I'll look at EDTA how environmentally friendly it is. Recently I read from the site below and it confirmed my observation. http://www.soapworld.biz/oils_and_fats_in_soap_manufacturing.html check it.

Thank you for your post. What you are saying is true. Aside from cleansing 100PKO is very drying to the skin. But 100%Tallow is milder. Yes my laundry bar is for hand washing and not for machine. How can i increase the cleansing property with additives? What kind of additive? Thank you.

Hello, Please help me out with the soap calculator. I’ve been making laundry bar 100% PKO with 0% Superfat using online soapcalc until I change the recipe to 80% PO and 20%PKO. Check the attached recipe. The result on soap calc is completely different from what it is in reality. 80PO:20PKO is...

Thank you Penelopejane. My abandoned 100% Tallow is my best now. I used it for all my manual laundry and bathing. My kids use them as well

Thank you Earlene for your insightful contributions. I actually rendered goat tallow today. I have an option of beef and goat tallow and I'll go for goat. It appears it has slight edge over many other tallows. Also it appears easier to render than beef.

I was just on the site before I notice your post. Thank you all the same. I've seen this site severally. But recently I stumble on the site i posted above. When I studied it carefully I noticed it contradicted with what I knew about CO and PKO in terms of their cleansing power as compared to PO...

Hello fellow Soapers, I need some ideas about PKO and CO Vs PO, Tallow(Beef and Goat) and Lard. I've read that 1.) PKO and CO can be use interchangeably and also PO, Tallow and Lard. I've confirm this is so. 2.) PKO and CO are harder, foamy and cleanses more than PO, Tallow and Lard...

Thank you. I'll be grateful with the website.

That web link is not mine and not even my procedure. I use lye calculator, weigh my oils, NaOH and fragrances. I don't use hydrometer and i don't measure volumes.

My intention was to know why they are using these two compounds in their production and what could be the outcome. I now know they are not necessary in my recipe. Also that web link is not mine and not even my procedure. I use lye calculator, weigh my oils, NaOH and fragrances. I don't use...

Thank you for your post. I want to believe the main reason is for the quantity of the final product. This in order to maximize profit. But the products are not that cheap here. So at the end difference is not that significant.

Thank you very much for your advise. I'm only a beginner and I learned everything online. But I noticed that our local homemade bar soap makers are doing something different and they all add the two compound to their recipe. A look at the site below shows how our local make their bar soap ...

Thank you. My quest is to make best laundry bar soap possible with PKO. My soap is not for bathing but washing clothes. I know sodium carbonate and sulphate could be added in liquid soap and detergent. So when some soapers around added them in their laundry bar soap, I was wondering it...

Thank you all. I'll go for 100% pko in order to compete with well in the market. It is the best for laundry purpose.

Thank you Susie and The Efficacious Gentleman for post. I believed it will bring more bubbly and cleansing power and probably increases the final quantity of the soap. I don't really know. Almost all the soap makers around me add that to their recipe though they don't scale any of their items...
