Super fatting Soap - This means that oils have been left in the soap unconverted by the lye either because the amount of lye was decreased to allow some oil to remain or oil was added at the trace stage after the mix had saponified. Adding the extra oil at this time keeps it in its natural state, and ready to instantly moisturize your skin as you use the soap.

Trace - The point at which the soap/lye mixture begins to thicken. As it becomes the consistency of gravy the essential oils, super fatting oils, botanicals etc are added. The mixture is then poured into a mold to harden.
