I don’t know this never occurred to me before. When I was making my latest batch of liquid soap, I just popped all the oils in the micky for a couple of minutes on 30% power and they were ready to go!

(though somebody else has totally thought of this, I’m sure.)

P.S. I realized while I was making my liquid soap that my KOH(potassium hydroxide) had NEVER BEEN OPENED. So how did I make that first batch? By not paying attention and super diluting day-old regular soap made with NaOH(Sodium hydroxide). I went back and fixed the post. It’s more ‘liquid-ish’ than totally liquid. You have to shake it from time to time to keep it going up the pump, but I much prefer it to the true liquid soap I made when I tried the KOH.  The liquid-ish soap goes much farther and I kind of like the toothpaste consistency.  HA!

@Tanya You can substitute any oil you like. however, you might want to run it through a lye calculator to make sure the chemical reaction is right. And of course you can color it! Any color you like!
