Hello all! I am new to this group. Before I started making soap, I did a
lot of research. The reason why you do not see "soap" on all the store
brand soaps in the store is because the FDA regulated that you cannot call
your product "soap without it containing glycerin" - which is the by product
of soap. You see "moisturizing bar" or something similar on most store
bought soaps. The manufacturers are beginning to make changes based on the
customer needs and "soap" is beginning to show up on their labels. They
actually sell the glycerin separately to the cosmetic companies. (And we do
pay a higher price for it.) So, we are actually buying a detergent when we
buy soap at the store because there's no glycerin left. A well formulated
soap recipe will contain the correct amount of glycerin as well as
moisturizers.
