FAQs

Is lavender soap suitable for children?
+

Please confirm age guidance from current packaging. Lavender is one of the most broadly appropriate botanical ingredients for use across all ages, and lavender glycerin soap is generally considered suitable for children's hand and body washing. For very young infants, plain, unscented soap or specifically formulated baby products are typically recommended. For school-age children and above, a gentle lavender glycerin soap is an appropriate and pleasant daily cleansing option.

Can this soap help with hand hygiene?
+

Yes — regular hand washing with soap and water remains the most effective method of reducing the transmission of common bacteria and viruses, regardless of the soap's specific botanical additions. Lavender's mild antiseptic properties provide a modest additional antimicrobial contribution to the cleansing process, though the primary mechanism of hand hygiene benefit is the physical act of washing and lathering with any soap. The enjoyable aromatherapy character of lavender soap may also encourage more consistent and thorough hand washing — the practical hygiene benefit of a soap you want to use more is meaningful.

How does the lavender glycerin soap compare to the chamomile version?
+

Both are 125g glycerin soap bars with botanical additions — the glycerin base and skin-conditioning character are the same across the range. The distinguishing factor is the botanical addition and its aromatic and therapeutic character. The chamomile version is most appropriate for sensitive, reactive skin requiring the gentlest possible cleansing and anti-inflammatory soothing. The lavender version is most appropriate for those who want the calming, antiseptic aromatic character of lavender in their daily cleansing — particularly well suited to evening use and pre-sleep routines. Both are gentle and appropriate for sensitive skin; the choice is primarily one of aromatic preference and the specific skin and sensory needs of the user.

Will this soap dry out my hands if used frequently for hand washing?
+

Less so than conventional soap — the glycerin's humectant action significantly reduces the drying effect of frequent hand washing compared to standard soap bars. However, even glycerin soap removes some natural skin oils with each wash, and frequent hand washing of any kind contributes to the progressive dryness that most people experience over a working day. Using a hand cream after each wash is the most effective approach for maintaining hand comfort with frequent washing — please see the Amphora hand cream range for complementary products.
