You'll never look at a bar of soap the same way again after listening to this episode. Chris Buckley, executive vice president of customer experience at Bradford Soap Works, explains how soap is made, why some bars feel more luxurious than others, and what on earth a "syndet" bar is (and why derms love them). Also, Buckley gets into the soap world's impact on the environment, and how companies' and consumers' choices have an impact on the state of our planet. All this, and lots more bubbly trivia.

Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode.
