pH Balance
The pH level of a cleansing bar is an important factor in maintaining healthy skin. The skin's natural pH is typically between 4.7 and 5.75, making it slightly acidic. Ordinary cleansing bar tends to be alkaline (with a higher pH), which can disrupt the skin's natural pH balance, leading to dryness and irritation. Harp’s pH-balanced soaps are formulated to be closer to the skin's natural pH, helping to preserve the skin’s acid mantle and prevent these issues.


Exceptionally Gently Cleansing
Harp synthetic cleansers are designed to be gentler on the skin compared to traditional cleansing bar. They can provide effective cleaning while being less likely to cause irritation or strip away the natural oils of the skin. This makes them suitable for people with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.


Moisturizing Properties
Shea butter is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, and it's known for its excellent moisturizing and emollient properties. When included in cleansing bar, shea butter can help to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. It is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, which are antioxidants that protect and rejuvenate the skin.


Anti-inflammatory Benefits
Shea butter has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin. This can be especially beneficial for those with inflammatory skin conditions or general skin sensitivities.


Rich Lather
Harp’s daily cleansers are formulated to produce an incredibly rich and creamy lather that provides a luxurious feel during cleansing without the use of traditional saponified fats that may be harsher on the skin.


Less Soap Scum
Harp daily cleansers can reduce the formation of cleansing bar scum, which is the residue left behind by traditional cleansing bars in hard water. This means a cleaner bathing experience and less cleaning of the shower or tub.


Non-Comedogenic
Many synthetic cleansers are non-comedogenic, meaning they do not clog pores. This is particularly important for individuals prone to acne or who have oily skin types.
"It’s important to note that while these benefits are significant, the suitability of any cleansing bar can vary depending on individual skin types and sensitivities. Some people may prefer or respond better to natural cleansing bar or other formulations, so it often comes down to personal preference and how one's skin reacts to different ingredients. Always consider consulting with a dermatologist if you have specific concerns about your skin and the products you use."
