Marilyn, I want to begin making liquid soap. What base do you use?

Judy, I don't use a base. I make mine from scratch using lye (100% sodium hydroxide, NaOH), water and oils to make bar soap. Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and oils are used to make liquid soap.

There are soap forums with lots of information. There is information on bases as well as making from scratch. The one I am a member of is:
www.thedishforum.com. I think you have to register to see the threads, but there is a wealth of information there about making all kinds of soaps, lotions, cosmetics, you name it. I have not been a very active poster & I'm Marilyn there just like here, but have learned a LOT from this site.
