Would you like to learn how to make your own bar soap for laundry? This simple trick will allow you to create super foamy soap with just three ingredients.
It is an economical and efficient way to produce your own natural soap, perfect for keeping your clothes clean and fre
Ingredients
- Coconut oil (200 g)
- Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) (85 g)
- Distilled water (190 ml)
Preparation
- Prepare your workspace in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from caustic soda.
- Slowly pour the sodium hydroxide into the water (never the other way around) while mixing with a stainless steel spoon. The mixture will heat up quickly, so be careful. Let the solution cool to about 40°C.
- Melt the coconut oil in a pot over low heat. Once melted, let it cool to about 40°C, similar to the temperature of the caustic soda solution.
- Slowly pour the caustic soda solution into the melted coconut oil. Mix carefully with a hand mixer until the mixture reaches trace, that is, when it has a pudding-like consistency.
- Pour the soap mixture into silicone molds and cover with a towel to keep warm. Let sit for 24 hours for the soap to harden.
- Once the soap has hardened, remove it from the mold and place it in a dry and ventilated place. Let it cure for 4 to 6 weeks. This time allows saponification to complete and the soap to become more efficient at cleaning clothes.
