Soap is made through a process called saponification, which involves the reaction between fats or oils and an alkali solution. The fats and alkali are heated together and mixed to form soap and glycerol. Fragrances and colors can be added to the soap to make it smell good.
Soap is made through a process called saponification, which involves the reaction between fats or oils and an alkali solution.
Traditionally, animal fats or plant oils were used along with a strong alkali like lye.
The fats and alkali are heated together and mixed to form soap and glycerol.
The soap is then separated and purified through filtration and washing.
Finally, fragrances and colors can be added to the soap to make it smell good.
