Introduction: Face Wash

Cleansing your facial skin is an important part of our daily skin care regime. Facial cleansers or face wash products are supposed to work for cleansing; repairing and protecting; hydrating and moisturizing the skin. A face wash is a facial care product that cleans the top layer of skin removing makeup, pore debris, and air pollutants that have attached themselves to the skin. It also removes dead skin cells and oil, leaving the skin with a healthy glow. Using a face wash to remove dirt is considered to be a better alternative to bar soap or another form of skin cleanser not specifically formulated for the face.

History: Evolution of Facial Cleanser from Soap

Soap making started as early as 2800 B.C. in ancient Babylon. Urns were excavated and found to contain traces of a soap-like material. Inscriptions describe a process of boiling fats with ashes. Ancient medical documents from Egypt dating from 1500 B.C. mention the rudimentary process of soap-making by combing animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts. These early soaps were used to treat skin diseases. According to Roman legend, soap was discovered after rain washed a mixture of animal fat and wood ashes down from Mount Sapo upon which animal sacrifices were made. The mixture combined with the natural clay along the river bank; it had wonderful cleaning properties. The Greek physician Galen (130200 AD) and the eighth century chemist Gabiribne Hayyan were the first to have written about the use of soap as a body-cleansing agent. In 1791, Nicholas Leblanc patented a process for making a good quality, inexpensive soda ash from common salt. The ash was to be combined with fat to produce soap. In the mid-1800s, Ernest Solvay discovered an ammonia-based process of creating soda ash from table salt.

 The chemical structure of soap was solved by Michel Eugene Chevreul in the early 1800s. He unlocked the relationship of fats, glycerine and fatty acids. In 1916, German scientists, in response to World War I rationing, discovered syndets or synthetic detergents. These soap-free chemicals cleaned without combining with mineral salts to form soap scum. Syndets paved the way for creation of facial cleansing products. In 1970s, the Dove/Unilever company introduced fats and creams into soaps and invented the concept of the beauty bar. The cosmetic world literally exploded afterwards, with other companies creating their versions of bars for facial washing purposes. Later, as more syndets were developed, more ways to add fatty acids and lipids into soapy solutions led to the rise of facial cleansers of all forms- gels, creams and liquids.
