Which soap do you use? Toilet soap or bathing bars?

I am writing this article because my student Rachana. The question asked by her brother to her and she asked the same to me - “why toilet soap is written on the soap’s wrapper?”. I have undergone for a little research on this topic and I am putting here my findings.

Short answer:

Toilet soap is the soap used as a toiletry and the toiletry means - an object or cosmetic used in making up, dressing, etc. Due to the word toiletry, we misunderstood the concept of toilet soap. Cambridge dictionary defines the toilet soap as “a sweet-smelling soap that is intended for washing the body”.

Soap is used to clean the body and it is catagorised as toilet soap and bathing bar. The distinction (toilet soap and bathing bar) is made on the basis on amount of fatty material used to manufacture the soap. The thing to note is higher fatty material soap has better cleaning ability. Toilet soap contains more fatty material than bathing bar, so they soften the skin than bathing bar. Most of the soaps present in the market (Lux, Liril, Lifebuoy, Hamam, Rexona, Cinthol) are toilet soaps. (See the list at bottom)

Detailed Explanation:

To understand whole concept, you must to understand the manufacturing process of soap (called as Saponification). Soaps are the compounds formed by the reaction of bases (alkalies or salts) with triglycerides (fatty acid esters) with a byproduct as a glycerin. Fatty acid salt is a chemical name of soap. Bases are mostly sodium or potassium hydroxide. Triglycerides are mostly found in vegetable oil (coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, etc) or animal fats. Vegetable oil produces soft soap whereas animal fat produces hard soap. The soaps are rated in terms of Total Fatty Matter (TFM) contents. Good TFM soap has a good cleaning and nourishing property. TFM is a measure (in %) for identifying the amount of fatty matter present in soap i.e. more the fatty material present in soap, it is good for skin. In ideal saponification process, the ratio of fats to bases is 5:1. If we consider 5:1 ratio then TFM value of soap is 83.3% (but observed max value of TFM is 80%).

According to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), there are two types of soap - toilet soap and bathing bar. TFM content in bathing bar should be less than 60% but not less than 40%, while toilet soaps are categorized in three sub-categories depending on their TFM content. The TFM content of Grade I toilet soap should be 76% or above. TFM content of Grade II toilet soap should be less than 76% but not less than 70%. TFM content of Grade III toilet soap should be less than 70% but not less than 60%. It is mandatory for toilet soap to mention TFM value on the wrapper while in case of bathing bar, it is not obligatory to mention TFM value.

Toilet soap v/s Bathing bar

Toilet soap	Bathing bar
High amount of fatty material	Less amount of fatty material
TFM ranging from 60-80%	TFM ranging from 40-60%
Surface active agents are absent	Surface active agents are present

Grade I soap has better cleaning ability and it is gentle to skin than lower grade soap. Grade I soap has no filler (additive like talc) while Grade II and Grade III have large amount of fillers. Sometimes fillers present in Grade II, Grade III and bathing bar may have bad effect on the skin. These soaps consumed faster than Grade I soap when gets contact with water and they are also poorer in lathering.

If TFM is low, this means, other than fatty material something like moisturising cream, vitamin, ayurvedic material or talc is added to soap.

There are some soap sub-categories (not standardized) are present in market like glycerin soap, beauty bar, ayurvedic soap. As glycerin soap (like Pears) is soft to skin so it may be the choice of people who have sensitive skin but they are not good at cleaning the skin. Beauty bar (like Dove) may be choice of people whose skin gets dry when they use soap because soap pours inside the skin. Beauty bar does not dry the skin because they are made up of neutral cleansing material and moisturising cream. One can use ayurvedic soap (like Margo) whose skin is sensitive to chemicals.

Final words – Soap selection is depending on the individual’s requirement. The people don’t have any skin problem, they can opt toilet soap (grade 1 is better choice than lesser one). If you have a sensitive skin then you can prefer to use glycerin, beauty bar or ayurvedic soap.
