KARE :: Frequently Asked Questions
Every bar of soap made, whether commercial or homemade, has gone through a chemical process called saponification. This process takes place when a fat or oil reacts with an alkali. The alkali used is sodium hydroxide (lye). When this reaction takes place, glycerin is formed naturally, and the resulting bar is changed from lye and fat to soap. The lye is no longer active, and the glycerin is left in our soap to obtain a more moisturizing bar.
