The caustic chemicals that can be combined with fatty acids to make beautiful cleansing agents have proven efficient for these and many other purposes for over 100 years. Soap has been made successfully from less than pure sources of these caustics, but of course, not all recipes result in a safe and useful product. In 1887, a man failed miserably at his soap making attempt in his factory and subsequently died in prison for his crime! Was it due to inaccurate proportions of ingredients, or was it due to injuries resulting from unsafe manufacturing practices? How could something so many of us make and enjoy have such disastrous consequences? The truth is far more freakish and terrible than speculations about errors in the process!

Soap makers come in all forms. Some soap makers have become quite successful due to the quality of their products and intelligent actions, while others have chosen to embrace a much darker path for their creations. Whenever I encounter a tale of the latter, I am amazed and ashamedly, I do admit morbid fascination of a sort. This dark side of soap making has been portrayed in fictional accounts of watered down versions of borderline atrocious behavior. The real characters are indeed insomnia inspiring. For instance, what if you happened to be the unlucky "friend" of Leonarda Cianciulli? Imagine getting a nice little gift basket which she has filled with several handmade items, including a nice bar of herbal soap. You are pleased, and later lather up with her soap, enjoying the way it cleanses your skin. You wonder if she gave a bar to your mutual friend that lives a couple of houses down. You decide to stop by this mutual friends house on your way to market, but discover that your friend has suddenly moved away. Such strange happenings! A week later, you hear a commotion on the street, and look out your window to see police descending on your soap making friend's house! You wait for news, to find out what happened to your friend, and finally, the truth comes out! Gagging, you want to pitch the remnants of her handmade soap as far away from you as possible, but the police might consider it evidence! Want to find out the true story of Leonarda Cianciulli rather than read an imginary scenario? Here is a link: murderpedia.org/female.C/c/cianciulli-leonarda.htm
