What is glycerin and why is it important?


Glycerin is a natural skin humectant, which means that it attracts and retains moisture on your skin; it is like a natural skin lotion in the soap.  Glycerin is retained in handcrafted soap, opposed to commercial soap, in which the glycerin is extracted and sold to industries where it is used in pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and other products.  By retaining the glycerin in handcrafted soap the consumer gets a mild, pure soap that gently cleanses the skin without irritating or drying.
