Savon de Mer Fresh & Salt Water Shampoo & Body Gel
8.5 oz | 250 ml
Great for a saltwater soapie, or for soaking your wetsuit, or swimwear. It just works great. Made in Germany.
Savon de Mer is a Fresh & Salt Water Shampoo & Body Gel developed to be used in saltwater. It is effective in saltwater for shampooing, showering, and bathing. Made with special emollients to counteract the drying effects of the salt and sun on your hair and skin, it will leave you feeling fresh and clean like you cleansed in freshwater.
Savon de Mer does not contain soap as such. Soap is made from fats, oils, and caustic soda. Soap works well in soft, fresh water, but not in water containing any quantities of mineral salts (hard water). The disadvantages of ordinary shampoo and soap are that they will not produce the rich lather foam needed to properly wash away dirt particles and salt residues, and they leave annoying curds and residues that will not rinse away. Savon de Mer contains special emollients which penetrate hair and skin to give long-lasting protection against the parching effect of salt and sun. Towel-dried, skin feels fresh, hair is left tangle-free and full of bounce. It is biodegradable and pH7 – Neutral.
