SOAP EXPLAINED

It is very generally known that soap is made by combining a fat or oil with a water solution of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda or lye).

Soap is ordinarily thought of as the common cleansing agent well known to everyone. In a general and strictly chemical sense this term is applied to the salts of the non-volatile fatty acids. These salts are not only those formed by the alkali metals, sodium and potassium, but also those formed by the heavy metals and alkaline earths.

Soap making can be very simple or you can make it as complicated as you like.

The beauty of learning how to make soap is that you can make it with the ingredients that you choose and the fragrances that you like. Adjustments aren’t hard, but take some practice. Most all soap recipes use ounces or grams and ingredients must be weighed to get good results. I’ve found a way to simplify the process by converting the ingredients to cups and portions of cups. It’s much easier and you get the same results time after time.

When it comes to molds, you essentially have three soap equipment options you can choose from. The best soap making equipment for beginners and advanced soap makers are silicone molds, which are easy to use and clean. If you want to make large batches, you can use wooden molds. Wooden molds should be lined with a silicone liner or freezer paper to force the gel phase. You can also use plastic molds, but they require you to take extra steps and hard oils to use them properly.
