As the colder months settle in, many of us notice a troubling shift in the condition of our hands. After countless hand washes with liquid hand soap, the skin becomes dry, tight, and even cracks or bleeds. This discomfort isn’t just annoying; it can lead to more serious skin issues if left untreated. But why does this happen, and how can you prevent it? The answer lies in choosing the right soap for the job—one that moisturizes and nourishes instead of stripping your skin’s natural defences.
Why Do Hands Suffer in Cold Weather?
Cold weather brings a drop in humidity, which means the air is dryer and less able to retain moisture. Our skin, especially the skin on our hands, is already vulnerable since it's constantly exposed to the elements. Washing hands frequently in liquid hand soaps that contain harsh chemicals compounds the issue. These soaps often remove the skin’s natural oils, leaving hands unprotected and prone to drying out.
Without that protective layer, hands crack and can even bleed, making every day tasks uncomfortable. Traditional liquid hand washes often contain chemicals that are effective at cleaning but are overly harsh on your skin, especially in the winter.
How SNOAP Protects Your Hands Naturally
SNOAP, with its blend of natural ingredients, is designed to be gentle on your skin while still thoroughly cleansing. Unlike many liquid hand washes that strip away your skin's natural oils, SNOAP nourishes and helps maintain your skin’s moisture barrier. It does this through its carefully selected, eco-friendly ingredients, which work together to keep your hands soft and healthy, even in the coldest months.
Key ingredients in our SNOAP collections, like glycerin, are natural moisturizers that attract and retain water in the skin. This helps create a barrier that locks in hydration. Additionally, hemp seed oil and castor oil are rich in fatty acids, which nourish the skin, making it more resilient to cold and dry air.
Nourishing SNOAP also contains buttermilk, known for its soothing and moisturizing properties, and Soothing contains oat kernel flour, which helps calm irritated skin. These ingredients work in harmony to repair and protect, reducing the chances of your hands drying out, cracking, or becoming irritated.
SNOAP vs. Liquid Hand Wash: The Difference is Clear
Many liquid hand washes contain synthetic detergents and preservatives that can be incredibly drying to the skin. With each wash, they strip away the skin's natural oils—oils that are essential for keeping your hands moisturized and protected.
SNOAP, on the other hand, uses a more natural approach. By incorporating ingredients like vitamin E (in Indulgence) and sea buckthorn fruit extract (in Rugged), SNOAP helps reinforce the skin's protective barrier rather than deplete it. Tea tree leaf oil and natural fragrance oils ensure your hands stay clean and fresh without the damaging effects of harsh chemicals.
