Categories     Bath/Beauty

Time P16DT15m

Yield 12 2oz. bars

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups olive oil
1/2 cup lye, granules
2 cups cold water

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil on low flame to approximately 80-85 F.
  • Dissolve the lye in the water.
  • Cool to about 70-75 F.
  • Pour the lye solution in a thin, steady stream, into the oil with slow, even stirring.
  • You shouldn't be heating the mixture at this time.
  • Continue stirring until a thick, honeylike texture is obtained.
  • This will take 10-20 minutes.
  • Note: If the soap mixture does not become thick within 30 minutes, and there is a greasy layer on top, it may be too warm.
  • If this happens, set the container in cool water and keep stirring from the sides and the bottom.
  • Contrastingly, if the mixture is lumpy, it may be too cold.
  • If this happens, set it in a pan of warm water and stir until the lumps disappear.
  • Pour the thickened soap mixture into your molds.
  • Cover.
  • Keep warm for a minium of 24 hours.
  • This allows the saponification process to take place slowly and will prevent the mixture from separating.
  • You can wrap your soap molds in an old blanket.
  • When the soap is set, remove it from the molds and cut it into bars.
  • Allow the soap to age for atleast 2 weeks in a dry place.
  • Note: If the soap is crumbly or has streaks of grease, it may be reclaimed as follows: Cut the soap into fine pieces.
  • Add 2 cups of water and dissolve over low flame.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • When the lumps have disappeared, increase the heat and boil until the soap appears thick.
  • Pour soap in molds and continue as explained above.

  • Prepare your workstation with your tools and equipment, and have your mold at the ready. Put on rubber gloves, eye protection, and an apron. Carefully pre-measure the ingredients. The olive oil can go in a small stainless steel pan, the water into a heat-proof jug, and the lye in another container. If you're using it, pre-measure the essential oil into its own small dish or ramekin.
  • Make your lye solution in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors, by an open window, or under a kitchen extractor that ventilates to the outdoors. With your goggles and gloves on, pour the lye onto the water and stir it in. Keep your face away from the steam that comes up and be prepared for the water to get very hot. Stir until the lye is completely dissolved and then set the jug in a basin of water to cool down. You want it to cool to 100°F / 38°C and can begin warming the olive oil as it cools.
  • Warm the olive oil in its pan on low until it reaches about 100°F / 38°C. When both the oil and the lye solution are within about five degrees of one another, it's time to mix. Take your pan off the heat and proceed to the next step.
  • Pour the lye solution through a fine-mesh strainer and into the olive oil in the pan. Stir it together and then use an immersion blender (stick blender) to bring it to 'trace'. Trace is when the soap begins thickening up to a warm and thin custard-like consistency.
