It is easy to make liquid soap, and it has a lot of different uses besides the bar soap that most people make.
Liquid soap is fun and easy, and you can use it to wash anything around the house, bar none.
Make liquid soap if you want to wash clothing, clean dishes, clean counters, clean bathrooms, or wash your body more effectively. Making liquid soap is fun, and it looks very cool.
If you’re comfortable with the process of cold process soap making, then you can make liquid soap.
The stark difference between bar soaps and liquid soaps is the alkali used to saponify the oils.
All soaps, whether they are bar-based soaps or liquid soaps, begin with a simple chemical reaction that takes place between oils and alkali. Bar soaps use sodium hydroxide, and liquid soaps use potassium hydroxide. Liquid soaps are a bit more complicated for beginners, but that shouldn’t deter you from making them.
A basic recipe includes sunflower oil, coconut oil, potassium hydroxide, distilled water or soft water for the inclusion of the lye mixture, boric acid, fragrance or essential oil, and soap dye or colorant if you want to make it look a certain way.
You’ll also need some basic tools for mixing up the lye, a large crock pot, a thermometer, scale, some measuring cups, a stick blender, a potato masher, and a flat whisk. You’ll also need a lot of patience to see it through. If you don’t have the patience, you’ll never see it through.
You can also make liquid soap using one existing bar of soap. Simply grate one bar of spa, and place the grated soap in a cup of boiling water. Add in honey and glycerin. Cool the mixture, and whip it up again. Add cold water, and whip the mixture again. Put it in a storage container, and then use a pump dispenser to dispense the soap regularly. This is the poor man’s method of making liquid soap. Anyone can do it, and it’s simple and fun. You’ll need a grater, and be careful not to let your hand get cut on the grater when you’re making the soap. If you get your hand cut on the grater, then you’ll have blood red soap. If you want a red color without bleeding into it, just use a red colorant or dye to make the soap red.
