Descripción
A class of soft or semifluid soaps made by the saponification of oils, such as candlenut oil or olive oil, with potassium hydroxide. Soft soaps tend to dissolve more readily in water than hard soaps. Apart from typical cleaning applications, it has been used as a parting compound to separate plaster casts from their molds.
