Vegetable Glycerine Soaps | The Science & Your Health
Glycerol (also called glycerine or glycerin) is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic.
Due to having antimicrobial and antiviral properties it is widely used in FDA approved wound and burn treatments.
The Red Cross reports that an 85% solution of glycerin shows bactericidal and antiviral effects, and wounds treated with glycerin show reduced inflammation.
Glycerol is a component of glycerin soap. Essential oils and fragrance oils can be added for fragrance. This kind of soap is used by people with sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture up through skin layers and slows or prevents excessive drying and evaporation.
Soap is created by mixing fats and oils with a base, as opposed to detergent which is created by combining chemical compounds.
Humans have used soap for cleaning for millennia. Evidence exists of the production of soap-like materials in around 2800 BC in ancient Babylon.
For making natural hand & body soaps, triglycerides (oils and fats) are derived from coconut, olive, or palm oils.
Triglyceride is the chemical name for the triesters of fatty acids and glycerin.

In your words...

"I absolutely love your products. I purchase them at craft shows and JD Adam in the Glebe. Given the bizarre environment we are all currently in - your wonderful soaps bring a delight and appreciation of the little things in life that make such a big difference. Thank you for your craftsmanship and for sharing your talents with others."
-Emily M., in the Glebe, Ottawa
"I have placed two orders with French Country Soaps and there will be plenty more including referring them to my friends and family. The first time I placed an order was about 7 months ago and was extremely satisfied with the speed and simplicity of the transaction and delivery. Top notch customer service. Just when I didn't think it could get better I was blown away the second time. I ordered 20 bars of soap one afternoon and within an hour, my order was confirmed since everything was in stock. The person I spoke to was extremely helpful and courteous. I explained that even though I live in Ottawa, I would rather have them shipped as quickly as possible since I was getting ready to deploy overseas and just didn't have the time to go to the other end of the city. All I can say is "Wow!" because the next day, just after noon my order was at my front door! This is why I buy local and support the smaller guys. Customer for life."
