So... what is non-glycerin soap? What ingredient is the replacement?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.166.44 (talk • contribs)

Glycerin is a by-product created during the soap making process. Usually the glycerin remains combined with the soap, but it's possible to extract it. Because glycerin has many uses (for instance it is widely used in skin-care products), it is more profitable for mass producers of soap to extract it from the soap for use in some other product, than to leave it in the soap-bars.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.101.64.26 (talk • contribs)

In the sentence ".....dissolved in a high-alcohol until the mixture.." what is "High Alcohol?" Is it meant to read something like "..a high alcohol mixture.."? I did a search for "High-Alcohol" but was unable to find a definition. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this. 152.130.7.129 (talk)218.100.88.22 —Preceding undated comment was added at 10:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Is the picture some advert for Pears or something? Not very neutral? 165.146.122.193 (talk) 22:28, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So is there still Lye in glycerin soap? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.68.170.130 (talk) 19:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There shouldn't be, and this applies to soaps in general. Lye should be added in a quantity that reacts with all or almost all of the oils. Soapmakers should always check for excess lye before distributing their soap. If they messed up the recipe and didn't test afterwards, there could be leftover unreacted lye, but that would be considered a defective product. -- Phyzome (talk) 15:13, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
