99 and 44/100 th percent pure. Even as a little kid I asked, pure what?
So pure it floats.
To: DefeatCorruption
It floats because the manufacturer beats air into it. That is also why it melts at a quicker rate than other soaps.

Loads of amazing soap shops on Etsy.com - even bacon-scented if you want the dog to love you.

Lye is potash/sodium hydroxide ( i think you can make a bomb from it) but basically soap and lotions are variations of mayonnaise. oil and water with the stuff that makes em mix together. NaOH is the stuff that makes the lard and water combine. handle with care.

The other Freepers are right about how you need to brand your soap as something organic, healthy, natural, and good for the skin. Mentioning that it moisturizes with a balance of natural ingredients that leave the skin clean and fresh but not dried out by chemicals.
Also, did you know that real lye soap is fantastic if you run into poison ivy? It washes the oils off. That’s not relevant to your marketing but it’s interesting, and that is why I always keep some on hand. I love the stuff. People always compliment me on my skin.

Indeed! reformedliberal's comments are very informative and interesting, too. Thanks very much, reformedliberal!
TOL makes wonderful soap that she brings to us each year at our Memorial Shoots in Texas.
I'm pinging her to your thread.

That was my point. Yesterday, the wife won some homemade peppermint soap in a nifty little jute/burlap hand wrapped package some Chamber of Commerce member makes for handouts at Chamber meetings. Every shop I go into with the wife has a hand made soap isle. One like you said, for every imaginable shape or flavor.
On the other hand, with coffee being equal to soap, who would have thought Howard Schultz could revolutionize the way people consume coffee? A Freeper soap magnate...stranger things have happened.

Here’s something I’ve noticed. When a woman sees a shell she has an irresistible impulse to put it on the back of the toilet. So, that's what those three seashells are for.....
