Gather Organic Ingredients and Tools
Gather organic oils, lye, distilled water, essential oils, and any additional natural ingredients. Ensure you have safety equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a well-ventilated area for working with lye.
Mix the Ingredients
Carefully mix the oils, lye, and water together, ensuring the mixture reaches trace, which is the point at which the ingredients have emulsified.
Pour the Mixture into Molds
Once the mixture has reached trace, pour it into molds of your choice. Consider using silicone molds for easy removal.
Allow the Soap to Cure
After pouring the mixture into molds, allow the soap to cure for 4-6 weeks. This allows the soap to harden and the lye to fully neutralize.
Use and Store the Homemade Soap
Once the soap has cured, it is ready to use. Store the soap in a cool, dry place to prolong its shelf life. Enjoy your eco-friendly homemade soap with organic ingredients!
