Soaps by Primal Elements Primal Soaps: These handmade vegetable glycerin soaps are as fragrant as they are beautiful. Vegetable glycerin is a humectant that moisturizes the skin. Our soaps come in a variety of fragrances and colors with the design going through the whole slice (or bar). They are made in California with only the highest quality ingredients for a rich feel and a luxurious lather that rinses cleanly away. We recommend that vegetable glycerin soap be kept in a soap dish that drains to prolong the life of the soap and prevent melting .
