Abstract: Natural green, environmentally friendly solid soap compositions and methods of manufacturing and using the same are provided with easy dispersal in water and self thickening to produce liquid soaps. The natural soap compositions contain potassium fatty acid carboxylates and preferably potassium chloride but may alternately contain potassium bromide or potassium iodide. There is a need for natural, green, environmentally friendly soaps as well as eco green packaging. Recent systems have managed eco packaging but continue to rely on synthetic non-natural fossil fuel based soaps. The inventive natural solid soaps do not require plastic or similar packaging for liquids and can be shipped as a solid bar, granules, powder, etc. and diluted very easily by the end user. Preferably the soaps are small bars that easily fit into a dispenser bottle offering versatility in concentration, lather, and thickness.
