I was recently reading a book that discussed the Top Ten Events in the process of becoming a Soapmaker (
The Everything Soapmaking Book, by Alicia Grosso).
It’s a good book by the way, for those starting out. Well, the list
made me think back to the days when I was just dabbling in the art of
making soap. Never did I think I’d become so addicted.
As the debate continues, millions of people use antibacterial soaps
and household cleaners every day, believing that their germ killing
ability will keep their families healthier. Could these same chemicals
that fight germs also be hazardous to your health?

The FDA regulates cosmetics and drugs. What determines how a product
is classified is the intended used for the product. The way in which
firms market a cosmetic can make it a drug, or how a firm markets a drug
can make it a cosmetic. So what is soap?
