Glycerin is the best part of all soap with its moisturizing abilities for all skin types. Our healing soaps include jewelweed for poison ivy, witch hazel, all heal, aloe vera nettle, goldenseal, camphor clary sage and calming calamine. Our glycerin soap is molded into unique and intricate designs for perfect detail! The process of removing the glycerin from the soap is fairly complicated and of course, there are a lot of variations. In the most simplest terms, you make soap with fats and lye, and the fats already contain glycerin as part of their chemical makeup. Vegetable fats (all of our soaps are vegetable based soaps) contain from 7% to 13% glycerin. When fats and lye are blended together, soap is created and the glycerin is left out as a by-proudct, but while it is chemically separate, it is still blended in the soap mix. Some uses for glycerin include: conserving preservation of foods, herbal tinctures and other herbal preparations as well as a great addition to lotion bases.

Handmade soap contains the natural forming glycerin that is normally removed from other store bought soaps. In order to make a good hard handmade cold processed soap, the glycerin must be removed or the soap would be too soft. Companies may extract the glycerin through a variety of methods and then add a lower percentage back. ALL handmade cold process soap is glycerin soap.

Transparency does not make a glycerin soap. On average handmade soap contains 10% retained glycerin. Glycerin soap is great for sensitive and delicate skin types and especially kind to children because it is a high quality by-product.

Glycerin is also used to make clear soaps. Highly glycerinated clear soaps contain about 15% - 20% pure glycerin. Check out our beautiful 3-D Uniquely detailed bath soaps perfect to add a rope for a gift of Soap on a Rope!. Because of high glycerin content, the soaps are very moisturizing to the skin.
