If you want to skip the math skip to 2:38. This video assumes the viewer knows the basics of making soap and follows basic safety precautions. We dig deep into a recipe I formulated for maximum cleaning power. I hope you're not afraid of math because I show you how I calculated it... but no worries, just copy the recipe even if you don't want to understand the math. :).
Although I think this recipe is great, there are many other good recipes out there; that others have formulated, so keep on experimenting! Practice makes progress. :)
I generally never use soap so soon after making, but wanted to test out the early version for the video. I would recommend a four week cure before giving as gifts, or selling.
