Our chart of saponification values (for determining the amount of lye needed to make soap)
is one of the most accurate on the Internet. This project involved contacting dozens of oil distributors and processors in 2006
and averaging the true SAP values before
calculating the saponification values for lye (sodium hydroxide). The chart of saponification values,
along with a brief explanation of terms and calculations, may be found on the Certified Lye™ website:
Chart of Saponification Values.
As a member of the Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild, I have written
several articles about making soap, to share with other soap makers.
The following articles were written for and published in
"The Handcrafted Soap Maker, The Journal of the Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild."
These articles are presented in PDF
and will open with Acrobat Reader.
