Chapter 1- What Is Soap Making and How Does It Work?
The art of making soap has existed for hundreds of years, and for the majority of that time, soap was made by hand. If you wanted soap, you saved the necessary components from daily life and made it yourself. It wasn't until the 1920s that soap became a commercial product, bought rather than made. In the last decade or so, the art of making soap has seen the resurgence among eco-friendly people. Thankfully, while the chemical process behind making soap is complex, the physical process is not.
The History of Soap Making
The oldest known mention of soap is actually over 4,000 years old, coming from ancient Babylon. The recipe for a simple soap, consisting of ashes, alkali salt and water was written on a stone tablet dated to around 2200 BCE.
One popular tale of the discovery of soap comes from ancient Rome. In Latin, the word that means soap is Sapo. As the tale goes, there once was a mountain named Mount Sapo. This mountain was a frequently used site for animal sacrifices, and thus became saturated with animal fat over the years. One day, particularly heavy rains washed the animal fats down towards the river, alongside ashes from the sacrificial fires. These three ingredients -- fat, ash and water -- are the primary ingredients for basic soap. Washerwomen at the banks of the river discovered that the refuse from the mountain cleaned clothes much more easily than water alone, and named the substance Sapo.
This tale, while interesting, is almost certainly not true. There is no record of a mount Sapo anywhere in the Roman Empire. There is also little evidence that soap was used as a detergent in Rome, as it is rarely mentioned in any capacity.
No matter the history, the basic recipe stays the same, though today we use more refined products than animal fat and wood ash.
The Methods of Making Soap
All natural soaps -- those not created with synthetic detergents -- are made with three primary ingredients. The first, water, has remained unchanged since time began. The second, animal fat has been replaced in modern times with various vegetable oils. Home soap makers often choose a mixture of olive and coconut oils. The third, ash, has also been replaced with the active ingredient from that ash. This ingredient is caustic soda, or lye.
There are three ways to make soap today, though one of them is more of a craft hobby than an actual soap making process.
Cold Process: This method is the one used throughout the ages. You mix a proportion of lye with water in one container. In another container, you mix the oils you will use. Then you combine the two ingredients, stir, pour into molds and let it set. The lye and the oil react in a process called saponification, chemically transforming into soap. The chemical reaction takes a significant amount of time, so the curing process takes six or more weeks for a batch of soap.
Hot Process: This is similar to cold process, though it is a much more modern invention. Rather than mix the ingredients and let them sit for weeks, you mix them over a source of heat close to boiling. This forces the chemical reaction to progress faster, curing a batch in hours instead of weeks. For proper results, this requires constant stirring and is not recommended without plenty of time to dedicate to the task. Once the soap has been poured into molds and cooled, it is ready to use.
Melt and Pour: This process is more of a craft hobby than a soap making method. Instead of working with oil and lye, you buy unscented clear soap base. This pre-processed soap works as it is. Melt this soap and add your preferred colors and scents pour it into molds and allow it to set. You now have soap.
The Saponification Process
Saponification is the technical name for the chemical process that produces soap. It begins with the fatty acids found in animal fats and vegetable oils. When these fats are introduced to a sufficient amount of a strong alkaline element, they react. This
