Can fats in soap be picked up by our fat cells making us fat?!


Question: Can fats in soap be picked up by our fat cells making us fat? Because when you think about it, fat cells lie right underneath the skin and when we put chemicals such as soap on our skin some of the fats contained within the soap may be picked up by our fat cells, can they not?

interesting theory, but no. Unless you were to eat it ( a lot) The fat cells are below the skin, soap cant reach it. Besides if it could, would we all have fat hands?

I never knew that soap had fat in it.
Well if it does, it's a different type of fat I'm sure.

Not unless you eat it.

But seriously, if this were the case, all the people using avocado shampoos or using body cream (all of which have some sort of oil) and such would be heavy.

Nope, they cant.
Fat is a huge HUGE molecule far too big to pass through skin...

Skin does allow somethings in and somethings out - but somethings simply wont fit.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DIDN'T KNOW SOAP HAD FAT IN IT WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS FROM????????????? PLS RETRACT THE QUESTION DOESN'T MAKE SINCE?????????????????????????????

No, thats silly. You could rub cooking oil all over your skin and not have an issue...except for gross smelling greasy skin.


Fat cells don't function using osmosis.

Uncalled for anxiety.

Eat only when hungry and not more than three times a day. Include plenty of vegetables and fruits in ur food. Eat slow, chewing each morsel at least 32 times. This activates ur body to send signals that u have enough. No snacks or drinks in between except water.

Take light exercises and walking for about 30 min every day preferably twice a day.

Be patient to see the results in hassle free mode in reasonable time.

No, I don't believe the HUGE lipid/fat molecules in the soap can penetrate into your inner fatty tissue layers. The chemicals in the soap may cause an allergic reaction that may cause a temporary bump, in this case try using another brand of soap.
