Debunking the Foam Myth: Why Bubbles Don't Mean Better Cleaning

One common misconception in skincare is the belief that foam equals cleaning power. Many of us assume that without abundant bubbles, our body or hair isn’t getting properly cleaned. But the truth is, foam is more about psychology than efficacy.

Foam is simply created when soap molecules trap air in tiny pockets, forming bubbles. While these bubbles may look satisfying, they don’t contribute to cleaning. The actual cleaning process happens due to surfactants: short for "surface-active agents." Surfactants reduce water’s surface tension, allowing it to penetrate surfaces and remove dirt. This action occurs invisibly, without any need for frothy bubbles.

The Problem with Sulphates

Many traditional body washes and shampoos rely on sulphate-based surfactants for their rich lather. However, sulphates are known for their harsh effects on skin, leaving it overly dry and irritated. For sensitive skin, the impact can include redness, brittleness, clogged pores, and even acne. Prolonged use may lead to residue buildup on the skin, disrupting its natural barrier.
