Tincture of green soap?

Tincture of Green Soap is a preparation containing soft soap (made by combining a fatty acid with potassium carbonate or "potash"), lavender oil and alcohol. The official name was Liniment of Soft Soap. This was used to cleanse an area prior to an operation and surgeons used it to wash their hands until newer detergents and other cleansers became available in the mid 20th century. It was also popular as a scalp cleaner during that period. George Gerding

Why is tincture of green soap called that when it is actually an orange color?

For more than one hundred years, under the name of " green soap," there has been used in Europe a soap made by saponifying linseed, rape seed, or other vegetable oils with various refuse oils, usually including fish oils, an excess of potassium hydroxide, and a little sodium hydroxide. The green color of this soap was probably due to the presence of chlorophyll in. the impure vegetable oils used. This green soap, or so-called " German soap," was formerly imported into America, but at present has been almost entirely superseded by soft soap made in this country, from which it does not differ in the nature of its active constituents or in its therapeutic properties.


How does green soap helps?

I have used Green Tincture Soap for over 30 years. I was given a bottle before the birth of my first son. It healed my apeseotomy (sp) so well that my Dr. couldn't find a scar. I have used it on my children and even my pets for all wounds. I can not live with out it.... I have also passed it on to many. The Company that made it was HUMCO. Last place I found it was at an OLLIES discount store in Scranton, Pa. If you can find this, get it..... You won't be sorry you did. Healing Hugs Connie

Is there an alternative for green soap in tattooing?

Yes, although I recommend Green Soap as the best of the best kind of soap solution to be applied on the skin on the tattoo wound. Okay alternatives would be Dr.Bronner's Soap. It can be found at most vitamin shops locally. Another alternative would be just basic sentless anti-bacterial soap mixed with alcohol. Again, Green Soap is the best thing to use, and Dr.Bronner Soap is close. Green soap may be sold at Costco.
