Realising of course, that to get the glycerine soap base, caustic soda was used to create it.

just as an FYI, you MUST have a caustic to make soap.  If the soap doesn't list lye it's because technically isn't no longer in soap.  Molecularly, fat, liquid and lye (caustic) make soap and you can't back them out of the soap.  They ARE soap - changed on the molecular level...

Which is why I get so cranky at the companies that like to tout that they are environmentally safe, as they don't use any lye to make their glycerine soaps.  Truth be told, they might not, but to get the glycerine blocks that they use, lye was originally use to make that.  They are only telling half the story.
