For dry skin, the term "superfatted" is a useful indicator, but it is not enough. Also look at the complete formula and, above all, the feeling after rinsing.
1. What does "superfatted" mean?
This term indicates that the formula contains a portion of fats that are either unprocessed or added, depending on the chosen process. The percentage can vary from one soap to another. Check the information provided by the brand.
2. Does more "superfatted" always mean better?
No. A high number does not guarantee that a soap will suit you. The entire formula, the fragrance, the essential oils, and the way you wash also count. Avoid overly simple rankings.
3. Should you choose fragrance-free?
If your skin reacts easily, a fragrance-free formula can simplify your choice. Read the complete list nonetheless: fragrance-free does not automatically mean odorless or suitable for all skin types.
4. What routine should you adopt in the shower?
Use lukewarm water, lather with your hands, and limit friction. On dry areas, a light pass is enough. Also find our tips for cleansing dry skin.
5. What if some areas remain very dry?
A soap cleanses and is then rinsed off. For very dry hands, elbows, or heels, a treatment left on the skin can complete the routine. The MÂPÔ Emergency Balm is intended for these areas.
In short
Look at the superfat content, but also the formula, the fragrance, and your comfort. A good soap for dry skin is never reduced to a single number.
