Time to Ditch Soap and WOSH

Show Notes

What ditch soap and WOSH?
Conventional soaps are made by mixing fat or oil with an alkali, which can alter the skin’s pH balance and upset your skin’s microbiome by wiping out healthy bacteria and eliminate vital oils. 

Understanding the ingredients of your soap, virtually unchanged for centuries, and its possible negative impact on your body are the first steps toward switching to products that enhance your skin and give it the healthy attention it deserves.

According to the FDA, there are very few true soaps on the market. Most body cleansers, both liquid and solid, are actually synthetic detergent products. Detergent cleansers are popular because they make suds easily in water and don't form gummy deposits. Some of these detergent products are actually marketed as "soap" but are not true soap according to the regulatory definition of the word. 

About WOSH
WOSH is a natural mineral bar made with Kisameet Glacial Clay which is ethically hand sourced near British Columbia’s central coast. WOSH exclusively uses Kisameet Glacial Clay in our products because of its remarkable and scientifically supported healing properties alongside its ability to support and nourish the skin’s natural microbiome. 

 

Kisameet Glacial Clay was first researched by MIT in the 1940s, ongoing extensive research continues at UBC to further support the clay’s remarkable qualities. It is now recognized by the global scientific and medical community for its unique healing properties. We invite you to read this report from the American Society for Microbiology about Kisameet Clay’s effectiveness against the ESKAPE pathogens. 

 

“More than 50 years of misuse and overuse of antibiotics has led to a plague of antibiotic resistance that threatens to reduce the efficacy of antimicrobial agents available for the treatment of infections due to resistant organisms. We report the broad-spectrum and potent antibacterial activity of Kisameet clay, a natural clay mineral from British Columbia, Canada, against a group of multidrug-resistant ESKAPE strains”.
