The Science
Eucalyptus Oil is also a known natural anti-viral botanical. Defense Soap also helps to keep the healthy skin flora in balance because it contains no harsh chemicals such as Triclosan, alcohol or other antibacterial chemicals. These chemicals end up destroying all skin bacteria including the beneficial bacteria that are an integral part of the skin’s natural immune system.
Defense Soap Active Natural Ingredients:
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil
Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that is known t to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's antimicrobial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to facial lesions has been thought to kill the skin-dwelling bacteria that are involved in causing lesions and acne vugaris.
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil has anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities as a topically applied ingredient. Eucalyptus oil is used in personal hygiene products for antimicrobial properties in dental care and soaps. Eucalyptus oil is recognized by The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) which is the official compendium for Homeopathic Drugs in the U.S. HPUS is recognized and monitored by the FDA.
