I have used a clean and clear soap for many years!  It is awesome and I highly recommend it.  I don't remember the exact type of soap, so here's what the bottle looks like, and you can't miss it.  It's an orange soap in a clear bottle with a dark purple pump.  You won't regret this $3.50 purchase, but make sure you are washing your face for a full 30 seconds.  That's why they recommend singing the happy birthday song when you wash your hands and face.  Many people don't wash long enough for washing to be effective.  Best of luck to you!

It is called Total Fatty Matter. It gives the lather producing capacity of the soap. The more it is the good the soap is.

Sometimes they are better.  There is a formula for cleaning grubby little brass items (screws, hinges, hooks, Meccano gears etcetera): mix 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar with one and a half teaspoons of washing-up liquid and a little cold water, add half a pint of scalding water, add the metal items, stir for 60 to 90 seconds, drain and rinse.  This either leaves the items gleaming, or loosens their tarnish so much that a gentle scrub with cream cleanser leaves them gleaming.  Nothing commercial is anything like as good as this.

In chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallon) is an element that readily forms ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Metals are sometimes described as a lattice of positive ions (cations) surrounded by a cloud of delocalized electrons. The metals are one of the three groups of elements as distinguished by their ionisation and bonding properties, along with the metalloids and nonmetals. On the periodic table, a diagonal line drawn from boron (B) to polonium (Po) separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals; elements to the upper right are nonmetals.

Soap is the sodium - Na - salt of a fatty acid, that is a salt obtained when a high carboxylic acid like palmitic acid etc. reacts with NaOH(caustic soda)&#92; or sodium hydroxide)\n\nIts chemical formula in its general form is R-COO-Na\nwhere R is an alkyl group of the form C(n)H(2n+1)-\n\nfor eg.- C(17)-H(33)-COO-Na\n\nwhere the H atom of the acid is replaced by the Na atom in a process called Saponification or salting of soap

There are significant differences between soap and shampoo.\n\nWhile both soaps and shampoos contain the cleaning agent surfactants, soap is specifically designed to clean the body and might be too harsh on hair.\n\nThe difference between shampoo and soap include:\n\n    * Proper detergency without degreasing\n    * Ability to form delicate and rich bubbling\n    * Easy rinsing\n    * Good finish after washing hair\n    * Minimal skin/eye irritation\n    * No damage to hair\n    * Low toxicity\n    * Good biodegradability

Well, I guess the water supply in the UK is hard water. Hard water is water with metal cations in it (mostly calcium and magnesium). Oh, and shampoo has EDTA in it, which "eats" the metal cations and turns hard water into soft water. This is why shampoo lathers in hard water but soap does not. Look at the back of the shampoo bottle, you'll see some form of EDTA in it (mine has tetrasodium EDTA).

Another one for wikipedia.com:\n\n"Many soaps are mixtures of sodium (soda) or potassium (potash) salts of fatty acids which can be derived from oils or fats by reacting them with an alkali (such as sodium or potassium hydroxide) at 80°–100 °C in a process known as saponification. The fats are hydrolyzed by the base, yielding glycerol and crude soap. Historically, the alkali used was potassium made from the deliberate burning of vegetation such as bracken, or from wood ashes.\n\nSoap is derived from either oils or fats. Sodium Tallowate, a common ingredient in many soaps, is in fact derived from rendered beef fat. Soap can also be made of vegetable oils, such as olive oil. Soap made entirely from such oils, or nearly so, is called castile soap. The use of the word "soap" has become such a household name that even cleaning solutions for the body that don't have soap in the ingredients are referred to as soap."\n\nThere you have it: fats or oils.

Since I live in Australia, I don't know 1, but you can try a soap bar.

actually its the friction that removes the germs not the soap.the soap binds with oils,grease and dead skin cells to remove them.
