Research has shown that the skin is a major pathway for
the absorption of toxins. These toxins can be eliminated
from the body only through healthy lifestyle choices, such
as consuming plenty of purified water and nutritious foods.
If you want to further reduce your exposure to hazardous
substances, switching to soaps with natural ingredients
could be a good idea. Say hello to Bathing Tapir, a local
brand that offers a range of vegan and biodegradable
soaps made with natural ingredients derived from plants.
No parabens, petroleum, phthalates, or other potentially
dangerous chemicals or preservatives are present in the
products. In the same manner that the critically endangered
Malayan tapir requires the utmost loving care from humans,
these products adhere to the principle of providing the
simplest and most natural approach to beauty.

Bathing Tapir’s soaps are also formulated with flowers and
natural essential oils to improve the scent and appearance
of skin. Another advantage is that these soaps can be used
on both the face and the body. Given that different essential
oils have varied benefits, select the one that best meets
your needs based on the benefits. For example, the Papaya
Essential Oil Soap is ideal for sensitive or combination skin.
Many benefits of papaya can be attributed to the high
content of vitamins A, B, and C. Its proteolytic enzymes,
such as papain and chymopapain also have antibacterial,
antifungal, and antiviral properties. These antioxidants can
help fight free radical damage, which may help your skin
remain smooth and youthful.
The Lemon Essential Oil Soap contains vitamin C and
antioxidants that may help reduce skin damage and
premature ageing. Due to its high pH levels, lemon can
also minimise oil production and inflammation on the skin.
Suitable for all skin types is the Honey Pumpkin Essential Oil
Soap. Honey can effectively lock in moisture to keep the skin
plump and glowing. Pumpkin contains enzymes that help to
naturally exfoliate skin and promote collagen production,
thus improving skin tone and elasticity. Zinc and potassium
in pumpkin are also good to reduce redness. Another
wonder product is the Grapefruit Sea Cucumber Soap.
Sea cucumber essence provides unrivalled moisturisation,
while the purifying characteristics of grapefruit leave skin
looking fresh and radiant. This soap has a combination
of skin whitening and skin nourishing properties, both of
which help to keep skin healthy and luminous. Bathing Tapir
also sells bath balls, bath salts, and shampoo bars, among
other products.
