Soap Making Supplies: Do You Have What You Need?
Copyright © 2007-2008 Jon J Martin


It is possible to make soap at home using utensils already found in your kitchen. To get a fairly good idea of the sort of soap making supplies you'll be needing, keep in mind that soap is the product of blending fats (or oils) and lye (or some other caustic alkali) solution.

Thus your basic list of apparatus should be something like this:

  • Containers for your ingredients which are mainly lye, oils, and water

  • Stainless steel boiling pot

  • Mixing bowl

  • Wooden spoons or sticks for stirring

  • Molding trays

  • Clean cloths or rags

  • Digital scale

    Don't make tin and aluminum utensils or containers part of your soap making supplies. They easily corrode when they come into contact with lye.

    Other items, which may seem incidental at first, but which may prove to be crucial at some point include such items as eye protection gear, mitt or potholders, thermometer, measuring spoons or cups, and litmus paper for testing the lye content or pH of your soap.

    Should your hobby evolve into an enterprise, or if you originally had bulk production in mind, you would probably have to invest in additional equipment, such as a blender or amalgamator for mixing your lye and oils, and possibly machinery for cutting soap bars and packaging.

    The method of production you'll be employing will most likely be the most common one, cold process. But in case you choose to go the hot process way, you may want to use a crockpot to quicken your output. These two start-from-scratch techniques of soap making are nearly identical, except that one requires cooking your mixture and adding enhancers at a latter phase of the process.

    Soap Making Safety Equipment

    Considering that you will be using lye with both the cold and hot processes, it is important that you have the proper safety equipment. You will need safety goggles that seal completely onto your face and rubber glove to protect your hands. You may also want to get a lab coat or apron for added protection.

    Sources of Soap Making Supplies

    How or where do you get your soap making supplies? Finding them is mostly a matter of applying common sense and being resourceful. Some utensils are already to be found in the kitchen, as mentioned earlier, and you may improvise or reuse old items lying around the house (e.g. stick for stirring the lye-oil mixture

    Most of the other items may be obtained from various retailers and dealers. Item such as essential oils, carrier oils, and other additives are also sold in specialty stores. Stick blenders, crockpots, and similar items may be purchased from appliance stores and industrial suppliers.

    Not to forget, of course, the Internet as a convenient source of your soap making supplies. There are numerous Web sites from which you can order soap making supplies for your home-based undertaking. Some of the items you need may be just a few clicks away.

    The Power of Articlesaur Article Directory

    The power of Articlesaur is its ability to gain exposure and promote its writers. At present, we have Forty-One general subjects covering a very wide range of subjects. This means that, as a writer, you are assured of finding a home for your articles. As a publisher, it means that you will find the material you are looking for.

    The key to the process begins with quality writers and the volume and quality of article submissions that come in each day. This means that there is always fresh and original content to meet the needs of any publisher. This will in turn mean more publishers coming to Articlesaur.com to find their material and in turn greater exposure for the writers.

    This is a win-win situation for both the publishers and the writers. For the writers, you will find that there is no cost to you to set up an account or to submit your articles. After creating an account, you will find that with each article you submit, your website will gain exposure and additional links to it. This will help you rank higher on any of the search engines.

    You will also find that, since your name is attached to the article when it is published, you will become known as an expert in the subject you write on. This will translate into more business for your website and it will increase the amount of money you are able to make. When people see your name over and over they begin to look at you as an expert and someone they can trust. People will buy products and services more often from people they trust.

    The power of this article directory is in what it can do for the writer in its ability to target your audience. This is because of the simple fact that the publishers that are looking at your articles are interested in what you have to say. They, in turn, provide an audience for your articles on their websites and newsletters and the people that read them are also people that are specifically looking for what you have to offer. This is something that you cannot get through any other medium.

    With ads, you are never sure who is looking at them and how many simply go past them because they were not interested in what you are selling. If you write an article on a particular kind of dog and submit your article to Articlesaur.com it will be published by people interested in that type of dog. Then your article will be read by people that are interested in that type of dog. They will go to your website and look at your product or service and spend their hard-earned money with you.
