How you stop the smell of soap noodles to making a good toilet soap?
I'm not sure what your soap noodle made from. If it made from sapon. of sat. fatty acid or sat. oil with low of unsaponify matter, I think it should have no any problem about odor or rancid smell. In soap that saponified by unsat. fatty acid/oil or high unsaponified matter oil, they add some ingredient such BHT to prevent the rancid smell. But I'm not sure it is safe for skin.

What are bha and bht made from?
They are both chemical compounds made by mixing isomers. Atomically they are both formed with carbon (c), hydrogen (h) and oxygen (o) in a process that creates a new molecule. The basic components of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are all derived from other sources through various process and broken down into their various isomer formulations before being mixed to create the target molecule type. When properly combined they form the phenolic compounds known as Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) The molecular formula for bha is C11H16O2 It is a yellow waxy substance The molecular formula for bht is C15H24O It is a white powder Both are more reactive to oxygen than fats and food solids, which is why they are used as a food preservative to prevent oxidation and food spoilage. For some people this can lead to intestinal distress and other allergy-like symptoms as the bha and bht can interfere with the break down of foods and absorption rates of nutrients in the body.
