So you'd like to make your own soaps? You've come to the right place. Today I'm going to show you to make your own handmade soaps.
A quick note: Since every soap recipe is different, I won't be going into exact measurements for each step. You will learn some Best Practices and tricks along the way.
We've got our lye-water and our oils. We've mixed them together. Now what do we do? Separate them!
This particular recipe for Tangerine Sage soap is a three color process so we'll be dividing our soap into three separate groups. The first bucket will get 8 lbs. The second bucket will also get 8 lbs. Now that we've got our buckets of soap separated, it's time to add the essential oils and the colorant.
I'll pour a bit of the soap into a small container filled with colorant powder. Once I've mixed that a bit I'll pour it back into the large bucket of soap. I'll use my spoon to stir it in. Once I've gotten all the colorant into the soap bucket, i'll have to work fast because it sets up quickly.
After the colorant has been mixed, it's time to add the fragrance oil to the soap. Be sure to pour it all and mix it thoroughly so that there are no pockets of fragrance oil. Quickly take your bucket and pour it into your soap mold. You'll probably notice that it's already beginning to set up a bit. All the more reason to act quickly...
Stick around because we're going to be adding a new layer to our soap shortly!
