Embark on a Journey through the World of Saponification

Together, we will dive deep into the world of saponification, essential oils, and soap molds – taking you through the interesting journey of transforming everyday soap ingredients into a bundle of cleansing joy.

The Chemistry Behind Soap Making

First things first, let's immerse ourselves in the wonderful science of saponification. This is the backbone of the DIY Soap Making process. For the uninitiated, saponification is the chemical reaction that turns ordinary soap ingredients into extraordinary handmade soap. Typically, it involves the reaction of lye (also known as sodium hydroxide) with a fat or oil to create soap and glycerin. The lye is completely used up in this process, ensuring your resulting soap is absolutely safe and gentle on your skin. However, the art of safe soap making demands precision – your proportions need to be exact. Thankfully, our DIY Soap Making Kit Experiment guide includes requisite details and easy-to-comprehend soap making recipes to help you.

Choosing the Right Ingredients for Your Handmade Soap
