Teach Soap

Cold process soap is naturally alkaline. According to most resources it averages 7-10, while one large company says it is normal for soap to have a pH between 8 and 10.5. They also say that the industrial made soap has an average pH of 10.5, while the pH of quality handmade soap "can be as low as 8.5".
ETA: Anything 7-10 is ok. If you have a 10.5 and it doesn't make your tongue tingle, doesn't sting your skin, doesn't turn your pheno a deep color, then I'd say it was ok too.

The "salting out" method was used by my ancestors that used wooden ashes to make lye. This process was very innacurate and it still is.
Here is a chart that shows you the pH of different things.
