Water is used to dissolve the sodium hydroxide lye so it can interact with the soaping oils to begin the saponification process. As the soap cures, some of the water evaporates and makes a harder, longer-lasting bar of soap. How much water you use in your soap will depend on the calculator you use.

Glycerin in soap attracts the moisture from the air which form on the surface of the soaps - this is so-called soap ‘sweating’. At first, soap sweating looks like frost, and upon closer inspection, small water droplets are visibly covering the surface of your soap .
