How to make soap?
Don't know. No problem.

We have a ten step procedure for you which will help you in making homemade soap. However, these should not be considered as soap making recipe.

Before getting started, you need to gather all the required soap making ingredient which you will be needing for making a soap. Moreover, you should always follow soap making instructions. Get ready with all essential soap ingredient like lye, water, oils, etc.

Soap making procedure:

1. Fat heating
Heat the fats in the lye resistant container with the optional ingredients. Place a thermometer in the fats in such a way that it does not touch the bottom.

2. Protect your hands and eyes by wearing proper protection.

3. Measure the cold water (70 to 75 degrees F) as specified in the recipe, using the heatproof container. Add lye slowly to the boiling water and start stirring the mix until the lye is dissolved. Do not smell the fumes, as they could be dangerous. Place a thermometer and wait for it to reach the specified temperature.

4. Add lye water to the fat when they both reach the specified temperature. Pour the lye/water slowly, using the potholder, into the lye/water and continue stirring. Until the lye/water and the fats are within 120-140 degrees, the batches of the soap poured in the molds are not critical. However, less temperature is required when poured in larger soap making mold.

5. Keep stirring unless the soap reaches tracing stage. Tracing is the thickness developed by the soap.

6. Add the essential oils up to one tablespoon for fragrance after tracing of the soap and stir for few minutes.

7. Now, pour the recipe into the soap making mold, and wait for it to get hardened. You will find the estimated time required by the soap in the mold in our free soap making recipe.

8. Remove the soap from the mold using proper protections, like gloves. To release the soap, press it from the back to ease the removal process. If the soap does not release, keep it in freezer for few hours.

9. Let the soap age. You can get the estimated age time duration in the free recipes for natural soap making. During this time, the bar is hardened, and the pH level decreases.

10. Follow the time duration, that is, the molding time, aging time, etc. properly. And now your natural soap, made by you, is all ready.
