∙ 10y agoSodium hydroxide is used to make solid soaps. Potassium hydroxide is used to make liquid soaps.
If the soap is actually a detergent, there are a vast number of chemicals that can be used to make it.

∙ 12y agoTraditional soap is not a polymer; instead it is an alkali metal salt of an aliphatic acid with usually from 14 - 18 carbon atoms. However, some synthetic detergents, which have largely replaced soap for cleaning purposes, are polymers or at least oligomers, with "poly(ethylene oxide)" chains containing about 20 -CH2CHOH- units.

Why glycerine a polymer?
Glycerine polymer is used for many things one of them is soap. And glycerine is bio- degradable. and is Non Toxic. Glycerine is found in most things we consume and use .
What is the chemical composition of toilet soap?
The chemical composition of soap can contain between 45 to 95 percent fatty acid soap, up to 45 percent synthetic surfactant, and up to 5 percent water-soluble polymer. This composition produces a soap that has good lathering properties.
