This specific recipe is really a base tactic to begin to make your personal liquid castile soap at home. It's repeated in a number of articles, books, and websites to be “lye-free” However, please bear in mind that soap has already established some type of lye inside it at some point (if you will find a recipe that's completely “lye-free” throughout the WHOLE process we wish to know). The aim here's to get rid of all of the lye during saponification so you'll have no left inside your final batch. We would like you to definitely you can test out different oils however, to help keep it “lye-free” make use of the measurements from the oil, water and KOH (potassium hydroxide) as mentioned below.
Step One: Materials Needed
Equipment:
(all containers, spoons, bowls etc. make certain they're stainless and/or heat safe)
* Slowcooker (one that you'll just use for soap, don't use again for food)
* Accurate scale
* Stick blender, immersion blender
* Large stainless pot
* Spoons
* Bowl(s)
* Vinegar
* Mitts
* Goggles
* Hat
* Containers to keep your soap
* Notepad and pen
Make certain you are able to put aside sufficient time throughout the day to consentrate on any project with no distractions (simpler stated than can be done), have all your materials all set to go, and ingredients already measured in safe and covered containers.
