65 days agoMaking soap at home can be simple or a bit more advanced depending on the method. Here are two common methods: Melt and Pour (beginner-friendly) and Cold Process (more advanced).
1. Melt and Pour Method (Beginner-Friendly)
This is the easiest way to make soap.
Ingredients:
Soap base (glycerin, shea butter, goat milk, etc.)
Fragrance oils (optional)
Colorants (optional)
Add-ins (like dried herbs, oats, etc.)
Soap mold
Instructions:
1. Cut the soap base into small chunks.
2. Melt the chunks in a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler.
3. Add fragrance and color once melted. Stir well.
4. Pour into molds and let sit for a few hours until firm.
5. Pop out of the mold and it's ready to use!
2. Cold Process Method (Advanced)
This involves a chemical reaction with lye (sodium hydroxide).
Ingredients:
16 oz olive oil
10 oz coconut oil
9 oz distilled water
4.5 oz lye (sodium hydroxide)
Essential oils for scent (optional)
Soap mold
Safety gear (gloves, goggles)
Instructions:
1. Put on safety gear.
2. Slowly add lye to water (never water to lye). Stir and let cool.
3. Melt oils together and cool to 100–110°F.
4. Mix lye water and oils together.
5. Blend with stick blender until it thickens (called "trace").
6. Add scent or extras (optional).
7. Pour into mold, cover and let set 24-48 hours.
8. Unmold and cut into bars.
9. Cure for 4–6 weeks in
a dry, ventilated area.
