# Toilet Soap (No Caustics)

## Editor's Notes
- **"sal soda"** — Washing soda (sodium carbonate), a common household alkali used in pre-lye soap recipes of this era.
- **"gum camphor"** — Solid camphor resin, historically used in soap-making as an antiseptic and fragrance agent.
- **"citronella"** — Citronella oil, used here as a fragrance and insect-repellent additive.
- **"tallow"** — Rendered animal fat (typically beef or mutton), the primary base fat in this soap formula.
- **No water quantity specified** — The card lists no water; it is likely that the tallow is melted and the dry ingredients dissolved into it or a small amount of water, but no quantity is given. This is a significant omission for replication. -

- **"instant meat marinade"** — a packaged dry or liquid marinade mix common in mid-20th century cooking; brands such as Adolph's Meat Marinade were widely available in this era.
