Answer 1

Hint: For the above given options try to find out the properties of each compound and try to compare those properties with the properties of the deodorant soap. The compound whose properties are matching with the properties of the deodorant soap is the compound that is added in the deodorant soaps.

Complete step by step answer:
 Glycerin is the addictive material that is used in the transparent soaps. Glycerin, also known as glycerol is a thick transparent and non-toxic liquid commonly found in soaps. Also this glycerin is good for skin.
Glycerin is the natural byproduct of the saponification process. When oil reacts with alkaline it forms soap and glycerol. This glycerin in the soap retains your skin’s moisture, repairing damage, and protects your skin from infections. It can also improve overall skin health. Due to the important uses of the glycerin especially to our skin, it is used not only in the deodorant soaps but also in the other soaps.

Since glycerin is the addictive material that is added in the deodorant soaps, the correct answer is the option (A).


Note: Glycerin is good for skin. Glycerin soap is vegan friendly and a great option for the people with sensitive skin. Due to the hot water or the harsh products that are used for bathing will make your natural skin’s oils are often stripped during the bathing process. Use of glycerin will help in locking the natural oil of the skin or the moisture content of the skin.
