This liquid soap is my second pot. The recipe completely refers to the transparent liquid soap recipe shared by a foreign handmade soap teacher (Youtube) * Tina Moenck , which is mainly a combination of olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil.

While I was making this liquid soap, it really feels like I am preparing to make a beauty product for the imperial concubines in the palace, so it takes so much time and work. Compared with cold sodium soap (solid soap), the time it takes to make soap is about 2~3 times. It takes a long time to use a high percentage of olive oil. Soaping for so many years, it is the first time to have this panic of *"I don't know where the end is"XDDD.

First two and a half hours, there was basically no change in the oil-water separation state. The good shows are concentrated in the last hour, and the soap will change significantly. In order to express my feelings, I also included music in the documentary, but because it takes too much time to upload if the video is too long, and I don’t want to take up the time of the viewers, the video is not enough to express the first half. The slow tortoise speed of the segment.

Smear "Frankincense" while resting to increase endurance, and then pick up my egg beater to continue fighting. This time I played for 3.5 hours, and the sliding door of the soap room was opened and closed several times without knowing it.

But the hard work is worthwhile. I really like the finished product. Just after dissolving and adding essential oils to thicken the bottle, the soap liquid is crystal clear and light golden yellow. The essential oils make the soap liquid produce a lot of cute little bubbles. The whole bottle is very Like the colorful droplets that I loved when I was a kid. Turning it upside down and upside down over and over again, it is fascinating to watch, like relive the fun of childhood, in short it is great :). But these small bubbles will disappear after one day, and the soap will return to normal.

Liquid soap/potassium soap making ( DIY ) 2nd -Olive castor transparent beauty liquid soap

Olive oil is the classic and best choice for making handmade soap. Foreign countries call handmade soap made of olive oil "castile soap", which means 100% pure castile soap. Castile is an ancient kingdom in Spain, rich in olives. In the early days of Europe, castile soap was a very precious high-end luxury item that only the royal family could enjoy.

In the field of Western magic , olives are also a symbol of a crop that absorbs the energy of the "sun" and has the effect of praying. The color of olive oil is also golden and clear. The soap liquid made from a high percentage of olive oil is matched with the makeup of "the transparent master in oil" castor oil. The color is natural and elegant, and it is quite temperament ^^.

Returning to use, it’s more important to be easy to use. Handmade soap, whether it is potassium soap or sodium soap, will have the problem of soap scum. Washing and bathing is relatively no problem. If it is to be used for shampooing, the formula and method of use (knowledge) are quite important. It is not a good shampoo if it is made randomly. I think it looks like a normal shampoo after the potassium soap is thickened, but without chemical foaming and foam stabilizers, then washing is completely different. (You can search the Internet and many netizens share how to use liquid soap to wash your hair.) I tried it once and still found it more convenient to use sodium soap.

The advantage of sodium soap is that it is milder and moisturizing. It is usually made with reduced alkali or super fat, and contains more unsaponified free fatty acids.
Potassium soap is relatively refreshing, and there are not too many restrictions on the addition of raw materials. It is convenient to add essential oils and does not reduce the aroma and effect of essential oils.
Many people who like to use handmade soap like to use liquid soap to shampoo their hair. However, this formula is not suitable for shampooing because of the high proportion of olive oil. Makes me a little disappointed with liquid soap shampoo. This is more suitable for washing your face. It is gentle and refreshing, and it is less irritating to the eyes when it is washed around the eyes.

Liquid soap (potassium soap) making tips and steps: please see the previous housework liquid soap

STEP 1: Prepare lye and oil for heating

Read the details : housework liquid soap

STEP 2: Start soaping

You can watch the video demonstration first to get an overview of the production process.



Usually I use PURE grade olive oil to make soap. As long as the oil is fresh, the quality of the soap is not bad.

oliveliquidsoap-1

Same like making household liquid soaps - the first half of a small fire heating, temperature below 80 ℃. Turn off the heat when the temperature is high, and turn on again when it is cold.

oliveliquidsoap-2

In the state when it turns to be like "thicken rice soap", it is best to turn off the heat and not reheat it, so as not to burst out (very dangerous).
Compared with housework soap, coconut oil and soybean oil, the soap is more delicate, and the final cream (Figure 8) is dense and smooth.

oliveliquidsoap-3

↓ finally stirred to stir stationary way, preparing into insulation.

oliveliquidsoap-4

STEP 3: Keep soap paste warm

In principle, the insulation is kept 24 hours a day.
Soap paste with a high proportion of olive oil should be kept in a box. Or using electric pot will be better for its saponification.

oliveliquidsoap-5

↓ 1 day after incubation, like when the insulation is removed from the soap box group, not transparent.

oliveliquidsoap-6

↓ The soap paste / jelly gum is still white and hard after 3 days, very similar to the quality of shea butter, which means that the saponification progress required for the first stage of keep-warm step has not been completed. Some people say that it will naturally become transparent when left at room temperature, but I think as my case this paste is very likely to be the same look, because the first stage of saponification ( keep-warm step ) is lack of enough heat for the oil reaction.

I first dig a small piece of it, heat it over water, pour some RO water into the pot, flatten it with a spoon and stir evenly so that the soap balls are mixed to warm water.
After stirring for about an hour, cover the pot and steam for 40 minutes.

Then it becomes * yellow and soft, and it's probably OK. Then put it in the incubator with a thicker cover for heat preservation.

※This recipe is more suitable for heat preservation of electric discharge pot or smoldering pot. It should be possible to save this hour of stirring.

oliveliquidsoap-7


↓ After seven days becomes slightly more transparent soap groups that Q soft elastic comparison. Roughly, most of the saponification reaction in the first stage has been completed.

oliveliquidsoap-8

STEP 4: Soap paste / jelly gum dissolution test (MUG TEST)

When the first stage of saponification is completed (heating until the soap paste / jelly gum is transparent), you can test the dissolution of the soap paste / jelly gum first to see if the soap made this time is successful. Observe the transparency of the soap. If it is very foggy, not clear, or has insoluble suspended matter, it may be too alkaline or less alkaline.

Liquid soap is easier to fix problems compared with solid soap (sodium soap), there is less worry about failure.

Measure the pH value:soap paste (pH10) and foam (pH8) should be between 7-8, which is very close to 7.
Measuring foam wash feeling:the foam is dense and soft like a mousse, a bit astringent.

oliveliquidsoap-10

STEP 5: Put the 【soap paste jelly gum】 in the shade for 2 weeks

This step is to allow 【soap paste jelly gum】 to continue to saponify and make the saponification more complete.
Freshly made 【soap paste jelly gum】 can actually be used, but the pH will be a little higher, which will hurt your hands. The pH is not much different, but I think the washing feel is much worse. After a week of washing, it will not be so astringent.

Usually it is about 2 weeks, I infer that the high percentage of olive oil should be kept for more than a month before it works. If it is sodium soap, it is even better to leave it for more than half a year. However, liquid potassium soap is relatively intolerant and has a short shelf life. Even the undissolved soap mass should be used up within six months as much as possible.

【2020.5.9 update】This batch of [ soap paste jelly gum ] can be stored for more than three years according to the actual situation, and the quality is still normal. No compound preservatives are added inside. However, the bottles are all sterilized and washed with alcohol and then pure water. Any DIY skin care products must be sterilized before they can be stored for a long time. This is quite important.

oliveliquidsoap-11

STEP 6: Dissolve the [ soap paste jelly gum ] into liquid soap and start enjoying it~

[ soap paste jelly gum ] : RO water ≒ 2:1 ~ 3:1
Put Small pieces of [ soap paste jelly gum ] in the pot/box, pour into warm RO water, cover it and leave it for one day, it will dissolve by itself.
If you want to use it in a hurry, use a pot to heat and stir to dissolve.
The [ soap paste jelly gum ] of this formula is very soft, dissolves well in water, can be more soluble, and the consistency can be just right, so there is no need to use other materials to thicken it.

If you want to enhance the beauty effect, you can use *Floral water / Hydrosols / Hydrolats / loofah water* to dissolve it. Bottle as soon as possible after dissolution to avoid contamination. *The bottle must be disinfected first(75% medicinal alcohol and then rinse clean with RO water).

oliveliquidsoap-12

↓ dissolved just good soap, be very thick, the color is very beautiful, also very good transparency.
OK, success~

oliveliquidsoap-13

Thicken

After [ soap paste jelly gum ] is dissolved, even if it is 1:1, it is still very watery and inconvenient to use, so it is usually thickened.

Generally, thickening with saturated salt water is the best method. But because this is for skin/scalp care use, adding salt is not suitable. So I doubled the amount of [ soap paste jelly gum ] dissolved and added essential oils to thicken it.

When add in essential oils at first the thicken effect is obvious, and a lot of small bubbles are produced, which immediately become foggy. But after the next day, the bubbles disappeared and they were not so thick.

Soap for beauty purpose, is recommended to use * L- lactate (sodium L-lactate clear colorless liquid) to thicken, it has strong water absorption capacity, can be thickened, extend shelf, skin care effect. Do not use a lot, about 1/4 teaspoon for 100g soap is enough.


Add fragrance/essential oils/other additives

The soap recipe has a beauty and maintenance effect. It contains olive moisturizing squalene, castor oil's unique softening ingredient -ricinoleic alcohol, a large amount of moisturizing ingredient - ricinoleic acid, and many others. The oleic acid, glycerin (moisturizing) and so on.

olive01    Castor-seed-bean

So this liquid soap is easy to use without adding anything alone. The following recommended essential oils, moisturizing rose and sandalwood that help metabolism are not included. It is more suitable for skin care products or massage oils. :)
