ʻOiai ua hoʻololi ka hapa nui o mākou i ka holoi kino, aia nō kekahi hapa o ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka ʻili maikaʻi no ke kino, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kopa a i ʻole ka ʻauʻau. ʻOiai ua like paha lākou, ʻoiaʻiʻo, nui ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā mea ʻelua! Eia nā kī.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o ke kopa lua a me kahi pā ʻauʻau ʻo ia ka mea i hele mai me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe. ʻO Fatty Acid Salt ka inoa kemika o ke kopa, i hana ʻia e kahi kaʻina i kapa ʻia ʻo Saponification, kahi e hana ai nā alkalie a i ʻole nā paʻakai me nā triglycerides a me ka glycerine i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he huahana. Aia pū kekahi mau kopa wili a homogenised, i hāʻawi pinepine ʻia e nā ʻoihana kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka pahu ʻauʻau ʻaʻole wale he kopa komo me ka hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me ka liʻiliʻi o nā pono.
