How Liquid Soap is Made
How I Make Liquid Castile Soap (from scratch)
Originally this video on how liquid soap (castile soap) is made at MamaSuds was created in the summer of 2015. It is the highest viewed post ever on our blog!
Two things I learned while making this video. 1) My blender made a lot more noise on the video than it does in person. Sometimes the blender is heard over my voice, but I promise I don't say anything life changing. 2) I say the word AND too much. Which is better than saying the word UM, but I am aware of it and I'll try to practice. <---- I call myself out on this only because I KNOW someone else will :). So if you are into soap making, want to see what goes into making MamaSuds Castile Soap- which is in the Body Wash, All Purpose Cleaner and Laundry Soap. It's the very first MamaSuds product. Grab your popcorn and your Junior Mints, it's a nail biter! How to make liquid castile soap....
Is there lye in your soap?
• To create soap, it needs only three ingredients: water (or other liquid), fat and lye.
• Most products on the shelves of grocery stores are not true soaps as they use surfactants instead of lye.
• Surfactants can be drying and irritating to the skin and are commonly found in detergents, soaps and body washes.
• MamaSuds® uses just three ingredients when making liquid castile soap: Olive oil, lye and water.
