History of Soap

Did you know that soap has been around for since the ancient Babylon? The earliest record of soap started in 2800 BC, in ancient Babylon. Babylonians used water, alkali, and cassia oil as ingredients for their soap. In 1550, in Egypt, history shows that Egyptian used a combination of animal and vegetable oils with an alkaline salt to form their soap. The soap comes from the word sapo, Latin for soap.

Results and Fivesso's Crowdfunding

Let’s check out the results of the previous study we mention early this week. This study was conducted in Berlin, Germany.

Researchers tested topical caffeinated application in two ways, in vitro (test in a test tube) and in vivo (within living organism). Results were then compared. They first test the hair follicles unblocked, and they blocked the hair follicles with a varnish wax mixture. Results showed that both methods revealed similar results, as well as, significant differences. One similarity was that caffeine was detected within minutes of the topical application. Skin tissue from the breast area was collected from plastic surgery, for this experiment. A difference was during in vitro testing, caffeine was detected 2 hours after the topical application was applied. If you are interested, in finding out more on the results check out our source below.

Caffeine Absorption through the Skin Part 2

Let’s check out one more thing before we go over the results of the study mentioned in our previous blog post. Previous research also shows that after applying a caffeinated topical substance on our skin, caffeine was already detected after 5 minutes of the application.

In another study conduct by the British Pharmacological Society, with six healthy male participants, a topical caffeine application was applied to their chest area, and blood samples were taken to measure the level of caffeine in the chest area. The study was performed by blocking and unblocking hair follicles in the chest area. Topical caffeine application was first applied to the unblocked hair follicles. Samples were taken over the next 72 hours, and then after three days of being caffeine free, they were able to re-apply the topical caffeine application to the same area. But this time, they blocked the hair follicles by using a varnish-wax mixture. Results showed that the absorption of caffeine through hair follicles was faster that when caffeine was absorbed thru the first layer of the skin (stratum corneum). The absorption through the first skin layers results was shown by blocking the hair follicles with the varnish-wax mixture. It took caffeine one hour to reach the maximum absorption through the hair follicles. When the hair follicles were blocked, it took over five hours for caffeine to reach its maximum absorption.

Fascinating! Check out the results of the most recent studied in next week’s blog!

Caffeine Absorption through the Skin

We’ve been talking about the benefits of coffee when you consume it but with Fivesso organic soap, our premium coffee soap bar allows caffeine to absorb through your skin. Around the beginning of 2000, coffee beans started to be used in other ways besides consumption. The caffeine in coffee made its way into cosmetic lines, taking advantage of caffeine’s benefits for your skin.

Besides consumption how else can caffeine get into your system? Recent researched shows that hair follicles in your body can quickly deliver caffeine into your system! Before we get into this study results, let’s see what we already know about how topical application, such as soaps, serums, and creams can get into your system thru your skin. It wasn’t until recent that scientist's opinion on how caffeine penetrating thru the skin was changed. Previous studies showed that due to your skin being composed of many layers, it would actually be difficult for any caffeine to actually go deep into the skin's layers and into your system. There are a couple of ways that topical application of caffeine can go into your system thru your skin. Caffeine can go in through our sweat glands, along your lipid (fat) layers, and through your hair follicles.

In this study, they will talk about how through your hair follicles caffeine can easily gain access to your system. Find our more on this study in our next blog!

Caffeine and Memory

Did you know that caffeine can help enhance certain memories up to at least 24 hours? A study conducted at John Hopkins University showed that caffeine was able to enhance long-term memories, for up to at least 24 hours after consumption.

Caffeine can help strengthen memory, and it can also help make your memories resistant to forgetfulness for at least 24 hours. The studied was a double-blinded trial. Participants for this study were not regular coffee drinkers nor did they eat eatables containing caffeine. Samples of their caffeine levels were taken before and in three other time periods throughout this study. Participants were given either a placebo or a 200-millgram caffeine tablet after studying a series of images. They came back 24 hours after to test their memories on the images. Participants in the caffeine group scored higher in correctly identifying the images than those who took the placebo. These results were different from other previous studies on caffeine and memory. The major difference was that this study presented the images after giving the participants either the placebo or the caffeinated tablet.

Caffeine doesn’t just enhance your long-term memory briefly, it can also help with the risk of Alzheimer’s. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June.

Coffee and Metabolism

Did you know that coffee can help with your digestive system? That's right - for those who drink they have experienced this benefit. Coffee not only helps your digestive system, it can also help increase your metabolism.

How does coffee increase your metabolism? Coffee is a stimulant that can help increase your metabolism. Coffee sends signals to your fatty cells and ordering them to break down the fat around your fatty tissues. Epinephrine is a hormone that helps deliver the breakdown of fats “message” throughout your body. Epinephrine travels thru our blood streams and sends signals to break down the fats. By performing these two activities, coffee can help decrease the fat from your fatty tissues.

Coffee also contains an active compound that can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates in your body.

Check out of next blog for more benefits of coffee. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June and our pre-order date in August.
