Crafting Artisanal Bar Soap: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Equipment
Ingredients:
- Base oils (such as olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, etc.)
- Lye (sodium hydroxide)
- Distilled water or other liquid (milk, herbal tea, etc.)
- Essential oils or fragrance oils
- Additives (clays, herbs, exfoliants, etc.)
Equipment:
- Safety gear (goggles, gloves, long-sleeved clothing)
- Stainless steel or heat-resistant plastic containers
- Stick blender
- Thermometer
- Scale
- Soap molds
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step 2: Safety First
Soap making involves working with lye, which is a caustic substance. Safety is paramount, so ensure you're wearing protective gear such as goggles and gloves, and work in a well-ventilated area.
Step 3: Calculate Your Recipe
Calculate the quantities of oils, lye, and liquid you'll need using a soap calculator. This ensures that your soap will have the correct balance of oils and lye for saponification, the chemical reaction that turns fats and lye into soap.
Step 4: Measure and Prepare Oils
Measure your chosen base oils using a scale. Heat the oils gently on a stovetop or microwave until they're melted, if necessary. Let the oils cool to around 100-110°F (38-43°C).
Step 5: Prepare the Lye Solution
Carefully measure the lye by weight, wearing protective gear. Add the lye to your chosen liquid (distilled water, milk, etc.) while stirring gently. The mixture will heat up and release fumes, so be cautious. Allow the lye solution to cool to around 100-110°F (38-43°C).
Step 6: Combine Oils and Lye Solution
Pour the lye solution into the melted oils. Use a stick blender to mix them together until you achieve "trace." Trace is the point at which the mixture thickens to a consistency resembling thin pudding. This indicates that saponification has begun.
Step 7: Add Essential Oils and Additives
Once you've reached trace, add your chosen essential oils or fragrance oils for scent. You can also incorporate additives like herbs, clays, or exfoliants at this stage for added benefits and texture.
Step 8: Pour Into Molds
Pour the soap mixture into your chosen molds. Silicone molds are popular for soap making due to their flexibility, which makes it easier to remove the soap once it's set. Gently tap the molds on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles.
Step 9: Cure the Soap
After pouring the soap, cover the molds with plastic wrap or a towel to insulate them. This helps to promote a gradual and even cooling process, which reduces the risk of cracking. Let the soap sit in the molds for about 24-48 hours.
Step 10: Unmold and Cut
Carefully remove the soap from the molds after the initial curing period. Cut the soap into bars using a sharp knife or a soap cutter. It's normal for the soap to still be a bit soft at this stage.
Step 11: Cure for Several Weeks
Place the cut bars on a curing rack or a well-ventilated area. Allow the soap to cure for 4-6 weeks. During this time, excess moisture evaporates, and the soap becomes harder, milder, and longer-lasting.
Step 12: Enjoy Your Handcrafted Soap
Once the curing period is over, your soap is ready to be used and enjoyed! The result is a beautiful, handcrafted bar of soap that's gentle on your skin and tailored to your preferences.
she’s literally so cute and so bad ass at the same time🖤

This hits home for me, because my mother before my dad got sick, saved her bacon fat, and when she had a lot made her own bath soap, and at 89, still does
良いですね♪
I make my hand soap and deodorant, been using it for about seven years. It’s all from edible products so you know it’s not doing you any harm. It works too and cost pennies. Most soaps, shampoos and cosmetics alarm hypnosis to sell snakeskin oil to vulnerable people, In particular they pray on women’s insecurities. Think of how many products women in the west, having their bathroom cabinets, all completely unnecessary and I ratcheting out and targeting all sectors of society. It’s very easy to make so lots of tutorials on TH-cam It only takes a few minutes good luck😊
Amazing sharing
So inspiring ❤
They look like food 😂
The only thing I would want to ask is how do you justify using the labor of another without just compensation? (bees) there is nothing a bee produces that we can't get from other sources and exploiting the european honeybee displaces native bee colonies and creates a single species that is vulnerable to disease and other issues.
what temperature does that soap hit the bubble wrap? is there plastic residue in the finished product? (microplastics)
Fun fact plants are sentient beings. Do you eat them? Did you properly compensate them before chewing them up, swallowing them and digesting them completely? Just curious.
@@shawndrachavarria2805 fun fact: saying fun fact doesn’t make something a fact.
Sentience means having the capacity to have feelings. This requires a level of awareness and cognitive ability. There is evidence for sophisticated cognitive concepts and for both positive and negative feelings in a wide range of nonhuman animals.
But the honey bees produce is meant to be consumed though. What do you suggest should happen?
@@stephentshima honey that is produced is their food for their hive… like a cows milk is for their calves. It should never have happened. Humans don’t need honey. Need bees though.
All the claims she is making is dangerous because she is claiming all FDA OTC guidelines. Where are the micro testing on the lotions??? I am not toting chemicals but people like this take the natural too far and have no testing or stability how about Micro testing on items sitting on the shelf it's people like this that.due to lack of knowledge have created so many other issues I am totally against it and have reported it to the FDA
Interesting, informative, and inspiring. Thank you!
