Step By Step How To Make Soap

Every day we showered, and certainly in the bath we use soap, either solid or liquid soap.

Of course we also want to know, how to make the soap.

Well this time Handicrafts Home Industry presents how to create solid or bath soap bars.
Here we go, first we collect Materials needed:

- Oil or Fat - Almost all of the oil / natural fat can be made into soap. Find easy just like: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil ...
- NaOH / KOH - To change the oil / fat into soap. Could buy in a store chemicals, take a technical course.
- Water - As the catalyst / solvent. Choose distilled water or bottled water. Water from Pam is not good, many containing minerals.
- Essential and Fragrance Oils - As fragrances. Buy in store or other chemicals.
- Dyes - For coloring soap. Can also use food coloring.
- Additives - Spices, herbs, talc, starch / cornstarch can be added when the "trace".

Once the materials we complete the next step we prepare the tools needed:

- A simple mask - Used for making a solution of NaOH / KOH alone.
- Glasses - Used for the manufacture of NaOH / KOH alone.
- A pair of rubber gloves - Used for making soap.
- Plastic bottles - for water containers.
- Kitchen scales (the smallest scale 1 or 5 grams).
- Small plastic bags - To weigh NaOH / KOH.
- Stainless steel spoon or plastic-polypropylene - To pour NaOH / KOH and stirred.
- Containers of glass or plastic-polypropylene - To place a solution of NaOH / KOH with water.
- Containers of plastic - To weigh and where water and oil.
- Cain - To close the mold after it is soap.
- Thin plastic - To coat the mold.
- Mold - soap mold for printing according to your taste.
- Blender with lid.
- Cain - To close the blender.

Okay, after all the materials and equipments are complete following Directions:

Here is a simple recipe to make natural soap:
Ingredients:

Recipe # 1 - solid soap

- Olive Oil 235 g
- Coconut Oil 150 g
- 100 g Palm Oil
- 74 g NaOH - Sodium hydroxide + 210 g water
- 10 + cc fragrance dye

(Process At Room Temperature)


Recipe # 2 - solid soap

- Palm Oil 250 g
- Coconut Oil 140 g
- 100 g Corn Oil
- 75.5 g NaOH - Sodium hydroxide + 210 g water
- 10 + cc fragrance dye

(Process At Room Temperature)

    Weigh the water and NaOH / KOH, according to the recipe. Dissolve NaOH / KOH into the water cool / cold (Do not use aluminum containers. Use stainless steel, pyrex glass or plastic-poliproplen). Do not pour water into NaOH / KOH. Pour the NaOH / KOH into the water little by little. Higga stir to dissolve. First of all the solution will be hot and whitish. Once everything is dissolved, in a safe place to be cooled to room temperature. Will obtain a clear solution.
    Weigh oil (Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil ...) according to the recipe.
    Pour oil was weighed into a blender.
    Carefully pour the solution in NaOH / KOH into the oil.
    Put cover blender, put the cloth on top of the cover was to avoid splashing and processes at the lowest round. Lest Avoid splashing into your face or body. Stop the blender and check the soap to see the stage "trace". "Trace" is a condition in which the soap has been formed and is the end of the mixing process. The sign is when the soap mixture begins to thicken. When touched with a spoon, then spoon a few seconds before the former still made an impression, that's why it is called "trace".
    At the time of "trace" before you can add fragrances, dyes or additives. Stir a few seconds then stop round blender.
    Pour the soap results into a mold. Cover with a cloth for insulation. Keep the soap in the mold last for one to two days. Then remove it from the mold, cut to taste. Keep at least 3 weeks before use.


* Explanation of how the number 1 for safety.
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) / Sodium Hydroxide / lye / caustic soda / caustic soda is the main ingredient in the manufacture of soap other than oil. Through a chemical reaction, NaOH changed the oil or fat into soap. Addition of NaOH is also necessary to make shampoo and body lotion.
In making lye (NaOH + water), there are some things that should be considered include:

    Use long sleeves, goggles, masks and rubber gloves. Precautionary principle - attention is necessary because the fluid can cause blindness if splashed in eyes, or cause a burning sensation on the skin when. Also provide vinegar, this is to anticipate when the skin is exposed to the alkaline liquid.
    Do it in an open space, such as in a park or in a place that has free air. Do not breathe the air that comes out of this solution.
    Always include into the water (slowly) and not vice versa. If you do otherwise, would result in outbreaks that are dangerous to skin and eyes.
    Keep out of reach of children - children / do not involve children - children at all.
