More About Soapherb's Liquid Soaps

Soapherb is a small, quality, soap and  soy candle company based in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland, Australia. Our soap recipes are meticulously created from the finest ingredients.

Making natural soap requires exact weighing and accurate temperature control. The end quality is also dependent on the selection of the highest quality ingredients and the skill of being able to obtain an excellent result without the use of harmful chemicals. Simply, combining the natural process of fine ingredients, time and temperature. The result is fantastic quality soap.

Soap is an anionic (negatively charged ion) surfactant used in conjunction with water for washing and cleaning, which historically comes either in solid bars or in the form of viscous liquid. Soap consists of sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids and is obtained by reacting common oils or fats with strong alkaline solution (the base, commonly referred to as lye) in a process known as saponification. The fats are hydrolyzed by the base, yielding alkali salts of fatty acids and glycerol. Simply put the fatty acids, combined with an alkali, give a salt(being soap) as the final product.

Today soap is often replaced by other cleaning agents, such as synthetic detergents like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Styrene / Acrylate Copolymer. Just to name a few.

Water is another ingredient of liquid soaps and is  the only recognizable ingredient for most consumers.

These synthetic detergents found in commercial liquid soaps have been manufactured for stability because they are often shipped thousands of kilometers to shops and on their journey suffer from exposure to heat, cold and light.  Soapherb liquid soap is made by hot process method using only vegetable oils, rain water, essential oils and lye. Glycerin occurs naturally in this process and is retained in our soaps.

Glycerin is a very important component in high quality soaps. Glycerin attracts moisture to your skin

Hot process, what is it?

Hot processing is a soapmaking technique where heat is applied using a double boiler after the trace stage to accelerate saponification. The soap is thoroughly cooked until saponification is complete. This process dates back to the dark ages when they used to boil soap in vats over open fires. The hot process method is essential if clarity is desired, as the high temperatures are needed to completely neutralize the excess fatty acids that cause cloudiness.  

At Soapherb we use the paste method instead of the alcohol/lye method for our liquid soap base.

We mix the oils and the lye solution together until it traces and cannot be stirred anymore. We then transfer this paste to the double boiler where it is cooked over regulated temperatures. The paste then goes through many different phases until it resembles a consistency of Vaseline. Once it reaches this stage the paste is done. It is now ready for dilution. We use pure North Queensland rain water to dilute our Soapherb liquid soaps.

In the dilution phase is when we add our pure essential oils. When the paste is completely dissolved it is then transferred to a clear container to sequester. This is the resting phase and allows any cloudiness to dissipate.

Our Soapherb liquid soaps are now ready for bottling and packaing for you to enjoy. 

How to use Soapherb liquid soap.

Soapherb liquid soaps have no added additives or thickeners so they are not as thick as a commercial variety that you may be used to.

Take care when using Soapherb liquid soap by cupping your hand close to the outlet so as to avoid spillage or misdirection of the soap.

Natural liquid soap can clog pump dispenser. If this occurs clean out with water.

Do not ingest. Avoid contact with the  eyes. If eye contact occurs flush well with water.
