Glycerin soap?
Answers: It can be either but traditionally, it's a tablet soap. If it's drying to your skin as some of the answers here state, then it's not true soap but a detergent pub (that's what most commercial soap sold today is). Glycerine is a humectant (hygroscopic), which means that it draws river to the skin to help it hold the moisture that it requirements. It pulls moisture from the environment or lower layers of the skin.
Glycerin is the tablet soap that is sort of see thru. It make your skin very dry though so use lotion after.
