BATH SOAP / TOILET SOAP (Opaque)

Materials/Ingredients (for 14 bars, 135 g/bar)

  • Refined coconut oil - 4.5 kg
  • Caustic soda solution (32 deg. Be) - 3.25 kg
  • EDTA (Ethylene diaminetetracetate) - 70 g
  • Citric acid - 70 g
  • Sodium chloride - 4.5 g
  • CDEA (Coco diethanolamide) - 50 g
  • Light mineral oil - 70 g
  • Scent to suit
  • Color (optional)

Equipment/Tools

  • Pails - 16 L cap. (2 pcs); 20 L cap. (1 pc)
  • Basin (large)
  • Hydrometer - 0 - 70oBaume
  • Weighing scales - 10 kg cap.; 500 g cap.
  • Mold and cutter
  • Wooden stirrer/manual or electric mixer
  • Spatula, stainless

Preparation of Materials

1. Caustic soda solution, 32oBe: Dissolve 0.855 kg of caustic soda (NaOH) in 2.4 kg water. Cool to room temperature. Check the concentration with the hydrometer. Adjust if necessary and filter if needed before using.

2. Additives: Dissolve EDTA, citric acid and salt in 100 mL water. For color, make a 1% solution. Add color in oil.

Preparation of the Soap

  1. Weigh carefully the required quantity of coco oil. To make a colored soap, add about 10 mL of the 1% color in oil solution or the amount to suit the desired intensity of color.
  2. Add the required amount of caustic soda with stirring until the condensed milk-like consistency is attained. This usually takes 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Add the dissolved additives and continue stirring for 5 minutes more.
  4. Add the light mineral oil, CDEA and scent. Stir for another 5 minutes.
  5. Pour the soap mixture into the moulder. Let it stand at room temperature for 12 hours or until soap solidifies.
  6. Remove soap from the moulder and cut into desired size.
  7. Stamp and pack. Allow to age for about 7 days to complete the saponification.

    The free recipe above is highly informative.

    In a continent like Africa where CDEA and EDTA is unavailable, and you have only minimal items (PKO, Caustic Soda, Salt, Sodium Silicate, Perfume & Colour) available, What recipe will you suggest ?
