Detailed Features

Discover the key to crafting exquisite liquid soaps and cleansers with our premium Potassium Hydroxide. As a fundamental ingredient in the soap-making process, Potassium Hydroxide enables the creation of silky-smooth liquid formulations that cleanse and nourish the skin.

With a recommended usage rate of 3-5% for most liquid soap recipes, our Potassium Hydroxide ensures optimal saponification, transforming oils and fats into luxurious lather and gentle cleansing agents. Its high alkalinity allows for the creation of versatile formulations suitable for hand soaps, body washes, shampoos, and more.

To use Potassium Hydroxide in soap making, carefully measure the required amount according to your recipe and dissolve it in distilled water to create a lye solution. Gradually add the lye solution to your melted oils and fats while stirring continuously, ensuring thorough incorporation and emulsification. Once the mixture reaches trace, pour it into molds and allow it to cure for several weeks, during which time it will solidify and mature into a beautifully crafted liquid soap.

Embrace the art of liquid soap making with confidence and creativity, thanks to our high-quality Potassium Hydroxide. Elevate your formulations and pamper your skin with the luxurious textures and gentle cleansing properties of handmade liquid soaps. Start your soap-making journey today and experience the joy of crafting skincare products tailored to your unique preferences and needs.
