    Yeah it’s pretty easy, if you can cook macaroni and cheese you can make soap. However making your own recipes is a challenge since oils have like six different properties you need to balance. Protip: use pure lye crystals, Drano has titanium salts that are bad for your skin.
    It’s also a fricking stupid hobby for hippy women. But you should at least consider making your own deodorant since the aluminum salts they put in most brands will eventually give you Alzheimers. Making shaving soaps to use with a straight razor is a great way to flex on normies too.

      I don't shave so I don't need shaving soaps.
      I just want to make some soap for fun, as i understand it I can basically use any water based liquid and any fat, which sounds fun.

        Any fat can turn into a soap. My first one was vegetable (palm) oil from a supermarket. It turned into a rancid pile of crap, but it was soap.
        If you use olive oil or coconut oil/butter you’ll be golden. Depending on what else you’ll add it’ll either be lathery or bubbly, or if you’re a little baby princess you can make bath bombs or decorative soaps. If you use milk or beer instead of water it will add properties too, but it will react with the lye violently. With that I should say go find a good book on soapmaking for other safety tips and don’t really on blogs or internet too much.

            You mean peer reviewed studies by leading alzheimers researchers?
            Its objective fact alzheimers patients have heavy metals (with an emphasis on aluminum) in the body where normal people dont.

            Im sure you heard they linked Talcum Powder to Ovarian cancer recently, like within the last 5 years.
            All the companies changed their baby powder products from Talc to Cornstarch right?

            The first studies that showed a link between Ovarian Cancer and Talc were all the way back in 1971.
            The scientific process takes decades and decades before people can point to something, without a doubt and will full research to say X does Y.

            We are currently in the "everyone fights over what the studies mean" phase. Itll be decades before there are definite without a doubt links.

            Seems like a really stupid hill to die on.

    Yes I use a blend of palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil pomace, grapeseed oil and castor oil. I split the batch up into two after mixing and add activated charcoal to one of the halves and stir it back in before pouring to create a basic marbleized effect. Ace hardware sells cheap lye. Be careful with lye one time while mixing the raw soap some of it splattered on my forehead and it burned the frick out of me and I ended up with an ugly scab while it healed.

    many times for over 10 years now, started because I wanted my own shaving soap.
    Check out many YT videos on cold process soap, use SoapCalc site for amounts, get a few supplies and keep them separate from other cooking utensils. Keep your coconut oil to 15%, 50% lard. Get 100% lye from your hardware store, use distilled water, get a stick blender. I use milk cartons for molds, or get silicone molds. Done.

      Personally I don't really want to use either animal fats or palm oils. I'd like to exclusively use fats that I can cook with later and I don't really ever use lard or tallow. Instead of using lard can I just up the amount of coconut oil to like 30% and then just use like shea and coco butter, or some other hard fat?
      I don't have anything against lard or tallow, I just don't usually cook with animal fats unless its like bacon grease or duck fat I've rendered from a different dish. I was raised to just use olive oil for everything so thats generally what I do.

        You can certainly do that, 100% coconut oil (CO) is called "Naval Soap" can be used in very hard salty water. Olive Oil (OO) soap is a classic, but it's a soft 'slimy' soap. Go 80% OO and 20% CO, 5% superfat will work just fine. These can all be done cold process.

    I've been thinking about trying a project where I make soap then electrolyze it in water to form large hydrocarbons via Kolbe electrolysis to further process into fuel. Unfortunately I do not have electrodes for it yet, as apparently graphite doesn't work well as an anode for this purpose.

      Is this essentially an electrolytic version of biodiesel production? I can see the advantage in that it produces hydrocarbons vs alcohols but what sort of energy input would be required?

        a paper I found reported a coulomb efficiency of anywhere between 40-90% for turning valeric acid to octane, and the minimum voltage was 2.5V. Assuming an efficiency of 70%, It would take at minimum 344.5 Kjoules to produce half a mole of product (in this case 57 grams). The fuel would release significantly more energy than that in combustion. Traditional biodiesel may be a more efficient process, but this is more of an experimental project than anything

      Yes, people make coffee soap. Use grounds as an exfoliant and you can use coffee instead of water, but it will be changed in contact with lye. I would use regular water and add grounds at the end, could probably source coffee scent. If you want that much caffeine, take some pills.

        You're gonna have to find a solvent that can solvate hundreds of milligrams of caffeine in under a milliliter. It ain't gonna be water, bub. You're also gonna have to take into account whether or not caffeine can even traverse dermal tissue on its own. Otherwise, you might be in the ballpark of using DMSO to make the skin more permeable which introduces its own issues.

      >I can't seem to figure out a good way to measure the lye strength
      Have you ever heard of pH paper? Also lye should be able to dissolve aluminum (produces hydrogen gas in the process so don't light yourself on fire).
      Also lye is created by mixing dissolved sodium or potassium carbonate with dissolved calcium hydroxide (Lime). The calcium binds to the carbonate to form calcium carbonate which precipitates out. Both of these can be found in ash, but to get good lime the ash has to be heated really hot (over 825°C). Also if you want you can bake the calcium into lime separately using something like limestone, dissolve it in water, and then add it to water you filtered through your ash. If it works you should get a precipitate.

      So here's the thing. Traditional soap before we could chemically test the strength of lye and know its purity, we cooked soap by feel, this was the 'art' of soap making. Since we now know that hydroxide is 99% pure, we can use online tools like SoapCalc to make failsafe soap, so easy. In the past though, water and lye made from wood ash were mixed in a soap kettle outside with whatever fats they had and cooked until was fully converted by feel, I have actually done this. You can take a wooden paddle and watch the mix drip off the edge to judge its 'doneness', it should look like curdled milk.
      It's really not worth the trouble, go to a hardware store an buy lye.
