Handmade soap contains the natural forming glycerin that is normally removed from other store bought soaps. In order to make the extremely hard french milled soaps, the glycerin must be removed or the soap would be too soft. Companies may extract the glycerin through a variety of methods and then add a percentage back to say it contains glycerin. We believe that ALL handmade cold process soap is "glycerin soap". Not simply the clear transparent soap with added glycerin.

What is Glycerin Dew?

Ask Freesia Girl!! - Serenquility Bath & Body FAQ
On warm and humid days or in places where a lot of moisture is present sometimes you might see a crystal "dew" or "sweating" on your glycerin soaps. This is normal and is a natural process of glycerin soap. The glycerin in the soap actually pulls moisture out of the air, making for a soap that is not drying to the skin and does not affect the quality of the soap in any way. Washing with the soap removes the surface dew.

No. With the exception of the short-lived 100% glycerin soaps, all your commercial soap producers extract the glycerin in the manufacture process and sell it as a byproduct to the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or other industries. Then they'll add an emollient or vitamin E or whatever and say theirs' is enriched. They would have been better off if they'd just left the glycerin in the soap.

We're sorry to have to break the news to you, but there is no such thing. Not ONE in the market today. The manufacturer might have added 100% glycerin to the soap but you have no idea how much. What you can be sure of, is that the soap is not made of 100% glycerin. Read the ingredients! If there were such a thing, the soap bar would be very mushy and soft and wouldn't lather at all. Natural glycerin, is, after all, a liquid.

How do I make my glycerin soaps last longer?

Ask Freesia Girl!! - Serenquility Bath & Body FAQ
Soaps last longer when they are allowed to dry properly. Most soaps turn into a goopy mess when allowed to sit in a puddle of water after washing. Invest in a good soap dish that allows drainage so that air is allowed to circulate around the bar and dry throroughly. In a pinch, until you can get a good soap dish, use a couple of skewers or chopsticks.
