Types of Soaps (Different Making Process & Different Usage)
Feb
In the last blog post, we talked about how to make your own soap. Today, let’s talk about the different types of soaps.
(See how to make eco soap from used cooking oil for details of the making process.)
Glycerin Soap
Glycerin is a component of oil or fat. Any handmade soap contains glycerin, a byproduct of the chemical reaction of the soap-making process. Unlike most commercial soaps, glycerin is being purposely removed by the manufacturer to sold for other product making usage like cosmetic or moisturizer.
Transparent Soap
Made by hot process method. Usually added some form of alcohol to make it transparent. Sugar syrup (sugar in distilled water) is an alternative ingredient to replace alcohol but not as effective as alcohol. Some of the manufacturers in the market use a ready-made soap base to make their transparent soaps.
Liquid Soap
Making process is more complicated than soap bar. Usually made with the hot process method. It becomes liquid form due to a different type of lye (potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide) is use in the making process and also due to more water is added.
