Homemade Soap Making Process

Making soap at home requires combining fats or oils with lye through saponification. Carefully measure

and mix the lye solution and the warmed oils separately for safety. Combine the two

mixtures and stir or blend until the solution reaches "trace" (a pudding-like consistency).

At trace, you can add scents or colors before pouring the mixture into a mold to set.

The resulting soap then requires several weeks to cure, ensuring it is mild and safe for use.
