Background
Some individuals continue to make soap in the home. The traditional name
"soaper", for a soapmaker, is still used by those who make soap as
a hobby. Those who make their own soaps are also known as soapcrafters.
Handmade soap differs from industrial soap in that, usually, an excess of
fat is used to consume the alkali (''superfatting''), and in that the glycerin
is not removed. Superfatted soap, soap which contains excess fat, is more skin-friendly
than industrial soap; though, if not properly formulated, it can leave users
with a "greasy" feel to their skin. Often, emollients such as jojoba
oil or shea butter are added 'at trace' (the point at which the saponification
process is sufficiently advanced that the soap has begun to thicken), after
most of the oils have saponified, so that they remain unreacted in the finished
soap.

"I am still in
Trinidad and am starting my own handmade soaping
company using only essential oils and botanicals which
I import. So far it is going great and thanks to your
course I got on the right track which inspired me to
teach myself this art and now I have to say I am very
good at it... Thanks for changing my life Kolbjorn and I will let you
know how things progress."
