It has a bad reputation among natural cosmetics advocates but cosmetic scientists and toxicology experts do not agree (read more in the geeky details section) Galactoarabinan is a natural polysaccharide (a bigcarbohydrate molecule) that comes from theLarch trees.According to the manufacturer it can do all kinds of good in a formula:

Galactoarabinan is a natural polysaccharide (a bigcarbohydrate molecule) that comes from theLarch trees. If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the phenomenon called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again.To sum things up, I learned a few interesting things from writing this post and asking my dad about the formula change: The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. to test is a bar is suitable for dry skin, try washing your hands with it and letting your hands air dry, and then waiting to see if they feel moisturized. If they do, it’s suitable for dry skin.

Dear Emily, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is one of the mildest soap surfactant available for making soap, shampoo, body wash or other cleansing applications. I asked my dad to speculate about what ingredients in the new formula might be causing irritation for some people. Here’s what he said: Maybe it’s because it’s formulated for dry/sensitive skin, but it doesn’t seem like Aveeno Moisturizing Bar for Dry Skin is strong enough to remove physical sunscreen by itself—you’ll need to rub your skin pretty vigorously if you want to remove any lotion or sunscreen that contains waxes or oils. This makes it somewhat of an ineffective body soap for people who tend to use those types of products. Since I initially bought this soap with hopes that it could replace my travel-size face soap, but it ended up irritating my facial skin, I probably won’t be repurchasing this soap. Takeaways from this post I like that it is fragrance-free and that it contains oat flour, which is supposed to be soothing for eczema. It also foams up pretty decently, but isn’t overly foamy (which can be drying). It’s fragrance-free in the sense that it doesn’t contain any added fragrances, but it’s not fragrance-free in the sense that it doesn’t have any odor at all. It has an odor that some people might fine unappealing; I don’t find it that horrible, since I would much rather smell the natural odor of the functional ingredients in a soap than have to put up with a scent that’s based on floral or overly synthetic fragrances.
