Le calculateur de soude du site Saop calc est un
calculateur très complet qui permet de prédire
les propriétés d’un savon réalisé à partir d’un
mélange de corps gras préalablement choisi.
2 → Ici, vous choisissez votre unité de mesure et le poids total des huiles que
vous allez utiliser. Pour l’ exemple, 500g (c’est la valeur par défaut).
6 → C’est ici qu’on fait entrer les huiles choisis dans le calculateur. Pour cela
double-cliquez successivement sur les huiles qui constitueront notre savon dans
le menu déroulant (a). Les huiles choisies sont alors entrées dans le tableau de
droite (b), et sont classées dans l’ordre dans lequel on les a choisies en cliquant.
Puis cochez la case « % » et entrez le pourcentage de chaque huile (c), ou cochez
la case « g » et entrez le poids en gramme de chaque huile (d).

Deuxième étape : la lecture du résultat
1 → Vous pouvez donner un nom à votre recette (facultatif).
6 → Dans ce cadre vous pouvez noter les ingrédients que vous souhaitez
ajouter à votre savon.
7 → Dans ce cadre là, vous pouvez noter ce que vous voulez, une remarque
sur votre savon par exemple.
Les caractéristiques d’un savon sont:
* le pouvoir moussant,
*la consistance,
*la dureté
Hardness 29 to 54
Cleansing 12 to 22
Condition 44 to 69
Bubbly lather 14 to 46
Creamy lather 16 to 48
What are the best values for Hardness, Cleansing, Condition, Bubbly and
Creamy?
The number ranges are meant to be a relative indicator of the soap's qualities
and are general guidelines, not absolute standards. The numbers are based on
the combined fatty acid content of your recipe (the "All" column) . Each fatty
acid contributes certain qualities to the soap as shown in chart below.
The ranges of numbers below represent typical values. They are suggested
guidelines. As you gain experience, you will lean where you can color outside the
lines so to speak.
Hardness - This refers to the hardness of the soap bar. Higher is harder.
A range of 29 to 54 is satisfactory for this soap quality. A low Iodine value also
contributes to hardness (see below).
×Cleansing - This refers to the soap's ability to grab on to oils. A soap molecule is
a chain of carbon atoms. One end of the chain attracts water, the other end
attracts oil. When you wash your skin with soap and water, multiple chains will
gather around a droplet of oil (which contains, for lack of a better word, dirt) with
their oil-hungry ends attached to the oil droplet. The water hungry ends are
surrounded with water. To make this happen you need to mix up (scrub or rub)
the soap and water on your skin.
When you rinse, the oil droplets with the attached soap molecules are washed
away.
Some soap molecules can have a very hungry oil grabbing end. Soap made
with too much Lauric and/or Myristic Acid can irritate the skin by washing
away not only the top dirty layer of oils, but also the protective layer of
surface oils on the skin.
Generally speaking, keeping the total of coconut and palm kernel in your
recipe to no more than 30-35% is considered the norm. However, when using
large or very large percentages of coconut and palm kernel the strong
cleansing can be compensated for by superfating with an oil or butter that
has a high conditioning value.
Bubbly lather - This refers to the soap’s ability to lather up and get bubbly. A
typical range of values would be 14 to 46. The higher Bubbly numbers will tend
to produce a foamy, fluffy lather rather than a creamy lather with littler or no
bubbles.
Creamy lather - This value indicates the stability and creaminess of the lather.
Usually, increasing Bubbly will decrease Creamy and vice versa.
INS - A measure of the physical qualities of the soap based on the SAP and
iodine value. This value was introduced by Dr. Robert S. McDaniel in his
wonderful book "Essentially Soap". The exact origin of the value is unclear
but INS is derived from Iodine value and the SAP value; hence INS - "Iodine
’n SAP" If the value is not in "Essentially Soap", it is estimated by
subtracting the Iodine Value from the KOH SAP.
It is used to predict the physical characteristics of the soap bar - the ideal
being 160.
Experience has proven a range of about 136 - 170 will gennerally be
acceptable.
