Thats great! You have everything to make a soap bar.. do you have the basic know how of soap making? If not, there is plenty of information on net. Just Google how to make cold process soap.. and if you could buy a weighing scale that would be very helpful, as correct measurement of each...

Hi! Water, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and oils are the things you need to create soap bars. If you have access to a hard oil like coconut oil or palm oil and some soft oils like soybean oil,olive oil,etc, you can make simple bars by following basic procedures. People here are always...

Yes, i am the one using 85% pure KOH. And I think i am the only one here,using it.. but i calculated 0% superfat in soapcalc with only KOH(not selecting 90%) which gave exact amount that was needed for 85% pure KOH, at 3% superfat. :confused:
