2 Buck Soap is handmade using simple ingredients. It is eco friendly and made with recycled vegetable oil from local restaurants. We filter and clean it to 25 microns, and add lye to make it into soap, the old fashioned way. We add a little fragrance for a nice light smell, but not too much. We do not remove the glycerin, so it won't dry out your skin like commercial soaps, even if you need to wash a lot.
