Did you Know that Most retail stores do not sell real soap because it is not available to them. Today’s commercial “soap” manufacturers begin the process of making soap with inexpensive fatty acids instead of using whole natural oils. The fatty acids do not yield a high glycerin content. Fatty acids are extracted from whole oil and the valuable glycerin remains to be sold separately to other entities. Glycerin (glycerol) is a valuable commodity; it is altered and processed into industrial lubricants, industrial solvents, and nitroglycerin for dynamite, explosives, and to dilate blood vessels. Handmade soaps made from whole oils yield real soap that is rich in luxurious natural glycerin. Often additives, fillers, “lathering agents,” preservatives, colorants, and chemicals are added by commercial “soap” manufacturers. Many people find these additives drying and irritating, especially without the natural emollience of the missing glycerin to counteract the additives’ harshness. Furthermore, heavy scents and synthetic fragrances are added to commercial bars to mask the odors of these harsh additives. The resulting bars of detergent are sold to retailers as “cleansing bars.” Therefore, few bar cleansers are real soap, which is rich in natural glycerin. Hence, most commercial manufacturers do not make real soap and so it is not available to retailers.
