Comparison of Commercialized Soap to Beer Soap

synthetic ingredients such as preservatives or chemical compounds. Beer soap, like
natural soaps, contain glycerin which is a natural skin emollient (skin softener) that
attracts water from the surrounding air. Beer soap is made using cold process,
which was the original way of soap making back in the days.
While on the other hand,commercialized soaps are made large scale in
factories using the continuous method. Commercialized soaps have had all of the
glycerin removed and placed into additional products such as lotions and creams.
Commercialized soaps also contain synthetic fragrances instead of natural
fragrances to reduce the cost of making soap.
