Some of you obviously do not know anything about soap making. Glycerin is not used to make soap. In fact, soap making produces glycerin. Soap is produced by saponification of a fat. In this process, just as in the transesterification process used to make bio-diesel, glycerin is freed from the fatty acids. In soap making, the fatty acid is then combined with the sodium atom in the caustic soda (aka lye). In some cases, the glycerin is removed from the soap, in other cases it is left in.
