The
name Triple Milled Soap speaks for itself, really. As it is
manufactured the soap is passed through a milling machine of smooth
stainless steel rollers. The soap is passed through the machine not
once… not twice… but, you guessed it, three times, and pressed into a
smooth fine paste. The goal of all this milling is to thoroughly
mix the soap and any fragrances or extra ingredients added to the soap
base, while squeezing out any extra moisture or air. In truth, Triple
Milled Soap is sometimes put through the milling machine more than three
times. Mill the soap too many times, though, and you wind up with a
dry, less desirable final product. Getting it just right is a bit of an
art. The soap base used in Triple Milled Soap is the same basic
recipe used to make all soaps. Mix a fat or oil with an alkali salt
(lye), and a chemical reaction occurs called saponification - resulting in soap! It’s what happens after saponification that gives Triple Milled Soap its charm. What
is that charm? Simply put, Triple Milled Soaps contain less water and
more actual soap creating a long-lasting hard soap. How many times have
you picked up your soap from its dish, only to find a messy blob? This
will never happen with Triple Milled Soap! Less goop, richer lather –
that’s Triple Milled Soap. Don’t
try this at home! A number of homemade soap recipes are called French
Milled Soaps. But don’t let the name fool you. This soap is made by a
two-part cooking method called hand milling or re-batching. No expensive
milling machine, no triple Triple Milled Soap.
