Product Description:
How to use naturally antibacterial British hemp oil soap for washing the hands, face and for exfoliating the skin and feet.
Antibacterial Hemp Oil Soap is ideal for
- Hand Washing
- Nail Scrubbing
- Deep Cleaning the oily zones of combination skin
- Exfoliation
- Shaving (we have a separate page in the shop for Shaving Soap).
- Many dreaded household cleaning tasks, such as cleaning the hob, sink, burn pans, roasting pans etc (also on a separate page)
Just to explain, our Hemp Oil Soft Soap is used for washing, cleaning and shaving. It is a 'universal soap' but we have just given it three different shop pages so we can focus the instructions and send you a jar with a label containing the instructions for all the key tasks. So all of the hemp soap, for all of these uses is made at the same time in the same pan. It doesn't really matter which jar you choose.
Anti-microbial testing of the Hemp Oil Soap
I had been curious to find out how well the hemp oil soap killed germs. So I asked my favourite microbiologist to conduct some 'challenge' tests on it. He spent a week growing his microbial cultures and then added them to the hemp oil soap to see what happened. The results are check after an hour, after 1 day and after 1 week.
There are normally three possible results:
- The bacteria and fungus love it and proliferate - that of course is a very bad result! Sometimes you can end up with more germs in the product because as bacteria are killed, they release more microbes from within themselves. Well that would be a complete fail.
- The germs neither multiply nor decrease. Again this soap would be quite useless.
- Or the germ colonies are decreased. You would expect most soaps to do this.
- We got the very unusual fourth possibility. All of the introduced bacteria were killed in the hemp oil soap within 1 hour. So that was a very speedy demise of 247 million colony forming units of Pseudomonas aeriginosa, 10 million colony forming units of Staphylococcus aureus and over 3 million colony forming units of Candida albicans. Just to be thorough the levels were checked after one day and one week and again - nothing. Next time I will ask my scientist to take a shorter lunch break to assess an even speedier test!
Very well done British Naturally Antimicrobial Hemp Oil Soap!
Hand washing and cleaning nails with Hemp Oil Soap
Never doubting the powers of the soap to clean the grimiest of hands: We have tried it on forgers, charcoal burners, mechanics, horse owners and gardeners. The soap is also great for scrubbing the nails.
Hemp oil soap is ideal for frequent hand washers as it does not provoke irritation to the skin. Simply get the hands wet, preferably with warm water, take a small dab of soft soap, rub it over every part of the hands, fingers and wrists. Apply a small dab of soap to a nail brush and scrub under the nails. Rinse the nail brush and rinse the hands.
For hands with embedded grime, use a nail brush (gently) over the finger pads, palms cuticles and nails. See the grime lift. Rinse well and dry the hands.
Our antibacterial Hemp Oil Soft Soap will leave the hands and nails clean without drying the skin or damaging the nails.
Face Washing with Hemp Oil Soap
The soap is great for washing combination skin on the face, cleaning deep within the pores and drawing excess oil from under the skin. We will give our tips below. I use it on my nose and chin. I don't recommend use above the level of the eyes, or close to the eyes, because it is soap and it does hurt the eyes. Daily use of the anti-microbial hemp soap works wonders on skin prone to pimples and makes an immediate difference.
Wet the oily zones with a warm water.
Apply a dab of soap finger tips and spread over the zones to be cleaned.
You might need to add more water to achieve a slippy texture and a tiny bit more soap to see the fine foam.
Massage the soap on these oily areas of skin for a few minutes.
Rinse well.
Exfoliating with Soft Soap
Why exfoliate the skin?
The first principle of skin care is to remove any dead skin. Dead skin looks dull, can appear flaky, dry, thick, inflexible and it may become prone to itchiness and infection. It is impossible to moisturize dead skin and excessive dead skin can impair the function of the underlying living skin. The body also send toxins to be encapsulated in the dead skin layer, so that they will be assured of leaving the body.
The discomfort of carrying around dead skin is our body’s way of telling us to remove the dead layer from the outer surface of the skin, so the underlying living layers can perform their health enhancing functions. Mammals will frequently roll on the ground, groom and rub against trees to exfoliate and still among humans exfoliation is the first principle of skincare.
In the past, walking barefoot would have kept the excess hard skin on the feet in balance but extra care would have been given to the rest of the body. Everybody likes to have comfortable, flexible and fully functioning skin!
Exfoliating of the entire body is performed at the beginning of traditional bathing rituals using soft soap at least once every week. The soap softens the dead layer, so it can easily be rubbed off with an exfoliating glove. Pumice is used to remove the thick dead skin on the soles of the feet. Weekly exfoliation is recommended to keep the skin in tip top condition.
How to Exfoliate the Skin
Get the skin warm and wet either in a shower or a wet room. Turn the shower off. Rub the soap over the wet skin. Leave the soap to work for between 2 and 10 minutes, depending on your skin type. Make sure that the soap stays damp and active. Then rub the skin with an exfoliating glove. Any dead skin will be removed. Rinse the skin thoroughly.
How to exfoliate the hard skin on the feet with hemp oil soft soap
You will need to sit down, because the soap is extremely slippery. If you can't manage easily in the shower, then it is best to pumice the feet separately with the help of a foot bath or bowl or bucket of water.
Get the feet warm and wet. Either with a foot bath, or sitting in a wet room or large shower. Rub the soap around the feet, particularly on the soles, heals, toes, between the toes etc. Leave the soap to work for up 10 minutes, making sure that the soap doesn't dry out. Massage a little water into the skin from time to time to prevent the soap drying. Exfoliate the underside and edges of the foot with pumice and the upper surface of the foot and between the toes with an exfoliating glove (the hands alone are not sufficient to remove the dead skin!) Rinse well.
Can Hemp Oil Soap Kill the Coronavirus?
Our Hemp Oil Soap will destroy viruses. A virus is just a membrane full of RNA. The membrane is described as lipid envelope (fatty), with corona, a protein envelope. The hemp oil soap works as a degreaser, breaking down the fats and acts as an exfoliator, breaking down the protein (in the same way it breaks away dead skin from living skin). Destroying the membrane. The virus can no longer function as a virus - replicate. The soap is also slippery making it difficult for the virus to attach with its spikes.
I would use the hemp oil soap over any other because it is such a fast acting soap for hand washing and the cleaning of germy surfaces and it doesn't harm the skin even with repeated hand washing. It can be used for cleaning a multitude of surfaces.
