How to Make Liquid Soap At Home: recipe 2

Ingredients

10 ounces unrefined coconut oil
10 ounces olive oil
3 ounces rice bran oil
13 ounces other oil I use safflower and grapeseed oils if I’m making a body soap, or soybean oil if I’m making a dish or laundry soap
5.5 ounces sunflower oil
9 ounces lye (potassium hydroxide or KOH is the only type of lye we use for soapmaking)
25 ounces distilled water
60 ounces distilled water (for diluting the soap paste)
16 ounces liquid vegetable glycerine
3 ounces essential oil (more or less to your taste of essential oil or fragrance oil of your choice, lavender is my favorite)
natural colorant of your choice

Tools

compact slow cooker
kitchen scale
sticky blender
eyewear
Gloves used for producing soap
quarter-sized container
silicone spoon
A potato masher made of stainless steel

Step by Step Guide

The initial steps in making liquid soap are to cover your workspace with newspaper, provide adequate ventilation, and put on safety goggles and gloves. Before starting this project, make sure there are no children or pets running around.
Measure out your oils first, then add them to the crockpot. Recall that you need a scale (such as this one) since we are weighing all of the components in this recipe rather than measuring them by volume.
Melt all of the oils in your slow cooker by turning it to high. I start by cooking my ingredients in a smaller slow cooker, then as I start adding liquids, I switch to a larger one.
Fill a glass or stainless bowl with twenty-five ounces of the distilled water. After measuring the lye, gradually add it to the water while stirring—never the other way around. It’s typical for it to make groaning noises as it melts. Lye is necessary to manufacture this liquid soap; further information is provided below.
After combining, pour the lye/water combination into the oils. Blend the solutions by hand before beginning to use the immersion blender (stick blender). Don’t worry if the mixture seems lumpy and separates easily. After blending for roughly five minutes, take a step back.
After 30 to 60 minutes, cover and maintain on high, then reduce to low. This recipe for creating liquid soap requires no trace.
Continue returning occasionally to mix or stir. It will soon begin to take shape. About two hours later, it will resemble petroleum jelly in terms of transparency. It is now more difficult to work with because it is thick and sticky. To make it easier to mash, I use a potato masher made of stainless steel. You can test it once it appears to be cooked through and free of opaque areas.
To test, put a tiny tablespoon in some boiling water and give it a good swirl. Dissolving it all will take some time. You can move on to the dilution step if the water is clear. Cook it for a little while longer if it’s murky. Isn’t it enjoyable to discover how to manufacture liquid soap?

Dilution of Liquid Soap

You can dilute your soap paste when it has finished cooking.
Boil 60 ounces of water, but don’t let it boil. (Remember to weigh the object, not its volume.)
Add the vegetable glycerin in liquid form. Blend thoroughly.
Stir this mixture after adding it to the slow cooker, or mash it if necessary. Turn off low, cover, and move on. You can put it away for a couple of hours and then return to it. In order to leave it overnight, I like to complete this step in the evening.
Give the soap a good stir in the morning and give it about an hour to settle. The pure soap paste should float to the surface, revealing high-quality liquid soap beneath it. I spoon the nice stuff into pint or quart jars, pushing aside the thick material. Then, if I’d want, I may fragrance and color each one differently. Keep in mind that this recipe yields around 9 pints or 5 quarts, so evenly distribute the 3 ounces of essential oil and your natural colorants across all the jars. Indeed, you can use various colors and oils in each one. Finally, keep in mind to start with very little amounts of colorants and add more if desired. My favorite liquid soap learning activities were coloring and smells.
Make sure you always record what and how much you add. Even if I’ve made something a dozen times already, I document each batch and preserve all of my notes on 3×5 cards. I may then maintain consistency across batches or make changes as I see fit.
Turn off the heat and add a little more water to the thick material that’s left. By morning, everything should have been diluted if you leave this overnight. Add a little extra distilled water if necessary to get the desired consistency. To prevent it from becoming too thin, start with a very modest amount—one teaspoon.
