white soap/how?

[honor435]

I would really like to make some white soap, how do i do it? without adding bad chemicals?

lard, tallow, & coconut oil make white bars...

I have a really neat pdf that has pics of the oils & what their soapy whiteness is.

You can download it here (I uploaded it to our offroad website 8) )

Some have said that regular olive oil makes white soap.

just olive and lye, never made that.

Preventing gel by refrigerating and also adding Titanium dioxide can also help soap look more white.

Adding oat flour (or finely crushed) can make the soap more opaque and whiter. Maybe other flours too, haven't tried other flours yet.
