- Olive oil 12 ounces
- Palm oil 10 ounces
- -
- lye 4.3 ounces
- water 12 ounces
- -
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar, optional, helps make lather
Directions
- Carefully measure out the water in a heatproof container.
- Set it aside.
- In a separate container measure 4.3 ounces of lye.
- Put on rubber gloves and safety glasses.
- (The next step is best done in a well ventilated area.. outside is best).
- Add the lye to the water very very slowly and stir at the same time. Stir slowly until the lye is dissolved.
- PLEASE be very careful with this mixture because it gets very hot.
- Set it aside. Weigh out all of the oils and empty them into a stainless steal or enameled pan.
- Put the pan on low heat until all of the oils melt.
- Let the oils and lye/water mixture cool until they are around 98-100 degrees.
- Safety glasses and gloves need to be on for this next step.
- When they are the same temp (between 98-100) slowly start adding while stirring with a wooden spoon) the lye/water to the oils.
- Stir…Stir… Stir.
- Keep stirring for about 10 minutes (vigorously) until you get it
- thick enough that it traces.
- A trace is when the soap mixture becomes thick enough that you can design on the surface.
- At this point you can add any scent, color, grains or dried herbs.
- Mix well and pour into a plastic mold.
- Wrap the mold in a blanket and unmold after 24 hours.
- You soap will be ready to use after 3-4 weeks of curing.
