How does transparent soap come from?

-

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 phase, you just probably did not pay attention to it. This moment is crucial in making transparent soaps. At that point, solvents are added: alcohol, glycerol and aqueous solution of sugar. These solvents hold the soap mass in the colloid state and suppress the development of large crystals. Transparent soaps contain crystals but are so small that light waves can pass through the soap. Transparency is defined as the ability to read 14-point letters through the thickness of 0.25 inches (about 6 mm) soap.

Basic recipe for transparent 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...
