Moms, you must have already known that Zen Antibacterial Body Soap contains Red Shiso leaves, right? Red Shiso or Perilla frutescens is a plant native to East Asia that has the potential as a powerful natural antibacterial agent.

In Japanese culture, Red Shiso has been used as a food preservative due to its effective antibacterial properties. This leaf contains active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils that play a role in antimicrobial activity. These compounds help combat the growth and development of pathogenic bacteria, thus preventing food spoilage and maintaining cleanliness and freshness.

Moreover, Red Shiso also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can lead to various diseases, including severe bacterial infections. By consuming Red Shiso leaves or using their extracts, we can obtain anti-inflammatory benefits that help strengthen the immune system and fight infections.

Not only used in food, but Red Shiso leaves are also often used in traditional Japanese medicine to treat respiratory disorders, digestive problems, and skin issues. The natural antibacterial content in these leaves provides beneficial antimicrobial effects in traditional treatments. Therefore, the presence of Red Shiso in Zen soap makes it a suitable choice for Moms as an antibacterial soap at home, as it is effective against germs and does not dry out the skin.
