[edit] What is non-glycerin soap

So... what is non-glycerin soap? What ingredient is the replacement?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.166.44 (talk • contribs)

Glycerin is a by-product created during the soap making process. Usually the glycerin remains combined with the soap, but it's possible to extract it. Because glycerin has many uses (for instance it is widely used in skin-care products), it is more profitable for mass producers of soap to extract it from the soap for use in some other product, than to leave it in the soap-bars.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.101.64.26 (talk • contribs)
