Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Soap comes from a chemical reaction between various oils and fats and caustic soda (lye or NaOH), called saponification. Commercial soap is usually produced from tallow and other fats plus a variety of synthetic compounds which are added to produce the desired lather, texture and hardness of the finished bar. The mixture is boiled at high temperatures with the caustic soda until the process of saponification takes place. The soap is then grated (milled) and sent through a machine which compacts the soap very tightly to produce a hard bar. However, more additives are needed to give the soap the required amount of plasticity and to allow the soap to move through milling machinery.
