there is always a loss but it is better than the pure white salt of everything.
I make an antiseptic and antifungal salt soap: keeping my milk soap base for softness and nourishing skin effect, I add Himalayan salt in good quantity. we can go up to 1 kg for 1 liter of oil. I'm happy with 400 g, and it's really effective. Himalayan salt is a must, but the coarse gray should not be bad either.

Mine comes from Bangshen (3 € for 20kg, but you have to go get it : Lol: ).

Because Japanese nigari - very rich in magnesium - has unfortunately become a little overdosed with radionuclides now : Shock:

I love this place more. and this is an opportunity. if not sea water in the arm that separates us from the english, bof! ditto for the pond that separates Marseille from the cousins :D . I pay attention to the quality of the water all the same.

Small question, how many months is roughly 3, 4 or more?


Four weeks of treatment are generally sufficient


So my question: can we control the pH of the soap (by taking a small tip that we dissolve in demineralized water for example), to check that the saponification is beautiful and well finished and that the result corresponds good to the desired product?


Touching the tip of the tongue with the soap lets you know if the soap is
still caustic or not.

This in order to put in place its own "manufacturing schedule so as not to end up without soap at a time ...

Once we start doing it, we quickly find ourselves with
stocks for several weeks, if not months. It's not
that at the beginning that the cure seems long. Once 2 or 3 saponifications
in stock, the cure is no longer a problem.

Re,

For the laurel tree, find a neighbor who has a tree;) ... and pick up a little one by the foot that you replant at home;), even in pots it will always make you leaves to season your dishes;) ...

There must have been something else equivalent here,) ... I’m also looking for something :) ...

And no need to improve which is already very simple;) ...

As for salt, the Himalayas or Brittany or sold, as long as it remains in the raw state, it is kiffe kiffe bourricot, seeing that it is for an external application right?

If you want obamot I can send you coarse Breton salt made in a traditional way since always ...;) ... (joke :) and if you don't have salt but you have salted butter it also works? : p :) :) :)

yes rabbit thank you I had not seen your answer ...

with the tip of the tongue ??? seriously lol as with the batteries, if it is bitter and caustic it is not good; So I have to lick my Aleppo soap to know what taste it has to be able to compare ... good ben y 'more than :) I like new experience lol ... but not too often anyway;) ...

if not with a ph meter ??? by what language i have but the ph put i also :) ...


Suddenly thank you very much everyone I'm going to try this adventure since I have everything I need at home;) ...

And nice, the multicolored soap thing;) with the orange carrot, the purple beet, etc. etc cool and very fun for children (with glasses gloves and all the safety and precautionary paraphernalia which obviously go well. ..

ph paper to be sure, but the tongue method on soap is the one I use too. it stings: it's not good. taste of soap, ok, we can go.
by cons children and soda ....... uhhhhhhhh
the best is to make your own soap. when it has matured slowly and it is good, there you can grate it, melt it in a bain marie and add whatever you want with the children. it limits the risks.

see here:
http://www.micheldogna.fr/radioactivite.html

Magnesium salts are radionuclide traps! Since we are in a thread where we talk a lot about chemistry, I don't need to draw you a drawing (to explain the questions of attractiveness to you)?

... Honestly I don't see how they could escape it. Furthermore, it is the very principle of low dose irradiation (which I try to avoid at the source), and don't forget that the thyroid, an organ sensitive to radiation if there is one ... is on the way to swallowing. So sorry, it may be excessive (and I agree that we should not fall into paranoia and that Japanese people have the right to export ...), but I prefer not to take this risk -the. If you want to be sure, you can send a sample to analyze, as these are valid health reasons for all consumers, knocking on the right door shouldn't cost anything.

On the other hand - if it is contaminated, which is far from certain: I apply a precautionary principle - you have STRICTLY NO FEAR to have if you have been in contact with, it will be doses minute. There is no question for the Japanese to get contaminated products out of their country (I presume), it would be economic suicide.
So for low doses, just do not expose yourself too much in the future, épicétou.

Statistics side is less reassuring:

The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant led to the release of radioactive isotopes into the air (predominantly cesium-137 and iodine-131, and some cesium-134). The exact amount of radioactivity sent into the air is unknown, but is estimated to be 770,000 trillion Becquerels (a unit of measure - Bq) of radioactive particles. This formed a large feather that generally followed the major wind patterns and moved most of the radiation east, over the Pacific Ocean. However, some radioactive contamination moved into other areas of Japan, since atmospheric events like rain, low pressure systems, wind changes and the altitude of the plume affect movement. Cesium-137 is more of a long-term concern than iodine-131, as the cesium isotope's half-life (the length of time required for the amount of the substance to reduce by half) is about 30 years vs. iodine-131's half-life of 8 days. There is a short-term risk of thyroid damage if radioactive iodine in food is absorbed into the body and accumulates.

I just thought of a simple trick to "recreate"sea salt is simply diluting it with water and letting it gently evaporate under the sun (it works with green clay already used, which can thus be recycled.) do you think? On the other hand I have a doubt in which container to do this?
