Soap made from used cooking oil has gained renewed interest in recent years due to its sustainability and environmental benefits. The process of transforming used cooking oil into soap involves several chemical reactions and precise measurements to ensure a high-quality final product. In this study, we aim to explore the various methods and techniques involved in the successful formation of soap from used cooking oil, while also considering the environmental impact and economic viability of this process. Additionally, we will investigate the potential of using natural additives and fragrances to enhance the properties of soap and cater to diverse consumer preferences. Understanding the chemical principles and techniques involved in this process is crucial for creating high-quality soap. This review provides valuable insights into the feasibility and benefits of repurposing used cooking oil for the production of soap, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
