Gee whiz, Ivory use to advertise "gentle enough for a baby's skin". I know that's not our rifle bores, but the stuff is pretty safe. Many think because soap is made with a caustic substance, lye, that soap has to be caustic. The saphonation of soap, if done correctly uses up the caustic action of the lye. There have been soap based greases for scores years. Many of the marine greases are soap based and you cannot get more humid then that. Those of you that live in the states where roads are heavily salted (where don't they anymore?) there were automotive businesses dedicated to rust proofing your car. One notable one was Ziebart. Their slogan use to be "It's Rust or Us". That material they used is very closely related to Alox which is soap based. A good many of those states are in very humid areas.
