Soap

We have been unable to gain a satisfactory explanation for why this soap fluoresces. When hunting for fluorescent objects for this display, the number of items we came across in our bathrooms was rather alarming. A combination of bacteria and cleaning products mean that there lurk all kinds of natural fluorescing growths and artificial whitening agents. The soap on display is clearly fluorescent and contains peppermint, lavender and tea tree oils with alkanet extract.
