Glycerin is a humectant (draws and collects moisture) that is produced naturally in soap and is good for your skin (very moisturizing). Commercial soap producers leach the glycerin out of their soap and sell it to other manufacturers (such as lotion manufacturers). This leaves you with a soap that will dry your skin. We do not extract the glycerin from our soap. We leave it in the soap where it belongs--where it can moisturize your skin as it was supposed to do. Over a period of time, you will see the difference and feel the benefits!
