Vegesorb Versus Sorbolene

Sorbolenes may appear to be great value-for-money however many consumers do not realise the majority of sorbolenes are made from petrochemical by-products, such as mineral oils and paraffin, and are designed to act as barrier creams not moisturisers.

Experts believe prolonged use of sorbolene may lead to the break-down of the skin’s normal barrier functions. Over time, the skin is unable to protect itself against the environment, which may lead to irritation and recurring problems.

Vegesorb compared to traditional sorbolene

Many have found by changing from ordinary sorbolenes to a Vegesorb cleanser, their dry skin “condition” has been improved simply by providing adequate hydration.

This is because the vegetable oils in Vegesorb are more easily absorbed into the skin than mineral oils due to the smaller molecular size of vegetable oils and the fact they don’t repel water as strongly as mineral oils.
