How does a solid soap bar turn to foam when it is heated in a microwave?
How does a solid soap bar turn to foam when it is heated in a microwave?
I am thinking somewhere a long the line where the heat created by the microwave causes the particles in the soap to vibrate (hit each other) causing the soap to turn into foam. But how that happens is the real question. But if this is not the case, cause someone earlier mention that the effect is actually caused by the radiation wave, it would be great if someone explain more about that. THANKs in advance !
Remember that all soap contains water, both in the form of water vapor
inside trapped air bubbles (particularly important in the case of Ivory)
and water that is caught up in the matrix of the soap itself.
The effect is caused by the heating of the water that is inside the
soap. The water vaporizes, forming bubbles; the heat also causes trapped air to expand. Likewise, the heat causes the soap itself to soften and become pliable.

Eczema Care For The Inside And Out: Eczema Soap, Part 2
As we discussed in Understanding the Beast: Eczema Solutions, Part 1, eczema is a skin condition marked by severely rough patches or rashes on the skin that respond to some allergens and can be as mild as a rash or blistering, oozing lesions that crack and bleed. While allopaths have a different perception of eczema, naturopaths believe that eczema can be treated and, in fact, cured. Yes, it is true that eczema tends to run in families, but this is a symptom not a cause. This article will give the reader a perspective of what naturopaths believe about the origin of eczema and provide some insights on how to begin to heal eczema, while caring for the skin with things like eczema soap and skin conditioners.
Skin is permeable. What goes onto the skin is often absorbed by the body. Skin is, in fact, the largest organ and it is responsible for filtration. It’s a two-way system. Perspiration removes items from our bodies. When we have things in our bodies that overwhelm our system, the body will try, as a last resort to get rid of these things by pushing it through the skin. Naturopaths believe that eczema is an immune system response. We have, in our bodies and on our skin, millions of bacteria. While in balance, everything works the way it should. When something triggers and imbalance, one flora is allowed to overgrow, causing problems.
Candida is such a flora. It is present on every human being and would otherwise go unnoticed. Many things can cause Candida to grow out of control, like a diet that is too high in sugar or lacks proper nutrients or a system that has been overwhelmed by infection. When that happens, the Candida begins to grow out of control and exhibit itself in other ways, like oral thrush and tooth decay or skin lesions and eczema. Rebalancing the system in such a situation requires reintroducing good flora to counteract the bad flora, limiting sugar and simple carbs and eliminating possible irritants in such items as soap and detergents.
That is the beauty of things like eczema soap. Ideally, that soap would have no perfumes or dyes and other ingredients that would trigger any more of an allergic response, causing further irritation. In a perfect world, that soap would also contain gentle skin conditioners that would help to heal the skin while the body recovers its balance. Skin is permeable. Things don’t just stay on the surface. Soybean oil and canola oil are two ingredients that are commonly used in soaps today because of their ability to bind with lye. Both canola and soybean are cheap, but neither is recommended for people with allergies and even more contraindicated for people with eczema, as they typically cause flair ups. Other ingredients, though usually more expensive, are far better tolerated, like olive oil and coconut oil. Olive oil is very high in antioxidants. Coconut oil, additionally, contains Lauric Acid, a natural antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal.
Though detergent without perfumes and dyes and eczema soaps might be a little more expensive, they are far better tolerated by the skin. Furthermore, they give the body a chance to heal while a person begins to restore the natural balance needed for optimal health.

What is the best natural soap (the less ingredients the better) for very sensitive skin?
I have sensitive, dry, acne-prone skin and the only thing that works for me is the Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar soap. I cannot use the liquid cleanser because it contains sodium laureth sulfate which breaks me out. However, the bar soap does leave me a little dry and I was wondering if there’s an even better soap out there. The more natural, the better.
You could try goat soap. It’s made with goats milk and is supposed to be really gentle on delicate and sensitive skin.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
