Soap

There is no such thing as a soap tree or soap plant, so therefore there is no such thing as natural soap. After all, a basic definition of natural is "present in or produced by nature". Soap does not qualify, therefore, as "natural". So how is it justifiable to call some soap natural? Here's how it works: the two ingredients necessary for soap are oil and lye.

Oil is natural and lye can be derived from nature, thus soap when made in it's most simple form is considered natural. So, if no synthetic fragrances, preservatives and colors are used, it will be considered "natural soap".

Making soap

There are several different soap making processes that will allow you to easily make homemade soap products. The first soap making method is cold process soap making. This process requires a scale, a large stainless steel pot, measuring cups, kitchen thermometers, rubber gloves, mold, cardboard, plastic bags, olive oil, coconut oil, shortening, lye, distilled water, and fragrances. The cold process gets its name from the general low temperatures that are used to mill this type of soap.

Once you’ve chosen your soap molds, you’re ready to get started. Boil the glycerin soap base. At this stage, if you want to add an essential oil or soap fragrance, just stir it in; if you want to color the soap, go ahead and stir in the dye to give the color you want. Pour the mixture into the mold that will give you the shape you want. Let the mold cool, before you remove the bar of soap.

Colloidal silver soaps

Colloidal silver soaps can be used for all group ages without any restrictions whatsoever. Even the daily new born baby hygiene can be done with this special kind of soaps. In order for the product to be efficient it must be used at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening before going to bed so that all the accumulated toxic or harmful elements at the skin surface be eliminated for good.

CONCLUSION

Learning how to make hot process soap is not difficult. In fact this ancient process of soap making goes back centuries. The most difficult part about making hot process soap is getting it out of the molds.
