Cor, de duurste zeep ter wereld

Goh, niet verwacht dat er ook al 'zeepjes' van 125 dollar bestaan. En dat zoiets dan ook nog Plank heet. Er zit onder meer zilver en collageen in plus nog wat huidverzachters en hydratanten. Zijn ze nu helemaal van god los of betekent het werkelijk wat? Lees verder!

 

Dit is wat de producent over zijn eigen goedje vertelt:

Silver is fast emerging as one of the best antibacterial agents. Silver blocks the bacteria’s ability to transfer oxygen through its cell walls. Silver also has healing properties and has been used by doctor’s and in hospitals to speed the growth of cell repair.

Silica prepares the skin to accept the ingredients of Cor. The porous nature of Silica draws the Silver and all of Cor’s soap active natural ingredients into its particles so that it can deeply nourish the skin.

Collagen starts to disappear at the rate of 1.5% per year in adulthood. Cor’s soap contains a combination of four different types of collagen, including Marine Collagen from France. With Cor’s unique distribution method collagen is distributed to effectively rejuvenate one’s face.

Chitosan is a natural fibre that acts to even out skin tone. Used in the dieting industry, it also can absorb 4-6 times its weight in fat and so washes away the unwanted oils. Cor’s soap balances out the skin’s oil levels, especially in trouble areas like the T zone.

Sericin is a natural, soluble protein made from silk. Highly moisture-binding and film-forming, Sericin imparts a unique and highly aesthetic skin feel. Sericin’s film forming abilities enables Cor to help protect the skin against the harsh effects of the sun.

En dit is wat experts (the beautybrains) uit de cosmetica industrie erover te zeggen hebben:


Cor’s Silver Bullet?

The antimicrobial properties of silver are well documented (it works by denaturing the sulfide bonds in bacterial proteins, according to at least one theory.) However, these properties are more relevant to wound care than skin cleansing. As we recently blogged, you don’t need to use antibacterial soaps because regular soap does a fine job as long as you wash properly.

Collagen can’t cut it

Collagen is an important structural protein that gives the deeper layers of your skin structure. Since it’s a very large molecule, collagen can’t penetrate the skin from the outside. So a soap or skin lotion with collagen does nothing to replenish the skin’s native collagen.

Chitosan is questionable

Chitosan is an effective film former and can be part of an effective moisturizing lotion formula.  But at best it’s questionable that it can do anything to to “balance out oil.” At worst, chitosan can’t be delivered from a rinse of product so it won’t do anything from this soap.

Silk is not sun safe

Sericin is not an effective UV absorber. Protein molecules just don’t work that way. Secondly, since this is a rinse off product, there are very few sunscreen ingredients that can be delivered from a rinse off product. (See our previous post on Freeze 24/7 for an example of a rinse off sunscreen that really works.

Conclusion:

The ingredients used in Cor do not justify its high price tag. Furthermore, some of their supposed benefits (like fading sun spots and providing UV protection) border on being drug claims yet their not using active ingredients that will deliver those benefits. But if you’re determined to throw your money away, you can get a sample of Cor soap for mere $12.

Ohja, er wordt ook nog gebruik gemaakt van nano-technologie. Lees hier, wat ik daarover te zeggen heb.
