Make sure it’s 100% lye) Directions: Weigh oils and heat over stove until 120-140 degrees Weigh water While wearing protective gloves, long sleeves, pants, and eye protection, measure lye. Always carefully add lye to water, not vice versa. Carefully mix water and lye together, don’t breathe it in. It will heat up fast, let cool to 120 – 140 degrees When both oil and lye/water are within a few degrees of each other (120-140 degrees), carefully pour lye mixture into oil and mix with an immersion blender until it’s a thin pudding texture. Then pour into your “loaf”, it can be a box lined with parchment paper or even a garbage bag. Wait 24 hours and cut your soap It’s best to wait a few weeks if possible before using because it makes a harder, longer lasting bar. But in a pinch, it’s ok to use after a few days.
