How to choose Naturally Antibacterial Products for Home Cleaning and Skincare

Naturally Antibacterial



Our full range of French Soap is made traditionally and authentically with most products containing at least 96% natural origin ingredients, most are actually higher than this.

 

We have some products that contain ‘parfum’ and other than contain ‘essential oils’, some with neither.

 

Proper French soap, the products and brands we buy, is made with plant based oils. The natural properties of these are critical to them being so renowned.

 

Antibacterial Ingredients:

Olive Oil: Pure Olive Oil has been proven in countless research studies to contain polyphenols which are natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Unlike topical antibiotics which wipe out bacteria, Olive Oil is proven to decrease and inhibit the growth or bacteria on the skin and therefore is great to use daily from a preventative perspective.

 

Coconut Oil: Coconut Oil is high in Lauric-acid. Lauric-acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that fights the growth of harmful microorganisms and is considered anti-microborial. It is regularly recommended for naturally treating athletes foot and acne and other skin conditions that evolve from fungal infections and bacteria. On top of this coconut oil is know to clean, soothe and help heal wounds.

 

Sweet Almond Oil: Sweet Almond Oil is also naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Renowned and proven for treating all sorts of fungal infections it is a great all round oil for soothing redness, treating irritated skin and healing infections whilst keeping a healthy skin biom.

 

Essential Oils: Many people are sensitive to essential oils, for many others they are superb at treating sensitive skin, so I can’t comment specifically if these are suitable for you, however the properties in many essential oils give enhanced anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties to the plain hypoallergenic plant oils above.

 

Lavender Essential Oil, Cinnamon Essential Oil, Clove Essential Oil, Lemongrass Essential Oil (Citronella), Mint Essential Oil, Thyme Essential Oil, Geranium Essential Oil are all high in antibacterial properties of one sort or another. I can go into more detail if you want.

 

Top Choices for Naturally Anti-bacterial Products

Soaps for Hands and Body

The range of Liquid Soaps from Fer a Cheval are a great starting point. The first two you will see in the collection are the most natural, the ones with coloured labels contain ‘parfum’ however they are all made with the plant oils above and minimal ingredients.

 

The bar soaps from Berthe Guilhem are super quality soaps. There are three without essential oils, and the rest contain essential oils alongside Organic Goats Milk (which is really soothing and gentle and perfect for sensitive skin), Sweet Almond Oil and Coconut Oil, slightly different in each but the ingredients are all listed.

 

Also consider the very traditional big chunky Lavender Cube from La Corvette made with two types of Lavender Essential Oil.
