Making soap was not too complicated it is just the addition of lye (NaOH) to an oil. Getting the right amount of NaOH to oil was based on the soapafonication value, it is worth noting that soapafonication value is a rough indication this is due to the quality of oils varying from manufacturer and brands.
Safety wise your soap should havea value of pH 9 – 10
Importantly this process requires around about 1 hour of patience and persistent string at a temperature of roughly 70°C.
