Warning #2: EVEN IF IT IS LEGAL SOAP, IT USUALLY ISN’T HONEST AND WHOLE
You can find some products which have “soap” printed on the label.
As I learned, soap is a federally regulated word. When you mix old-fashion lye and a fat together, you get soap and glycerine. The chemical equation looks like this:
Fat + Lye = Soap + Glycerine.
Guess what most factories do? Machines EXTRACT the naturally-occurring glycerine. Why? It is a natural MOISTURIZER. It is valuable.
It goes in hand lotions and it makes them more money. So you are forced to pay more money to get the glycerine back!
That legally-labeled “soap” is nearly as harsh as the fake “beauty bar” detergent junk.
READ THE LABLEL! While you’re inspecting your soap or detergent bars, look at your lotions also. The lotion has glycerine EXTRACTED from your soap. Soap or detergent bars also sometimes have glycerine listed as an ingredient - they add a small amount to make it a bit less harsh. Why didn’t they just leave it all in there to begin with?
We just leave all the NATURALLY-OCCURRING MOISTURIZER, glycerine.
I don’t have any equipment to extract glycerine to resell in lotions. Nor do I have to add glycerine to our soap. That provides your skin the complete and whole goodness.
