In most cases, clear soaps are made by adding alcohol to the soap mixture. This alcohol is mostly obtained from corn grain alcohol or premium rubbing alcohol. Most customers think that clear soaps are natural glycerine soaps since they are made of different foaming agents, wetting formulas and alcohol, and a standard mixture of water, oils, and alkali. However, in reality, the squeaky clean feeling that consumers get while using clear soaps is due to the presence of synthetic ingredients, detergents and foaming agents.
