Ingredients
The Ivory soap bar (classic) had contained: sodium tallowate, sodium cocoate or sodium palm kernelate, water, sodium chloride, sodium silicate, magnesium sulfate, and fragrance. The soap bar had a determined pH value: 9.5.
New varieties of Ivory soap contain altered ingredients, such as in "Simply Ivory" (or "simplement ivory"): sodium tallowate and/or sodium palmate, water, sodium cocoate or sodium palm kernelate, glycerin, sodium chloride, fragrance, one or more of the following: coconut acid, palm kernel acid, tallow acid or palm acid, and tetrasodium EDTA. It is interesting to note however, that bars of Ivory now come without the words soap or float on the packaging, and that they are made with the latter formula. It is possible to feel a slight difference when holding the new bars, even through the package - they are slightly more malleable (try crushing it, it bends like a sponge).

Commends th’ ingredients of our poisoned chalice
