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.

In Part 4 (the previous episode) we added colorant and fragrance oils to one batch of soap. Since this soap we're making will feature two distinct bands of color, we'll need to perform this process once more with the second batch.

Just like before, I add the colorant to the soap and stir continuosly to make it mix in fully. Afterwards, I add 8 oz of fragrance oil. This is done just like the colorant, by stiring it in continously. Keep stiring until it's all mixed. We don't want any pockets of fragrance oil.

Once it's all ready, you can move over to your soap mold to pour it. As you can see, we already have the first layer (the green layer) in the mold. It's been setting up for about 5 minutes now. Go ahead and begin to pour your soap into the soap mold. It's ok that the first layer is not totally set-up yet. The additional layer will sink into it a little bit in some places, wihch adds character to your finished soap.

Once the soap is all poured, you'll want to give it a light shake to the left and right so that any bubbles that may have been trapped during the pouring process can come to the surface. Then you'll want to make sure your soap is level before moving on to prepare the final batch.
