Why Your Dry Skin NEEDS a Paraben-Free, Gentle Body Wash (Not Bar Soap)
Share
If your skin feels tight after showers, your cleanser might be stripping your barrier. Harsh surfactants raise TEWL (water loss), causing itch, flakes, and sensitivity. Dermatology literature supports milder surfactant systems and lipid-respecting cleansers to prevent barrier damage—especially for dry and eczema-prone skin.
Parabens: what’s the deal?
Parabens are common preservatives. Overall safety assessments suggest typical single-product use is low-risk, but there’s ongoing debate and some users experience irritation/allergy, so many consumers prefer paraben-free, especially on compromised or sensitive skin. Choose what your skin tolerates best!
