually marketed as "soap" but are not true soap inthe common and legal definition of the word. If a cosmetic claim is made on the label of a "true" soap orcleanser, such as moisturizing or deodorizing, the product mustmeet all FDA requirements for a cosmetic, and the label must listall ingredients. If a drug claim is made on a cleanser or soap,such as antibacterial, antiperspirant, or anti acne, the product isa drug, and the label must list all active ingredients, as isrequired for all drug products. The 1979 FDA Consumer article reprinted below provides additionalinformation on soap products.You also may wish to refer to a related Fact Sheet: Is it a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? (Or is itSoap?) . U. S. Food and Drug Administration FDA Consumer February 1979 ALL THAT LATHERS IS NOT SOAP by Harold Hopkins You've been near it all your life, bassinet to bath toboudoir. It was used behind your ears before perfume was usedthere. It has removed dirt and grime from your face, fingers, andknees. If you've said naughty words your mother may havethreatened to wash out your mouth with it. It has cleansed you,made you smell good, added a glow to your complexion, and helpedmake you feel fresher. But what do you really know about soap? Well, in the first place the product you regard as soap maynot be soap at all, but a synthetic detergent "beauty" or "bath"bar. These and similar names have been used by copywriters tospare the consumer the awful knowledge that she is not bathingherself with real soap, but with a synthetic detergent which,ironically, is for some purposes superior to soap. Some "soap"bars may consist of soap and synthetic detergent. Soap, as long as we can remember, has enjoyed an enviablerespect in polite society and this could be at least a part of thereason why Congress placed soap above the law in enacting the Food,Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. This law exempted soap fromregulation as a cosmetic. So long as no cosmetic representations are made for soap,other than that it cleanses, and no claims are made that it willaffect the structure or functions of the body or treat a disease,it is beyond FDA regulation. When such claims are made the soapmust meet all FDA requirements for a cosmetic or a drug or both,whichever is appropriate. If it's represented as a drug the labelmust list all active ingredients; if represented as both a cosmeticand drug or as only a cosmetic the label must list all ingredients. For instance, if a soap is labeled as a deodorant soap, FDAconsiders this to be a cosmetic claim and the label must, as withother cosmetics, carry a list of ingredients. If the soap makes amedical claim, such as that it will cure dandruff, it is considereda drug and must carry required drug labeling and also meet FDAsafety and effectiveness requirements. Fortunately, plain soap of the noncosmetic, nondrug varietyhas earned a good reputation. Apart from the familiar sting fromgetting soap into your eyes or the peril of slipping on a bar inthe bathtub or shower, common bath and hand soap is relativelysafe. In fact we often use it to remove other substances from ourhands and skin that we think are a lot less safe. For purposes of excluding ordinary soap from regulation as acosmetic, FDA defines it as a product in which most of thenonvolatile matter consists of an alkali salt of fatty acids andwhose detergent properties are due to these alkali-fatty acidcompounds. Our ancestors often made their own soap for laundering,cleaning, and bathing from animal fats and wood ashes. Today'ssoap may contain perfumes, colors, and oils, but if it isrepresented only as soap it's out of FDA's regulatory bailiwick. Ordinary soap is regulated by the Consumer Product SafetyCommission under authority of the Hazardous Substances Act. CPSC'sjurisdiction covers most noncosmetic, nondrug substances used inthe home. If the bar you use for bathing does not claim to be a soap,it's probably a synthetic detergent product. FDA defines a cosmeticas an article intended to be used on the body for cleansing,beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance;thus, a nonsoap product intended for any of these purposes isautomatically classified as a cosmetic. Soaps and synthetic detergent cleansing agents function inwater in somewhat the same way; that is, they break down theresistance barrier between the water and the dirt, grime, oil, orother material, allowing it to be wetted and washed away. Soapworks well in soft water, but in hard water, which contains arelatively high amount of calcium in solution, the calcium and soapreact to form a gummy material called soap scum, which includesdirt and other matter. This gummy stuff is what forms the familiarring in the bathtub. The increasing number of synthetic detergent bars on themarket is due largely to their more efficient functioning in water,regardless of hardness, and because they don't form gummy depositsas does soap. There are many types of synthetic detergents,ranging from strong to mild; usually the milder types are used forpersonal cleansing. Some of the harsher detergents are capable ofcausing eye irritation or injury and manufacturers normally avoidusing these in personal bathing bars. There are consumers who mayexperience irritation or allergic skin reactions from somesynthetic detergents. Some consumers also may be allergic tofragrances, colors, or other substances added to either soaps orsynthetic detergent bars. FDA's file of about 70 reports of adverse reactions during theyears 1975 through 1977 from use of bar soaps and syntheticdetergent bars that qualify as cosmetics includes consumercomplaints about skin rash, redness, inflammation, irritation,itching, and burning among the most common problems. The ConsumerProduct Safety Commission's file of complaints and injuryinvestigations shows similar effects on the skin and eyeirritations. Consumer complaints about adverse reactions tosynthetic detergent bars and those soaps classified as cosmeticsmay be made to any FDA district office or to the Director, Divisionof Cosmetics Technology, Food and Drug Administration, 200 C Street, SW, Washington, DC20204 . * Complaints of adverse reactions from ordinary personalcleansing soap not classified as a cosmetic or drug should be sentto the Consumer Complaints Section, Consumer Product SafetyCommission, Washington, DC 20207. Complaints may also be made andinformation obtained on any current recalls, warnings, or bansconcerning soap by dialing the toll-free CPSC Hotline forConsumers: 1-800-638-2772.

The nicks and cuts that are caused by shaving are also often referred to by this term. It tends to occur more frequently in people with thicker, curlier hair and can affect the skin anywhere you shave. An excellent treatment for this condition is Neova After Shave Therapy which calms irritated skin after shaving. It contains Aloe Vera, which sooths, while the GHK Copper Peptide Complex protects against skin-damaging free radicals. After Shave Therapy makes the skin comfortable and restores moisture balance. Improper shaving may cause Folliculitis, where the hair grows slightly under the skin and becomes trapped, causing a bacterial infection. Folliculitis is often accompanied by inflammation and pus. The treatment for this condition is to alleviate the irritation, dry up and disinfect the pustules and desensitize the skin. A soothing gel mask, such as Neova Therapy Copper Moisture Mask , is probably the most comfortable product to hydrate and treat this area. Exfoliating with products such as PCA Skin pHaze4 Gentle Exfoliant , Physician’s Complex Microdermabrasion Cream or Nucelle Mandelic Mint Scrub would also be helpful in keeping the follicles open and clean Pseudo-folliculitis Barbae, often referred to as razor bumps, resembles folliculitis without the pus. This condition also results from improper shaving techniques. It appears as irritated follicles, but the area is not usually infected. Ingrown hairs are the main cause of pseudo-folliculitis, seen frequently in the beard area, especially the neck. An ingrown hair is a hair that curls and penetrates the skin with its tip, causing inflammation. Each ingrown hair results in a tiny, mildly painful pimple with a barely visible hair curling into the center. PCA Skin Men's Travel Kit , which includes an exfoliation scrub to exfoliate and deep pore cleanse, a cleanser to soothe and cleanse and an antiinflammatory to heal, moisturize and protect the skin, is an excellent product to treat razor bumps and ingrown hair. Tips for Preventing Ingrown Hairs When Shaving Shave after the hair has been wet for at least 5 minutes. Hair that is wet and full of moisture can be cut easily. Hair that is not well saturated can be strong and tough. As the razor passes over, the hair is pulled up from the follicle. After it is cut, it retracts below the skin surface with the resultant risk of it growing into the surrounding tissue. PCA Skin for Men's Total Wash Face and Body Cleanser or the PCA Skin pHaze31 BPO Cleanser are anti-bacterial cleansers that kill infection and prevent pustules from forming. Use twice per day. Try using a product, such as Glytone Serious Shave Cream , to provide protection and lubrication and to soften and condition the skin. To calm and sooth the face, men should shave and wash in a downward direction. Shaving in the direction of the hair growth will prevent hair from being cut too short. Neova Calming Green Tea Serum is an excellent product to use after shaving. Two powerful forms of green tea extract, rich in soothing antioxidants, are blended with calming licorice root to visibly relieve signs of inflammation and sensitivity. Prevent ingrown hairs by avoiding repeat strokes over the same area, which can result in the hair being cut too short. Don't double up. You may not care for electric razors, but double-track razors are double trouble. The first blade cuts and sharpens the hair, while the second blade cuts below the skin level. The result is that the sharpened hair curls around and grows back into the skin. Instead, use a single-track razor and settle for a shave that is not as close. Shave with the skin in a relaxed condition. Don’t stretch the skin too tightly. A little pressure may be necessary, but excessive stretching can result in the hair being cut too short. Try using PCA Men Total Wash Face & Body Cleanser twice a day in conjunction with a loofah bath or shower. The cleanser works into a creamy lather and may also be used for shaving. It's a good idea to put a damp towel on your face for a few minutes after shaving. It softens the whiskers so they're less able to re-penetrate the skin. Use a creamy aftershave lotion, such as Neova After Shave Therapy , which has soothing properties to keep the hair moisturized. If, despite your best efforts, a whisker does manage to burrow inside, you can cut down on the amount of bacteria it carries with it. A product with benzoyl peroxide solution or mandelic acid, such as PCA Skin pHaze33 Acne Cream or NuCelle Mandelic Serum 10% , has an antibiotic effect and can also be used as an aftershave. For added protection and to keep ingrown hairs from coming back, use PCA Men Total Defense Calming Hydrator SPF 25 , which offers broad-spectrum UV protection, hydration and antioxidant action. Laser Hair Removal as a Treatment for Ingrown Hair An ingrown hair often heals on its own. However, in the case of chronic ingrown hairs, treatment may include laser hair removal. Because laser hair removal targets hair at the follicle, it's a remarkable ingrown hair treatment. After several sessions, you'll notice your hair shedding and the dark spots and bumps from folliculitis disappearing. visit www.lasaway.com for more information on laser hair removal © 1998-2005 Skin Care Rx, LLC - All Rights Reserved Terms of Use :: Security Information :: Privacy Policy :: Site Map
