A floating soap is produced by the
mass of soap being beaten while 1t
is cooling, just as we beat eggs or bat
ter. This incorporates air into the soap
and makes 1t float. A given bulk of
floating soap weighs much less than
the same bulk Of soap that does not
float. One hundred pounds of soap
beaten will make many more cakes OF
a given size of floating soap not beaten.
1t is due to no ingredient. Any SOAP
