The fundamental difference between scented and unscented soap lies in the presence of fragrances. Scented soap bars contain added fragrances to give them a pleasant scent, while unscented soap bars are free from any added fragrances.
The scents in soap are typically added during the soap-making process and can be either natural or synthetic. Natural fragrances are derived from plant extracts or essential oils, while synthetic fragrances are created using chemicals.
Some soap makers use a combination of both to create unique and long-lasting scents. The amount of fragrance added to soap can vary, depending on the desired strength of the scent. It's important to choose soap bars made from natural fragrances and to read the ingredients list carefully to avoid any potential allergic reactions or harmful chemicals.
Scented soap bars come in a wide range of fragrances, Sandalwood, Rose Geranium, Juniper and more, making it easy to find a soap bar that suits you! Scented soap can help to relax and uplift your mood. Additionally, the fragrance in scented soap can linger on the skin after use, giving you a pleasant scent that can last for hours.
However, scented soap also has its downsides, as the added fragrances can cause irritation and allergic reactions for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It's important to choose soap bars using natural fragrances and to read the ingredients list to avoid any potential skin irritants.
At The Little Goat Soap Company, we only use essential oils to give our soaps their wonderful aromas and avoid any harsh synthetic chemicals.
Unscented soap bars are free from any added fragrances, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies such as psoriasis, eczema or dermatitis. Unscented soap bars can help irritated or dry skin, as they do not contain any potentially harmful fragrances or chemicals that could cause adverse reactions.
Unscented soap can be a good option for those who work in sensitive environments, as it won't interfere with the scents and fragrances of their workplace. However, unscented soap may not provide the same experience as scented soap, as it lacks in the pleasant fragrances that they enjoy in their daily routine.
