Soap

The recipe for transparent soaps does not come in mathematics as with other soaps. This recipe is somewhat cured and obtained by trying. That's why this information was valuable and not long available. The Internet does wonders so this information came up. The first part of the receptacle that covers the amount of fat, alkaline and water is standard and counted on the soap calculator. Fat types are defined in transparent soaps and fat variation possibilities are reduced to just how much fat you put and what are the reasons for such a process. This recipe is basic because it uses the same amount of palm oil, coconut oil and castor oil. The second part of the receptacle is one that refers to the amount of solvent. For this part of math recipe does not work and quantities are gained experiential. Someone tried a long time and made a lot of mistakes to get this recipe. If you are cooking larger quantities of soap than the ones I have mentioned, simply multiply all the ingredients wi...

If you are going to make transparent soaps, it would be good if you already had some experience in making soaps. At least you made cold soap. Making transparent soaps is the most complicated process in making soaps and certainly not something to start. In essence it all comes down to the recipe process and it is not impossible for a novice to bring it out. Everything is possible! However, to understand and master the whole technique, you need certain experience, understanding and knowledge. Only then will it become an adventure through which you are learning and enjoying! The process of making transparent soaps coincides with one part with a cold process of soap making. A detailed description of the cold process is described in the "Soap Making Process". You should follow all the initial steps to point 8, ie until the soap mass is mixed with a rod mixer and traces it. When you perform point 8, you are ready for a process that will lead you to transparent soaps. The continua...

The game of light makes transparent soaps the most beautiful among all the soaps! Transparent soaps consist of crystals that stop in their growth and sunlight can penetrate through the soap. During saponification, each soap passes through the colloidal phase. Colloid is similar to gel, made up of larger molecules, but small enough to remain suspended in a liquid medium without deposition at the bottom. As soap cools, long fibrous crystals begin to develop. These crystals are increasing, they become more and more and more overlap. The light rays can no longer pass through the soap, the translucency (transparency) of the colloid condition disappears and the soap becomes mutant. Transparent soap is made by a warm process. The procedure is quite the same as any other soap obtained by the hot process. The difference is only in one moment, and that is when the soap passes into the colloidal phase. All the soaps during the preparation pass through the colloidal phas...

Transparent soaps are the most beautiful thing you can do when making soaps. Flower Among Soaps! This would be a pinnacle of skills in making soaps. The problem with these soaps was the lack of information. Transparent soaps do not have a long history and are made only for two hundred years. Compared to classic soaps it is very short since people have been making soaps for two thousand years. Companies that managed to make transparent soap kept the recipe as a business secret. That is why it is no surprise that until recently there were no recipes or guidelines for making these soaps. What might have existed was confusing and they always falsified certain parts of the process. Only in the recent times somehow they began to circulate information. On the internet you can find enough information for a solid start. That's how I started. I am sure that my experience will serve many people and that the matter will be further developed. I do not believe in keeping information and therefo...

Soap has cleaned us for centuries, but few people understand what is actually happening. When your soap is an important food item in the household and rely on it, I think it is important to clear up with the principle of soap cleansing. The principle of cleansing lies in the molecular structure of water, oils and soaps. Water is a bipolar molecule. One of its ends, two hydrogen atoms, is positively charged; the other end, the oxygen atom, is negative. This bipolar nature gives the water the character of cohesion or mutual attraction between the water molecule. This feature is most noticeable when the drinking glass is filled with water to the top. The water is actually standing over the edge without spilling. The mutual attractiveness of a water molecule makes water incompatible with oil. This is because the oil has an electrical charge that is uniform. In oil there are no positive and negative poles of the molecule. In order to connect the water and the oil, it is necessary to look s...

Before entering warm process it would be good to master the basic process of making soap (cold process). The essence of the warm process is that you finish the saponification by cooking, not by drying as in a cold process. The cold process is better in the sense that highly valuable oil ingredients remain preserved and are not destroyed by thermal treatment. In the event of liquid soap must apply hot process. These pictures and process were written just when I was making liquid soap. Hot-prepared soaps are immediately ready for use. Cold process are exactly the same moment to mix a solution of the base, and distilled water. In a hot process, you can already mix it in an inox pot where you will cook. This means that prepared and washed oils are immediately put into an inox cooking pot and added to the solution of the base. So add the solution to the oil, not the reverse. You do not have to wait for temperature equalization as in the cold procedure, as everything is still cooked. With ...

Adding fat to soap is an important procedure if you want to alleviate the effect of soap and utilize the properties of high quality oils. Such a process will also alleviate the pH of the soap produced. Keep in mind that greasy soaps are less clean, softer, but are more comfortable for the skin. When making soap, in soap always add fat by calculating the discount. To make the soap acceptable for the skin, this procedure is indispensable. Calculation of discounted prescriptions is the standard method for making soaps and all about discounting discount calculations is described in the "Calculation of Ingredients" section. There is another way of adding fat soap that is by adding fat when mixing the soap trace. The scrubbing process by adding trace oil will work when you want to further soften the soap and utilize the properties of high quality oils. In other words, the base will not spoil those high-grade oils that you added later on. Before that you...

Sometimes we are not happy with how the soap has dropped or we do not like the color or the scent is too weak. Of course soap for this we will not throw it but we will fix it. And maybe we just want to just beautify it. This method is called Rebatching. Procedure The soap that we think we make redraw. Grate the apples grater. We drink water, tea, milk, coconut milk ..... If the soap is just made (a couple of days) we add 5-10% of the amount of soap liquid. If older (10 or more days) we add 15-20% of the amount of soap liquid depending on age. We stir well with the cooker, let it stand a little and put in a rheum 80-90ºC. We mix occasionally. When the soap dissolves add the scent, color, plants or whatever we want. Is poured into the mold after 24 hours and cut. Soap can also be melted in the microwave, but I do not like this way because it is very hot, or by cooking on a pair. If you are working with a soap that is older or has already matured, it is ready for use ...

Basic Aids precise grammar scale If you do not have a precise grammar scale you will have to invest in this camera because it is absolutely necessary. Forget the odometric measurement, glasses or the like. There are no soaps in soaps. It is important precision and patience. water bowl weighing bowl (minimum) oil bowl The weighing bowl is a small plastic bowl. The water bowl can be medium to small size, it does not need to be large. The largest bowl is for oil. It's not like me, but if you're buying new bowls for this purpose, take 3 bowls of different sizes from small to big. They need to be of a temperature-resistant plastic. These bowls will no longer be able to be used for food for this purpose. Buy them in different colors, not like me (I have oil and water the same). First wash them with white octo and only later normal. plastic cooker The plastic cooker is a much better choice than wood because it is easier to clean. stick blender thermometer for high tempera...

One of the most important things when preparing soap is preparing a mold. You need to consider the dimensions of the soap you want to get. The internet has a number of ideas for making square molds. This version is my contribution or rather my husband's contribution. When he saw me thinking of making a wooden mold, he offered his help and made such a work. She poured a box of two soaps of soap. It is convenient because when making a soap you can make two different soaps of the same mixture in one round. The square mold is important because it allows you to create soap types of "cake layers". This way you can get interesting and beautiful layered soaps. It is the basic shape of the mold and definitely needs it. The entire box has a fixed lower and two minor lateral surfaces. Other lateral and median surfaces are covered. This option is very useful in removing soap from the mold. The length of the mold (the longest page) I adjusted the length of the roll of greasy paper....

Before the soap preparation process you have to have a recipe. I recommend not to use a recipe that is full of internet. By using ready-made recipes you will not be able to adjust the ingredients to the amount you have. Also, you will not be able to change the existing recipe and enhance it for your taste. I recommend you invest a little effort to understand recipe ingredients. This will open up a large creation space for soap making. You can easily make a recipe, but to do that you need to understand some of the most basic facts. How to get a recipe is described in the "Calculating Ingredients" section. When you figure out how to count the ingredients, you can go to the soap calculator. The soap calculator will calculate all the required ingredients of the prescription and you will not have to walk on foot. Although the soap calculator will perform the toughest job of computing the ingredients in the recipe, it is most important for you to understand the overall calculatio...

The calculation of the ingredients is used to create a recipe for making the soap. I recommend that you do not use cookies that are full of internet. By using ready-made recipes you will not be able to adjust the ingredients to the amount you have. Also, you will not be able to change the existing recipe and enhance it for your taste. I recommend you invest a little effort to understand recipe ingredients. This will open up a large creation space for soap making.  Calculating ingredients can be done manually or using a  soap calculator . This article will describe how a handheld calculation is used using a table. It is very important to understand this handy method of calculating the ingredients because it will give you a true insight into the whole process. So do not skip this section, but read it. You must master the manual calculations and understand all the concepts related to it. Later you will not count manually, but you will use a  soap calculator . He will...

Essential oils are used for the scent of soaps. Essential oils are not just for scent. They are both healing. How you determine smells and direct your healing depends on your knowledge of essential oils and imagination. Aromatherapy is a great and interesting area. The practice is to place 10 to 30 ml of essential oil on a kilogram of fat, depending on the intensity we want to achieve. Somehow we all stand about 10 ml, or one bottle per kilo of fat. Basically, that measure is enough. The soaps smell good, neither too much nor too much. After all, essential are often the most expensive part of soap making and so we save them. You must be interested in buying essential oils and whether they are right. For a small bottle of essential oil you need huge amounts of plant material. For example, for one liter of essential rose oil you need 4-5 tons of rose petals. So that oil could be cheap. The situation is similar with other plants. Rose oil, mother-of-pearl, jasmine, ylang-ylang, c...

When you are making soap, you will want to make a nice soap. Soap naturally has a shade of beige color and you will surely want to slightly refresh and revive it. The possibilities are great, but the appearance should not call into question the nature of the soap. So you do it yourself, to make it a completely natural and healthy product. It is a pity to ruin it with chemical dyes. Even nutritional colors are considered chemicals because they are in their composition and they are. It's not just clear why they are called "nutritional". Well-known "Lush" soaps are used in these nutritional colors, because they are better sold with soap. My criteria are more rigorous and nutritional color is not a good choice. What is first imposed is the natural colors obtained from plants, fruits and vegetables. My experience has shown me that this is not the luckiest solution. Especially not for the cold soap making process. The problem is that in the cold process at the ti...

Sodium hydroxide, sodium bases, caustic soda are the terms used for this compound of the chemical formula NaOH. It is a poisonous and corrosive alkali that you can usually find in the drainage means. For making soaps, you never buy that base in that shape. To make soaps, you are purchasing NaOH purity 98 - 99% in the form of leaf or granules. Granules and leaflets dissolve in water and release a large amount of heat even up to 95º C. It reacts with aluminum, the glass sags. It does not react with plastic and iron, so all vessels and accessories must be plastic or stainless steel - stainless steel. Dangers NaOH is a toxic and corrosive alkali, causes burns, injuries and permanent scars, it irritates the lungs and eyes and can lead to blindness. Drinking can literally burn the stomach. There is no antidote if you come into contact with the lye. Therefore, you must be disciplined and always adhere to certain rules of protection and handling. No exceptions, and you must always use...

Fats (oils and fats) are the essential ingredient of soap and their properties depend on the quality of the soap. At the beginning of each prescription, we begin by knowing the quantities and types of fat we will use. By saponification factor (SAP from table), for each fat we can calculate the required amount of base (either sodium or potassium). Apart from the saponification factor, we examine and select other properties of certain fat, eg saturation, soap, skin care and hardness. What does a saturation or iodine value mean? This is in fact a measure of the saturation of an individual oil or fat. It is a measure of how much iodine centigrade can collapse per gram of oil or fat. Saturated fat has low iodine value and unsaturated fat has high iodine value. There are a few exceptions, but usually iodine fat is made with softer soaps. Fats with low iodine values give stronger soaps. To make the soap hard enough it takes 50-60% of saturated fat. When combining di...
