Brilio.net - Soap is one of the most commonly used bath tools that people use. Its function is very important in maintaining body cleanliness and health. Soap plays a role in removing dirt, oil and bacteria that stick to the skin, thereby helping prevent various kinds of skin diseases and infections. Apart from that, using soap provides a fresh and fragrant feeling which adds comfort when bathing.
The types of soap available on the market are very diverse, ranging from bar soap, liquid soap, gel soap, to soap made from natural ingredients. Each type of soap has its own advantages and benefits, depending on the user's needs and preferences. For example, soap made from natural ingredients is preferred by those with sensitive skin, because it tends to be gentler and does not contain harsh chemicals. Meanwhile, liquid soap is often more practical to use and easy to apply.
Well, even though there are various types of soap sold on the market, quite a few people still choose to use bar soap. Not without reason, this type of soap is considered more effective at cleaning visible dirt because it can be rubbed directly over the entire surface of the skin.
Not only that, bar soap tends to be more economical than liquid soap. Because bar soap is denser and can last longer. Apart from that, bar soap is easier to carry, especially when traveling. Besides that, bar soap is more environmentally friendly because it is packaged in cardboard instead of plastic.
Although it has many advantages. But have you ever seen the process of making bar soap yourself? In general, bar soap is processed using sophisticated and hygienic machines that print automatically, and some are made manually.
Whatever the process, maintaining cleanliness in the soap making process is very important. Don't be like the series of portraits of bar soap making that briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @avtcartoon below, Monday (27/5).
