Different formulations in different countries? Haven't seen bar soap for a long time but cakes of Sunlight bath soap here (Australia) are labelled as 'pure soap'. Don't know what is normally added to 'unpure' soap but the ingredients listed on the packet of Sunlight soap are: Sodium tallowate, water, sodium cocoate, and/or sodium palm kernelate, glycerin, fragrance, sodium chloride, titanium dioxide, etidronic acid, tetrasodium EDTA.

The Sunlight soap 'here' (North America) is a harsh hard soap which is used for laundry, used to be every home had some, but you can still buy a package of the yellow bars. It isn't very nice on the hands, but a little bit goes a long way, and it could be used for every day textiles too. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
