Soap making DIY - Cold process

I use basic ingredients - Olive Oil and Coconut oil to make bath soap.  The video demonstrates the "cold process" method.

WARNING:  This process calls for the use of Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH (also known as Lye).  Lye is caustic and can burn skin on contact!!  Use only with rubber gloves and goggles for eye protection.  In the event of contact, flush with water immediately.  Once this chemical reacts with our oils, it starts the process of saponification.  More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponif...

WARNING:  Do NOT use any aluminum pots or tools when using lye as it results in a potentially poisonous gas!!

WARNING:  Always add Lye to water in small quantities, in that order.  NEVER add water to lye crystals.
