The difference between body and facial soaps

At Seven Cactus, we understand that human skin is created in such a special way, there are many kinds to cater to. From oily to dry, normal or sensitive, we try to realize this situation and created soaps according to that.

Generally, all soaps offered at Seven Cactus are safe to use from head to toe. Blessed are you, if you were born with normal skin that can take almost anything. On the opposite end, there are some (like me), who are blessed with a sensitive skin that is prone to breakout. It is because of this exact reason that we chose to create body and facial soaps.

So, what makes both of them different?

The answer lies with the ingredients (especially the oils) used to make the soap. Some oils (like coconut, cocoa butter, wheatgerm and soybean) are classified as high comedogenic (will clog pores), therefore we chose not to incorporate those oils into our facial soaps. Bear in mind, that coconut oil is one of the main oils for soap making, and it is present in almost every formulation.

We take these little things seriously. Making soap for us is as easy as counting 1, 2, 3, but we don't wan't to just make soap. We try to take it one step further by understanding our ingredients and match them to a particular skin type. In other words, we try to make soap that has meanings...

.... A soap with a purpose.
