The first soap recipe I have chosen for you is very simple, so you can become familiar with the cold method and overcome your fear of caustic soda. Caustic soda reacts with oils to create soap. In the finished soap, if the quantities of ingredients indicated in the recipes are respected, the soda disappears because in the chemical reaction it neutralizes the oils, and they transform into sodium salt. Those who want to learn more about soap will find everything they need to know in my books. In the video I put on the protections only after weighing the soda, I have been making soap for many years and for me it is normal like this, because I am careful not to put my nose on the container where I am pouring the soda, but to you, at least at the beginning I recommend putting on the mask even before opening the soda can, so you do not run the risk of breathing in the dust. The soda comes in flakes, but sometimes, and especially at the end of the can, a powder can form that is always better to avoid breathing in.
