Is sulfur soap toxic?

Sulfur soap is non-toxic, even when heated, but using sulfur soap to wash your face can easily cause damage to your skin. Sulfur soap cannot be used every day or for a long time. If used for a long time, the following skin problems may occur:

1. Skin dehydration

Sulfur soap is an alkaline soap and is irritating to the skin. The skin is generally in a state of acid-base balance. If too much sulfur soap is used, the skin will become weakly acidic and dehydrated. Mildly dehydrated skin will become dry and dark yellow, moderately dehydrated skin will develop spots and fine lines; severely dehydrated skin will become dehydrated and sensitive, making it painful to apply skin care products.

It is best to use sulfur soap once every three days. It is more suitable for oily skin. It should never be used for dry skin as it will become drier the more you use it. After using sulfur soap, be sure to apply a moisturizing product immediately.

2. The stratum corneum becomes thinner

After all, sulfur soap is an alkaline soap. Long-term use will damage the stratum corneum on human skin and make the skin sensitive. Sulfur soap has a certain corrosive effect on human skin.
