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.
