  • Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
  • Are you wondering what is the best oil combination of oils for your handmade cold process or hot process soap recipes? What are the main fatty acids in soap oils and what do they do? How to get a good lather? Long lasting bar? What do the ranges in Soapcalc and other soap calculators mean? If you are asking yourself any of these questions, then this video is for you!
    Through this video presentation I explain:
    * The eight most common fatty acids found in oils and fats used for soap making
    * The qualities of each fatty acid in terms of:
    Saturated or unsaturated, lathering ability, cleansing properties, hardness and longevity, speed of saponification, examples of oils.
    * What makes the best soap?
    * What else is important?
    * Soap calc ranges explained
    * Further reading and resources

    Massively helpful orientation to what the oils are all about; I have been wanting to get informed now that I e made my first 4 batches! Which I made thanks to you, Elly! And used your oil percentages to start from your beginner’s video. You are such a natural born teacher - clear and simple, yet tackling the complexities - and I experience you as guileless and kind and genuine and in earnest and your integrity shines through as well as a good heart. It’s gems like you that make the Internet a better place! Thank you for your efforts and generosity in gathering and sharing your knowledge in video as well as putting it in written form on your website! I will be the first to buy your books when they come out! Hint hint. :-) Anybody else agree?
