Liquid Soap Recipes
Note: Please use the instructions on Soap class #2 as your guide for the following recipes. Please be aware that liquid soaps use potassium hydroxide and bar soaps use sodium hydroxide. If you would like to enhance the quality of these basic recipes, please refer to Soap class #3 for a list of additives.
Please keep in mind the following when making your liquid soaps:
1. If you choose to use the alcohol/lye method to make your soap, you will need to add 20 oz. ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to the oils and lye solution.
2. You will also need to neutralize the soap. To do this, add 4 1/2 oz. of a 20% boric or citric acid solution, or 4 1/2 oz. of a 33% borax solution (9 Tablespoons). If you used borax in your recipe as a thickener, you will not have to use neutralizers.

Instructions:
Get together two different saucepans. One will be used for your oil phase, and one will be used for your water phase. Set your fragrance aside. Heat all of the oils together in a saucepan until they reach 165 degrees. At the same time, heat all of the water phase ingredients until they reach 165 degrees. Make sure that the borax is thoroughly dissolved. Pour the heated oil mixture into a bowl and mix with a hand mixer on low speed, slowly adding the water mixture to it. Increase the speed to speed level 2. Add your fragrance oils and mix at a faster speed a little while longer. Pour lotion into jars. If you desire to make a thinner lotion, simply increase the water amount or the amount of one of your soft oils. |
