hard soap
Solid lathering block
Hard soap is soap made with sodium hydroxide rather than potassium hydroxide, producing a firm bar that holds its shape when dry.
The term distinguishes bar soap from soft soap, which remains paste-like or liquid.
Most commercial bar soaps are hard soaps: She preferred hard soap to liquid dispensers.
