Glycerin Unmasked
The Hidden Secrets of Soap Revealed! *By Investigative Reporter Anthony Dynar | Sun Fire Citadel, Wikieup, Arizona*
Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid. It is a natural compound that belongs to the alcohol family and is derived from plant-based oils or animal fats. Glycerin is highly versatile and finds extensive use in various industries, including skincare, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.
One of the most notable properties of glycerin is its hygroscopic nature, meaning it attracts and retains moisture from the air. This characteristic makes it an excellent moisturizer, as it helps to hydrate and soften the skin. In skincare products, glycerin serves as a humectant, drawing water into the skin and forming a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Our debut investigation unveils the glycerin enigma in soap-making! The mysteriously unified standing from all the major soap manufacturers surrounding glycerin in commercially made soap. Our journey into the covert world of soap manufacturing has exposed a financial scheme that has kept customers in the dark. Brace yourself as we dive deep into the secrets of soap and the inspiring story of one local soap maker revolutionizing the industry.
Removing glycerin from commercially produced soap has remained a well-kept secret for years. Major soap manufacturers prioritized their profits over customer well-being, trading away glycerin's moisturizing benefits. The result? Dry, irritated skin for countless unsuspecting consumers. Ever wondered why some bar soaps have glycerin removed during their production process? Here's the inside scoop!
Soap manufacturers often extract glycerin from the soap formula to extend its shelf life. By doing so, the soap can have a longer product lifespan, sitting pretty on the shelves for an extended period. Soap with glycerin already has a 9-12 month shelf life, but that’s not enough for wall street companies to maximize profits! The extracted glycerin is no waste; it's a valuable commodity. Manufacturers sell this glycerin to other industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even food! This savvy move helps offset the costs of making the soap at the expense of unknowing customers.
At the forefront of this revelation is Mane Cultivation, a local soap maker co-owned by Christian Avery, an enterprising visionary seeking to change the skincare landscape. The astonishing twist? Mane Cultivation has found a way to make glycerin-rich soap at the exact cost as store-bought bars. Why won’t big companies yet follow suit?
"In Mane Cultivation, we believe in positively impacting people's lives. Our soap is crafted with love and contains glycerin, offering the best for our customers' skin," says Christian Avery. While producing at the exact cost as store bars, they sell their glycerin-rich soaps at a reasonable markup, $3.99 per bar, on spikeypines.com, setting a new standard for affordability in the handmade soap market.
The implications are substantial, especially compared to other handmade soap makers offering larger bars at a higher price point. Yet, it's essential to recognize that choosing soap without glycerin doesn't necessarily label a seller as "bad." It's the role of the consumer to be informed and make knowledgeable decisions about their skincare choices.
In the spirit of transparency, we must disclose that Christian Avery is also a co-owner of SpikeyPines, the land where Mane Cultivation thrives. This connection led us to this groundbreaking story, ensuring our reporting remains unbiased and accurate.
With newfound knowledge, readers can now make empowered choices for their skincare needs. Gone are the days of falling prey to corporate agendas. Instead, you can opt for glycerin-rich soap that nourishes and cares for your skin while supporting local businesses committed to transparency and customer empowerment.
Join us in celebrating this thrilling investigative journey as we encourage you to take charge of your skincare. Embrace the power of knowledge and consider supporting businesses like Mane Cultivation, where passion, ethics, and community stand at the forefront of their mission.
