No More Soap Scum!
I really can't say enough positive things about the Nutribiotic Shower Gel. I agree with others who say it does everything it's supposed to do and leaves your skin clean without drying it out. I even use it on my face with my Clarisonic brush (I never thought I'd be saying THAT)! One of the best things about this product, not often mentioned, is that there's no more soap scum since this is a non-soap product (i.e., a "detergent"). Really. Soap scum is a thing of the past. People don't realize that not only is soap scum difficult to clean, etc. but it is also unhygienic because certain bacteria actually feed on it. Have you ever seen the reddish pink/orange stuff sometimes found in toilet bowls or in (strangely enough) newly constructed, remodeled, or unclean bathrooms? It's called Serratia Marcescens and, while not necessarily harmful, it's gross and terribly unhygienic in my opinion. My husband spotted it in our shower after we had our bathroom remodeled and I was horrified because I immediately knew what it was. Serratia Marcescens live in warm, moist environments and feed off of, among other things, soap scum, which is a byproduct of ALL soaps. Soap scum is the residue which forms after soap is added to hard water plus dead skin cells. After an inordinate amount of research I discovered this little known fact and learned a lot about soap and saponification and the difference between soaps and detergents in the process. Since the Nutribiotic Shower Gel is a non-soap product, there is no scum and hence less for the bacteria to feed on. Unfortunately Serratia Marcescens can never be completely eradicated once they've established themselves but this product, coupled with bleach-containing cleaners, has made a tremendous difference in our bathroom.
