Can glycerin be used in face masks?
Oh! We have been using that gross glycerin on the face for so long now. Don't you read the labels on shaving creme, acne medications and cremes and ointments and makeup? It's in there! And we have been using it on the face with no reall side affects of symptoms however I think that the only type of gyceribn that should be used on the face or put in any product is vegetable glycerin. Glycerin is fat and usually made from the by produsts of a cow and has other stuff in it. The government allows us to use that nasty stuff on the face however i think that it is wrong should be banned and is gross. Parts of the cow ligiments and other parts like fat are used in glycerin. Burt's Bees is one of the few companies that uses natural products but still uses gylcerin in a select few. to avoid gycerlin, fat and ligiments leftobver from a dead rotting cow gorund up and put into our beatuy products and food, read labels and buy natural and organic products. Add: although beef/cow is natural.. lol glycerin and rose water is amazing on your face
What are two compounds of soap?
Oils and fats for soap are compounds of glycerin and a fatty acid. When oils are mixed with an alkali, they form glycerin and the sodium salt of the fatty acid. The fatty acids required for soap making are supplied by tallow, grease, fish oils, and vegetable oils. The hardness, lathering qualities, and transparency of soap vary according to the combinations of fats and alkalis used as ingredients. An experienced soap crafter uses many combinations of oils.

Is glycerin a lotion or a soap?
You cannot make soap without lye. Even glycerin soap is not free of lye. The Lye is a naturally occurring chemical that can be produced using simple rainwater and wood or plant ash. Soap has been made with some form of lye for thousands of years and can be traced back as far as 2800 BC. Here is a website that gives a summary of the history of soap. http://www.cleaning101.com/cleaning/history/ The glycerin is the byproduct that is left over after the commercial soapmakers skim the soap off the top. What is left is then distilled and becomes what we know as glycerin, but the glycerin results from the original process to make the soap which invariably uses lye. The removal of the glycerin from the soap along with the addition of other, God knows what, chemicals added in the commercial soap is what is harmful or drying to your skin. Lye soap (there REALLY is no other kind)is not harmful to your skin IF the soap is properly made. If too much lye is used for the fat content, it may retain some of they lye's caustic properties. Some soapmakers (homemade soap, not commercial) will "super fat" their mixture to avoid any chance that the lye's caustic properties were not neutralized. If you worry about the "chemical" use of lye in your soap, don't be. Without lye, there is no soap. Water, Lye and Fat are the ingredients in any soap. The only alternative is detergent which is made with phosphates. Phosphates are carcenogenic and are known to cause cancer. Also, don't forget the potential for chemical harm attributable to glycerin either. Nitroglycerin is made from glycerin! When used and handled properly, lye is very safe. Here is another article about the soap making process. http://www.pioneerthinking.com/glycerin.html
