Whitening Craze: Chlorine soap hits the Thai market

[fred Kubasa]

Okay for Thais but every foreigner I know, including me, prize the ladies

normal bronze color !

While I think their natural skin colour is much more beautiful than being messed with chemicals, from a chemistry point of view this is very misleading. Chlorine is a gas. Calcium Hypochlorite becomes Hypochlorous acid when introduced to water, and does not produce chlorine. This is no different than swimming in a pool that has 'pool shock' introduced, and is anti-microbial. The packaging for the soap should be illegal though, as it doesn't represent the content.

It's a bit like table salt being Sodium Chloride, but if you asked someone to eat Sodium metal and breath Chlorine, people would think you're insane. Subtle molecular differences of clusters of atoms can be very very different in their behaviour.

/sarcasm on:

Are you saying that the packaging on the CLORINR SAOP is misleading?

After snorting the product, the Papuan monitor lizard did assure me that I could call him Salvador. Then, everything turned white and I passed out.

/sarcasm off.

>>I cannot understand why Thai girls with a beautiful brown complexion can possibly think they are more attractive walking around looking like Coco the clown.<<

To say nothing of the too-obvious fake tits and bad nose jobs which seem all-too-prevalent.

Found a nice pic of that soap:- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4smSxsyymno/VXKePRxpMkI/AAAAAAAACeM/1IyndG6QYE4/s1600/clorinr.jpg

CHLORINR SAOP?

"Wash your hand of unsuitable pal: I'm a Papuan monitor lizard Varanus Salvadori: But you can call me Salvador." Buy now, the packaging is priceless!

Actually it's not "unsuitable," it's "unsustainable"!

I have contact with Thai FDA on a regular base, and every time, I need to hear and see how incompetent they are and have no clue about food safety and health, the are just uniformed public servants in a corrupt system.

[Tiger55]

Ask Michael Jackson how his attempts at whitening his skin when.

You can't really ask him. He's not around anymore.

[Thai at Heart]

Does the FDA do anything in Thailand?

[Skywalker69]

Ask Michael Jackson how his attempts at whitening his skin when.

Can´t be done, he is dead you know.

Is Thailand stuck in a 1980's Wayne's World time warp?

Attention, attention: Skin cancer can travel to other organs, including your brain. And kill you.

Party on, Garth.

Maybe get a Chameleon next, as they can change their own skin colour?

[mikebell]

It's as daft as whitening deodorant and Thais fall for that one. Brown face; white arm-pits!

[geriatrickid]

I suppose it is irresponsible if I laugh, but this is such a pathetic situation.

Great pic., it must be wonderful to be white......face, armpits, little brown(white) starfish, genitalia, arms, legs etc etc! Why not swim in a public pool for a few hours every day??

[easybullet3]

"Potentially damage your eyes" ???

thats the LEAST of the problems!!
it makes the chlorine soap sound 'not so threatening'.what girl is gonna care about a potential eye damage. (they will just keep it away from their eyes).

the real damage is to the skin and health.

chlorine poses a real cancer risk and organ damage among other things.

I hope the white ghost face with big black tattoo eyebrows look doesnt last too long, I dont find it attractive at all

I think all Thai ladies know this. It just goes to show how little the opinion of foreigners matter.

I'm glad you didn't mention her chin. Oooops

[Thongkorn]

I suppose its akin to Western women having umpteen Sun tans on a sunbed.

[khounteen]

I wonder what happens to the jim if some of the soap gets in?
