Question

How are transparent soaps manufactured?

Answer 1

Transparent soaps are made by dissolving the soap in ethanol and then evaporating the excess solvent. To make it transparent, the soap must be dissolved in enough solvent to make the crystals so small that light passes freely through, making the soap look transparent.
