Really, I don't think that every soap made home kill virus. I inquired from lots of websites and there were written that hand-sanitizers need to contain at least 65-95% alcohol, and to be in contact with your skin for at least 60 seconds to reliably inactivate the coronavirus. And actually drinking alcohol is not strong enough, some ethanol and very high percentage alcohols actually do not work. My grandmother is doing homemade soap and she found out lots of recipes from internet but she isn't sure that this soap kills virus, anyway, precisely it is good for something else. Oh, I forgot to inform you, is a page [aussiecandlesupplies.com.au] where you can find different products such as oils, candles or soaps which can be useful for killing viruses.

I have made soap before, it is a fascinating process. You melt a variety of fats together, each fat has certain properties when mixed with lye, such a creaminess, soapiness, harness, check it out here: [soapcalc.net] then you mix liquid (usually water) and lye and let it cool. When the lye and the fats are the same temperature you mix them together and stir, stir, stir, and stir more. I use a stick blender. The lye mixed with fats causes a process called saponification. When it starts to look/feel like pudding you can put it in mold, cover it with waxed paper and then put it in a lined box and let it age for several days. Then you can unmold it, cut into bars if you need to, and then let it age another few weeks. I have used almost exclusively my own homemade soap for about 5 years, mostly because I have enough to last another 5 to 20 years.

Very interesting, I had no idea that was the effect. Looks like I’ll have to start using soap on my face, rather than cleansing with fatty moisturiser, thanks for the tip
