Liquid Castile Soap: Olive Oil Boiled with Caustic Potash

Potash makes a soft soap where soda makes a hard one, and soft soap dissolves easily, so an olive-oil potash soap thinned with water is liquid castile soap. The boiling follows the soft-soap practice Andrew Ure described in 1839: oil and caustic potash lye added by turns and boiled gently until the paste turns clear. The picture: Norwegian green soap (grønnsåpe), another soft soap of fat and potash lye.
