How Soap is Made

Steve Kelly finds out how natural, organic soap is made when he visits The Rocky Mountain Soap Company, Canadas leader in 100% Natural Bath and Body products. How Soap Works. How does it work? Most soaps remove grease and dirt because some of their components are surfactants (surface-active agents). Surfactants have a molecular structure that acts as a link between water and the dirt particles. This loosens the particles from the underlying fibers or surfaces to be cleaned. One end of the molecule is hydrophilic (attracted to water), and the other is hydrophobic (attracted to substances that are not water soluble). This peculiar structure allows soap to adhere to substances that are otherwise insoluble in water. The dirt is then washed away with the soap.

@MsBarn01 If by True Glycerine you mean Glycerin Soap Base, then that is much less healthier for your skin than Natural Soap. It's not homemade. This soap is tons better than soap base.

Pretty interesting to see the soap being made - I think they were making "Spring Thaw", which is cinnamon scented. Kudos to the production team!
