Question 1

This says "free of sulfates," yet i see sodium laureth sulfate (clearly a sulfate) in the ingredients in the picture. is this sulfate-free or not?

Accepted Answer

Mark

I purchased the shaving soap and not the shower gel. However, since I have a background in chemistry as part of my chemical engineering training, I tried to check into this. I do not see any reference to "free of sulfates" on the Pre de Province web site; this might be something added by the reseller. Normally, sulfates are not an issue. Some people are sensitive to sulfites that are used as a preservative in many products, including wines.  Thus, products are sometimes labeled "free of sulfites", but the term "free of sulfates" would be unusual. Most  people do not understand the chemical difference between sulfites and sulfates, so I suspect they meant sulfite free.  Obviously the shower get does contain sulfates, but not sulfites.

Sodium laureth sulfate, a shortened form of sodium lauryl ether sulfate,  is a very common anionic detergent and  surfactant that is found in many different liquid hand soaps, shampoos, shower gels, household cleaning products, and even toothpaste.  It is an inexpensive cleansing agent and foaming agent. That is why it is so commonly used.

Any detergent, including sodium laureth sulfate,  can be an irritant to sensitive skin, especially the membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth. That is why babies cry when shampoo gets in their eyes. For most people, when used according to directions, sodium laureth sulfate does not pose a health issue. However, if you have a known sensitivity to sodium laureth sulfate or any other ingredient in the shower gel, you should avoid it.

Question 2

does anyone feel like this soap interferes with cologne?

Accepted Answer

Though masculine in scent, the projection is quite mild, and should dissipate in about half an hour and should not interfere with any cologne you choose to wear.

Question 3

I typed in my search bar “men’s pheromone soap” and this came up. but is it though? i don’t see where it outright says that this is a “pheromone soap”

Accepted Answer

It's just men's soap, the search engine just latched on to the two phrases it recognized.

Question 4

Does the body wash have a pop-up or screw-on lid?
