Soap Making Basics

Last Modified February 24, 2017 By Staff Writer

When it comes to soap making there are some basics you must know before you begin. It is imperative that you know about lye because you cannot make soap without it. The reaction that happens between lye and fats produces solid soap. Some other tips for handmade soap include letting mold sit for twenty four hours and then storing it in a shoe box. Once you get these basics down then you can experiment with different additives.

Key Takeaways:

  • The beauty of crafting your own soap is that you can choose the scent, color, and size, and it’s much more cost-effective than buying soap at the store.
  • The soap-making process takes about an hour; however, the cooling and curing process takes around four weeks.
  • The cold process is the most common, basic soap-making process. You can make soaps in a variety of different shapes thanks to the abundance of molds available on the market today.
