MissMary Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 In the tutorial it calls for KOH, is this a MUST, or a preference over NaOH? Would NaOH work just as well, just get hotter? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 KOH is used for liquid soap. I've seen some nice cream soap recipes using a combo of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I didn't explain, sorry. KOH makes a soft, liquid soap. NaOH makes a hard soap. Regardless of heat, soap made correctly with NaOH will get hard. Mix them together and you get a softer soap, cream soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ah, thanks for the clarification Carrie, that explains ALOT now when I think on the threads I've read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
