Morphology

superfat = fat (transparent) = super + fat

The adjective is formed by productive prefixation super- (extra/very) + fat (oil), and the technical soap meaning is a straightforward 'extra oil' sense.

Etymology

Superfat comes from the parts super- meaning 'extra' and fat meaning 'oil' or 'fat', and you can think of super- like in superhero meaning very big or extra. So a superfat soap has extra oil left in it to make the bar more moisturizing for sensitive or dry skin.
