It is made from the most basic ingredients and with the most basic tools.
How it works
This soap works by breaking apart the protective layer germs have on the outside, making them vulnerable and rendering them incapable. The soap also traps and removes the contaminants and oils present in the surface being cleaned, that is why it is crucial to wash hands with the soap for at least twenty seconds. The longer the washing process, the more effective the soap becomes in flushing the bacteria.
The coronavirus has a lipid protective layer which is deactivated by the soap.
