There is no “natural soap”. If you want to make bar soap, NaOH is what to use, not KOH.

Regarding ingredients, usually you buy them according to a plan, and in this case a formula. So first, you should have a formula and than buy what you need.
Regarding equipments, is basically the same thing.
I appears to me that you don’t know the basics of what you are doing, which makes the hole process kind of dangerous. I’d suggest to learn first the basics and than start experimenting.

i would start with a soap that’s the plan, i don’t have a certain formulation that’s true, but i thought i could buy the equipment and start experimenting at home to have a definite one,or what is your advice to me to start correctly not acting randomly @em88
