The dimensions of my bar soap are the same as a bar soap I found in stores but mine aren't as dense. Any ideas why?
The dimensions have nothing to do with it. The difference is the ingredients -- whether it's "syndets" as @MellonFriend mentioned, or actual "soap" made from the same ingredients we use to make handcrafted soap, or a combination of the two with tallow added to allow the manufacturer to call it soap!!! LOLThe dimensions of my bar soap are the same as a bar soap I found in stores but mine aren't as dense. Any ideas why?
Those are all good questions. For one thing, "The longer the cure, the better the bar." So, if your soap is fairly new, it won't be as dense as when it is fully cured.What type of soap making process did you use? What's your recipe? How long did you cure your bars?
You're welcome.Thanks for all the helpful info!
That IS the basic trinity of oils!!!olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil
Mass produced commercial soaps are made using industrial methods and highly refined ingredients.The dimensions of my bar soap are the same as a bar soap I found in stores but mine aren't as dense. Any ideas why?

Oopsie! Sorry about that. I made the correction. You're both so wise it's hard to tell the difference!The post you referred to was by MellonFriend (not me).
