As mentioned in February’s article, Vita-Myr makes other products outside toothpaste and mouthwash. For those dealing with tough skin problems such as dryness or sensitivity, Vita-Myr’s natural soaps are big blessing for those with sensitive, irritated, or “problem” skin. Crafted with oils, essential oils, including the namesake Myrrh, each variety is quietly fragrant, softly lathery, highly cleansing, yet nourishing and calming too. If you’re dealing with harsh skin problems, it can definitely make a major difference.
Put To The Test: A Sjogrens Patient Experience
After we discovered and loved Vita-Myr’s soap, we gave a bar to a loved one dealing with Sjogrens syndrome- a disease which destroys the bodies ability to keep itself moisturized. At the time, her hands had become painfully red, splotchy and felt like they were burning. Nothing would relieve the sting that constantly barraged her hands, until the day we gave her Vita-Myr’s soap.
With only ONE use, the Rose Geranium soap stopped the pain and the redness instantly vanished. “It was a miracle” she said to me later. She’d tried all manner of lotions and OTC products, but nothing had helped. With Vita-Myr, the suffering was quenched with a single hand wash.
Even the mainstream soaps marketed for dry skin are still drying for a Sjogrens patient. So this discovery was major.
Why is Vita-Myr Better Than Other “Moisturizing” Soaps?
So many reasons.
The knowledgeable makers of Vita-Myr explain it so well on their website, I’d like to quote it (click here to read their source article):
“Several of the cleansing bars that you buy at the store, for example, are detergents-and not soaps at all. They are called syndet bars, or synthetic detergent bars. They are made from synthesized chemicals and are usually much harsher than soap. Detergents contain petroleum distillates rather than oil. On the other hand, true soap is made from natural oils (such as olive, coconut and palm) and is a gentle cleansing product more appropriate for use on skin than is detergent.” (-From the Vita-Myr Website)
No wonder! Since then, I’ve used many of the flavors (Milk & Honey, Wake Up, Myrrh and Cloves etc.) when they went on close-out at our local store. I noticed, as the Sjogren’s patient noticed, they’re all particularly good as an anti-inflammatory.
Supporting American Soapmakers
Vita-Myr is a good example of how good, natural USA made products are possible, and actually better than “typical” products grocery stores offer.
While there area lot of GREAT natural American made soaps out using quality oils and healing plant extracts that we enjoy and support on a daily basis, I haven’t tried one that’s as good for irritations and skin inflammation as Vita-Myr. It’s definitely become our go-to for that.
I was REALLY disappointed when our natural food store stopped carrying the soap, as it’s pricey online. But we still try to keep a bar on hand as a “first aid” item.
Of course, there’s so many companies we haven’t tried or found yet, so let us know in the comments if you have a favorite! We’d love to hear about it.
