Green soap


Soap dishes: make soap in the traditional way

Green soap, also called brown soap, soft soap or gold soap, is a soft or soft soap with a yellowish-brown color that is used primarily for household cleaning.

Originally, green soap of hemp oil was made. This oil is naturally slightly green, so the soap made of it was also a bit green colored. Hemp seed oil was a cheap by-product of the hemp grown on a large scale to make the fiber rope.

Today, green soap is usually made from other cheap vegetable oil, for example soya oil or cola oil. The soap is a week because the oil is saponified with potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide, as with hard soap. Use

Green soap has the name to be a particularly good degreaser. It is used to clean, for example, extra contaminated (lubricating) hands, but also when removing stubborn (greasy) stains from fabrics. However, many modern synthetic surfactants have a significantly greater fat-solubilizing capacity than soap.

Green soap is usually not perfumed and therefore has its own distinctive soap odor that is not appreciated by everyone, while others are content with the fragrance defined by them as old-fashioned, and associate this smell with "clean". Other names

Green soap is also referred to as brown soap (quite common in Flanders), as "Gold Soap" (brand Tricel) or as Soft Soap (Brand Triangle). Also see
