Soap is made using caustic soda, a liquid (usually water or milk) and oils or fats. When these ingredients are mixed together a chemical reaction called "Saponification" starts. Within 17 hours this reaction has formed two brand new products: Soap & Glycerine. There is no caustic soda left in the soap, providing enough oils or fats are in the formula to use up all the caustic soda.
