Below we explain how we make soap by cold process and
caustic soda, NO caustic potash. As main ingredient

good. We have not tried to dregs, so I do not know how to do or if
yet can be made by cold process. As far as I have heard, for
dregs using the hot method.
The recipe is simple and we

is to recycle oil, that does tossed in
garbage and for reasons of economy. There is no need to buy

The recipe step by step
For a liter of oil, we need normally 135gr caustic soda. The
This number is not random. If you go to this website, has
values needs a gr oil to be converted to soap, with
caustic soda. If you see the line indicating the oil, They are
0.135. So about a pound (1000gr) we need 1000gr * 0.135 = 135gr
Pour first the caustic soda in the water and not vice versa!!! If
take water in caustic soda will explode / launch

Slowly add caustic soda to the water and mix with
our ladle, slowly, not to splash the fluid on us.
As you drop the soda, will find that the temperature of the liquid,
goes up. Is normal. Once you take all the soda and dissolved
in the water, allow the solution to come to room temperature. If
hurry, Take a larger pot than you have the solution of
caustic soda, pour some cold water, and place the container
solution, in cold water, to freeze faster.
As long as caustic soda, cools you "clean" oil will
use. Strain the, through a cloth, to remove
any debris.
To mix the oil with caustic soda, these two should be
They are at the same temperature, about 28 with 40 βαθμούς. If you
let both, for a long time in the same place and have caught the
room temperature and you know that the temperature

do something else. Therefore above, mentioned, to make a
sunny summer day, as the summer, we certainly
temperatures above 28 βαθμούς.
After the liquids, They have the same temperature, pour into the oil
solution of caustic soda and start stirring. If
use a simple scoop, then it will take you some time, it can
over an hour. Using a hand mixer will be
much faster, but you have to watch again not

After the mixture is ready, we can take our molds.

Your soap, should remain for at least one to two months
in a cool and shady place to dry. Still early to
use, because mid still has the caustic soda and
irritate your skin. As time goes by, caustic soda will "evaporate" and
now your soap will be ready.
Personally I have tried to frequent washing hands and body bath, with
very good results. Besides that cleans very well, end leaves
