its quality. 4

quality fat or edible oil. The moisture is removed from soap by
passing it through hot rollers and then desired color and perfume
are added.

divided sand and washing soda. It is used for washing utensils.

is produced by the saponification of good quality animal fat or
edible oil with potassium hydroxide (caustic potash). It also
contains some extra quantity of stearic acid to prevent
