What is the water with bleach used in making homemade soap?

in order to homemade soap

Soap making is a chemical reaction, a base (lye) is necessary for saponified fat molecules into soap. So bleach is used to make soap, but it's really not bleach itself once the soap is soap. lye + fat ==> + a glycerin soap may be animal fats or vegetable oils. Glycerin is a natural byproduct of saponification. Commercial manufacturers of glycerine soap and eliminate the use for lotions, etc. No homemade soap manufacturers remove the glycerin, handmade soap is very moisturizing so your skin. Soap is technically a salt. Just as the elements of table salt (sodium chloride) is hazardous separately, are somewhat beneficial when together. Sodium is a very reactive metal and chlorine is a poisonous gas at room temperature, but as harmless and NaCl is essential for life. Similarly, the bleach is dangerous in itself, but beneficial when done in the soap. It is also used to make paper, among many other things. bleach has a pH too high to be neutralized when added to fats and oils (which are more low pH = acid) and soap form. People have been making use of lye soap for thousands of years. Now we detergents made from petroleum. The FDA does not allow companies to label something as 'soap' if not done with bleach. Instead, you could call a "beauty bar" or " cleaner "or something. Ingredients soap label often say 'tallowate sodium" or "sodium cocoate." This means tallow or coconut oil is mixed with sodium hydroxide (lye) to make soap. You can make solid bars of soap with sodium hydroxide (lye) or soap liquid potassium hydroxide. You, of course, has to show respect to these chemicals by wearing gloves and goggles, as well as maintenance ventilated room, but I've never heard of anyone hurting themselves dramatically, while the manufacture of homemade soap! You need to be careful you just the right concentration of bleach in your recipe, which is very easy these days because they do not have to make wood ash lye and we have these new fangled digital scales! There are plenty of useful websites and books available as well. I remember my grandmother providing tallow and lye from making zero and I am very grateful that the soap is a bit easier to do these days, although it is still difficult but rewarding hobby.
