I've used 'soap calc pro' designed for Iphone and Ipad. There are oils qualities on this calc. First I used free version, but the autobalancing option on pro version is great. Try this, I've found it quite usefull, you can find it on appstore.
you must have very good ventilation lye stinks aas well as being dangerous. reading some of the responses im struck by how far removed we are these days from nature and all things "natural" there are many plants out there that can kill you totally naturally
@AmishWebmaster Soap is a chemical reaction of an alkaline (lye) and acids (oil) which renders them both safe. It has been used for thousands of years.
I'm helping a poor village in India to make just a plain soap. What is the proportion of lye to oil? How strong is the lye? We have palm and coconut oil etc. Do I add anything else, or is that adequate for a soap? How can I speed the curing for soap just used to keep people clean. Should anything be added to make antiseptic or antimicrobial soap? We appreciate advice for our above humanitarian project. Thanks, Bob Chalice
Part 2-But any soap, even the natural ones, can be bad for the skin if used to much because soaps lather/foam to cut through the grease and dirt on the body and wash it away and therefore can also wash away the natural oils on your skin causing dryness and if your unlucky it can make your skin overproduce the natural oils. Apparently the more something lathers, the more drying it is, that doesn't mean you have to stop using soap, just use better soap as in the video or naturally grown ones. :D
Part 1-There is such a thing as 'soap' without lye, yes to make solid bars of soap you will need lye but there are plants in nature that can clean dirt and oils from skin, hair and cloth that are 100% natural. Some you will have to buy like soapnuts which are used for washing clothes and apparently conkers also contain saponins too which you can forage for. But I have just started growing Soapwort in my garden, when heated in water it lathers to become a natural cleanser. Hope that helps! :D
Well talc is natural and it can be found in the earth but when used talc is poisonous. Lye may be natural but some things are better off not used for the skin. Its all up to the person using the product we have the right to use what we choose. No right or wrong answers people :)
THIS IS NNNOOOOOTTTTTTTT NATURAL SOAP,she say natural but she looks like an astronaut so many safety stuff on her hahaha here is nothing naturar dear.
@MissJen27 You have to wear protective gear while the lye mixture (sodium hydroxide and water) is bieng prepared because at that point it's very dangerous. there is NO such thing as soap without sodium hydroxide. After 4-6 weeks it will be completely safe to use on the skin. Once the lye and the oils combine with one another in a process called saponification it turns into soap and glycerin which many companies extract and re-sell. handmade soap is very good for the skin. = )
There are other cleansing agents out there, more natural. Lye is an industrial cleaner. It desolves grease and oil like a dish detergent. Number one cause for dry skin in ppl. So basically all of those oils added as mosturizers dont do nothing, as they get desolved along with your skin oil.
The 4-6 weeks is not just for neutralizing the lye. It is for evaporation of the water as well. As with any soap (including the gross commercial kind) , the longer it sits in the open air, the milder and longer lasting it is.
@motivatedinohio i did try it, i sold the soaps, they cost me 13 cents a bar to make and i sold them for between 2.50 and 6.50 each on ebay. economy of scale my son, economy of scale. soapmaking has turned out to be a decent addition to my company.
@motivatedinohio actually i live in japan and have a local supplier in tokyo. i buy in pretty big quantities, my bill for olive oil was around 250$ for fairly cheap stuff but it got me a lot of oil. see if you can bargain with your supplier to reduce costs and see if your market can withstand a sales price increase to offset the material costs
@0092Anon it really is not i picked this up as a hobby and its easy after you get used to it just alot of measuring and you really need to know what your doing. you can always try melp and pour soap too its way easier!
@NoeBernardin Lye is natural and so are many other TOXIC but natural things including arsenic which is in spinach in extremely small amounts. If you do not use lye in soap then it is not really soap. Soap is a mixture of an alkaline salt and oil. Lye is naturally occuring in wood ashes.
4 to 6 weeks really goes by fast if you do hot process in between those times. You would only do these volumes if selling it. For your own personal use I would do hot process as you could use it the same week although extended drying is preferred.
ITS NOT "100 natural" if there's lye in it, IDIOTS!!!! if it was so "natural" you wouldn't need gloves and eye protection. It's possible to make soup WITHOUT LYE
@NoeBernardin Lye occurs naturally. Read about it first. And as said here, the lye in soap (which is always necessary) completely changes form upon proper soaponification.
I have a 100% AFRICAN NATURAL PRODUCTS i WANT SOME ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE SOAP .......cal 313 267 4002 o I want to oder soap from any one who has being making them.
@PATSDESIGNS The sodium or lye used to make soap undergoes a chemical process during the 4 weeks wait, during this time it loses its chemical action and caustic properties thanks to the oils it is mixed with,therefore becoming completely neutral. For this reason it is imperative to allow four weeks after soap is made with this ingredient, otherwise you could irritate the skin.
so helpful how she measures it but doesnt say the measurement so i mean this videos rather useless for anyone that wanted to use it because of that (i dont want to use it but still >.>)
@thexmario I've only been researching this for a few hours, but I'm pretty sure that those batches only take 4 to 6 weeks because of their size. If you were making a batch at home, you likely wouldn't be doing it by the gallon as she is, so the time it takes for the soap to solidify would be shorter.
@thexmario You do not have to wait 4-6 weeks if you use the Hot process soap method, only a few days until it hardens. In Hot process everyting is heated in one pot at the same time. The lye water is not seperate and then mixed. The soap neutralizes quicker by Hot process.
