What is Water Discount in Soap Making?

Water discount in soap making refers to the practice of using less water than the traditional recipe calls for in the lye solution. Reducing the water content can speed up the curing process, resulting in firmer, longer-lasting soap bars. This technique allows soap makers to achieve a more controlled texture and reduce the overall curing time.

About the Tool

This Water Discount Calculator is a user-friendly, single-page application designed to help soap makers determine the correct amount of water required for their recipes. By simply entering the total oil weight, choosing a water discount percentage (or entering a custom value), and selecting the unit of measurement, you can instantly see the calculated water requirement. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced soap maker, this tool simplifies the process of fine-tuning your soap recipes.

How to Use Water Discount

To use water discount in your soap recipe, first enter the total weight of the oils you are using. Next, select one of the preset water discount options (Full, Reduced, or Minimal) or choose the Custom option to input your own percentage.
