Teach Soap

Hi

I have seen some articles on here with regard to using Distilled Water in our soap recipes. Is this the same Distilled Water that we used to use in Car Battery's and Steam Irons.

I have been using bottled water for my soap and so far touch wood. It seems to be ok.

I look forward to hearing from you and I wish you all a very merry Christmas.

Yes, it's the same water. I use filtered tap water for my soap rather than distilled water.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Distilled water always works just fine, but some people can use bottled, tap, rain or some kinds of filtered water. It depends on what is in the water, some minerals can cause problems, and I have read that people don't want to use rain because they live in a place where the rain is very polluted. Where I live (in the UK) my tap water is very safe to drink, but if I use it for soap there is no lather...it all depends where you are and what is the water sources. Bottled water can be very different stuff depending on where in the world you live too!

Distilled water is the stuff used in steam irons, but I wanted to point out to people, do not buy perfumed ironing water to make soap, the fragrances in them are not necessarily safe in soap, and it will mess up your own choice of fragrance for your soap.
