Revive is where I find myself purchasing most of my oils these days because they are slightly cheaper. I’m all about the best price for the highest quality. A standard kitchen knife will work fine. I avoid serrated edges because smooth blades tend to cut easier for me. Stirring utensil such as a spoon For small batches I use a microwave oven. For large batches I use an electric soup warmer or double boiler. When using a microwave oven, be sure to melt the soap in small bursts so you don’t burn it. More on that in the instructions portion.

There are different ways to make soap, from super simple to extremely complex. We will focus on the best method for beginners to create custom bars of deep cleaning luxury. I’m talking about highly customized melt and pour soap. Many of the soap recipes I share on Lovely Greens are for 1 lb (454 g) batches. These are GREAT for beginner soap makers because they’re small and relatively inexpensive to make. Many soap recipes are for larger batches, which can be expensive if you make a mistake. Making small, simple recipes that give you six bars at a time is more than enough. Even after over a decade of making soap, I still prefer small batches over large ones. They’re much more fun, less stressful, and a fantastic way to try out new ingredients and recipes. In the Lye Safety Guide article, the Soap Queen gives this explanation: “Mixing water and lye creates an exothermic reaction that causes a dramatic temperature increase.” Hence the reason we never want to add water to lye. “Doing so can cause the lye to expand, or erupt, out of the container.” Clean up I’m also glad you’ve mentioned that shortening more often than not has palm oil in it. I myself am moving towards eliminating all forms of palm oil from my blog and my life in general, so I will definitely be taking another look at this recipe in the near future. Don’t guess when it comes to adding fragrances or essential oils. Too much can be a bad thing – causing skin irritation among other things.As well as my recommendations, read and follow the safety guidelines on the sodium and potassium hydroxide containers. Soap making is not dangerous if you handle the sodium, potassium and other lye-associated ingredients correctly and sensibly. You can use as little as three ingredients to make soap – water, sodium hydroxide and a fat. Whilst you have a choice of fats, there is no substitute for sodium hydroxide if you wish to make ‘real’ soap as this causes the chemical reaction that eventually converts the fats into soap. Soap making ingredients – sodium and potassium hydroxide Lye is very caustic and can cause burns on the skin. Therefore, it’s important to wipe down all tools, counters and equipment used with vinegar. I always have a spray bottle of vinegar and water, since that’s what I use to clean my house.

A stainless steel or heat resistant wire whisk comes in handy for blending in exfoliants and frothing the MP base on decorative specialty soaps. If you plan to add clay to your soap, a whisk is good to have because it disperses the particles well. Digital kitchen scale

Use a long handled spatula for scraping any soap residue from the sides of the pan and jugs. Silicone spatulas are particularly flexible and can withstand the heat of the soap mixture. Jugs and bowls Since the lye may splash we strongly advise that you wear a pair of safety glasses. These are designed so that you can wear them over your normal spectacles, if necessary.

An absolute must for hot or cold process soap making but just a ‘nice to have’ for melt and pour. If you don’t have one, don’t sweat it. Candy or laser-type thermometer I love this part! If you have a microwave safe bowl, a knife, and a microwave – you have all you need as far as tools go. You can even use a double boiler instead of a microwave if you are so inclined. If you have a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol that’s also a plus. You can use it to remove surface bubbles and help separate layers weld together on multi-part layered designs. If you are using the cold-process method, your soap will need to be insulated during the first 24 hours. To do so effectively, cover your soap with layers of blankets or towels. Protective clothingIn 2019 Soap Startup conducted a study of preferred soap bar sizes. Although we got consensus on a few in particular, the greatest lesson learned was that everybody has a different idea of “ideal”. Embrace it! Use a soap bar mold that you LOVE. It doesn’t have to be a plain old rectangle. Make 3D fine-detailed mermaid soap. Enjoy the process AND the product. Silicone soap molds are easy to work with but plastic works too. The mold just needs to be somewhat flexible to allow the cooled hardened soap to pop out. It also needs to be able to hold its shape depending on the heat of the melted soap and weight if pouring a large piece. 10 Steps to the Perfect Melt and Pour Soap Bar I like using a 4-cup microwave safe measuring cup. Filling it halfway gets me a pound of soap base to work with and the lip or spout makes it easy to control when poured. Microwave or double boiler Authentic, natural soap, both hard bar and liquid soap, is made from the chemical reaction of lye combined with fats. The lye is made from water (or water combined with other liquids) and an alkali. For hard bars of soap the alkali is sodium hydroxide, for liquid soaps the alkali is potassium hydroxide.

If you’re adding essential oils, do that now and stir in well. I don’t always add oils. This time I did. I used .5 oz of anise and .5 oz ylang ylang essential oils. If you plan to make soap on the hob then you will need a heatproof container, such as a saucepan. The saucepan must be made of stainless steel to avoid any unwanted reaction with the lye. Spoons When cleaning your soap making pot, allow the mixture to solidify and scrape it into a bag to be sealed and disposed of. Keep your gloves on when cleaning and add some vinegar to your washing up water to help thoroughly clean your utensils. Pour the soap mixture into the prepared mould and cover with old towels if the mould does not have a lid. The soap needs to be kept insulated for 24 hours. Clear up, wash up and wait!

How to make your own soap

Don’t be tempted to use your soap until you are sure that it has cured, ifin doubt test it with a ph strip to make sure it is somewhere between 7-10. If you made a mistake and after 4 weeks it measures above 10 don’t just throw itaway as you can rebatch it. By the way, melt and pour, or MP for short, is also known as “glycerin soap”. This is because it has extra glycerin added to it when it is made. Glycerin is natural and gets you clean. The extra glycerin is added, along with some alcohols, to make the soap easier to re-melt and work with. Step 1: Decide if Melt and Pour Soap Making is for You With your protective gear on, i.e. rubber household gloves and safety glasses or goggles, gently sprinkle the measured lye INTO the water. NOT the other way around. *** If you feel that the fumes may be unpleasant for you, wear a protective mask to prevent breathing them in and make sure that you always work in a well-ventilated room. Having said that, all that’s required is a bit of common sense, which you already have otherwise you would not be reading through this guide!
