Heating the oils and butters while the lye cools
|
|
|
Here I am blending the oils and the lye water together. This is a bit tricky. I
add the scent and any other ingredients, like cocoa powder, cinnamon and so forth.
This is a batch of Gentleman Farmer.

|
|
The mold is ready for me to pour in the soap.
|
|
|
Gentleman Farmer is in the mold. I add the dividers…
|
|
|
And now it needs to sit till tomorrow. This batch does not need to be kept warm.
Some types I need to cover with a wooden lid and a bath towel so they cool slowly.
|
|
|
I take it out of the molds…
|
|
|
And let it cure for 2-3 weeks.

|
Wrapped and ready to go
