No, bar soap is not considered a common solvent. Solvents are typically liquids that dissolve other substances, while bar soap is a solid surfactant used for cleaning. It works by reducing the surface tension of water and helping to emulsify oils and dirt, allowing them to be washed away, but it does not dissolve substances in the way that traditional solvents do.

Why does a powdered soap dissolve faster than a bar soap?

Does the powder soap dissolve faster than a bar soap?
