About GlycerinGlycerin is a fat by-product of the soap making process that is removed for use in skin creams or other cleaning items, & it is also used to make glycerin soap. These bars are translucent (meaning you can see through them) and come in a variety of colors and fragrances.
Glycerin soap is gentler on skin than most soaps, making it a good choice for people who have particularly dry or sensitive skin. Glycerin soap also has a lower pH than other soaps, which helps the skin retain its natural moisture. Since glycerin is hygroscopic, it may also help moisturize the skin by attracting water from the air, causing it to stay softer.
Glycerin soaps are considered hypoallergenic, meaning that they are less likely to cause allergies in most people. However, even hypoallergenic soaps can still cause reactions in some people, especially if the glycerin soap contains other additives, such as fragrances, which may cause irritation. Because additives vary from brand to brand, some people may find that they have allergic reactions to some types of glycerin soap, but not others.
