Shaving Soap & Products

Dear Alabu:Keep making Rich soap and Baby Face oil!! These products nourish, soften and comfort my mature, normal and sensitive facial skin in a very natural way. I tried the Monoi de Tahiti soap. It was excellent, but my skin preferred the Rich soap. I appreciate that both products are unscented. I use the Shea Butter Lotion Stick on very dry areas of skin, if needed. Note: I have tried other goat soaps and lots of other types of "natural products" with NO success. Thank you for all your hard work and "OUTSTANDING" products.

Where Does The Lye Go In Soap

Soap is produced when a fatty acid is combined with an alkali (otherwise known as a base or lye) in a process called saponification. The alkali causes the fatty acid to be split into two parts: the major fatty part (a carbon chain) and glycerin. Once this happens, sodium or potassium joins with the carbon chain to produce soap. Soaps are usually produced by combining fats or oils with lye, soda (Na2CO3). In this process the alkali(lye) is used up in the reaction.
