Steps:

• Put on goggles and gloves.
• Weigh the water into a stainless steel or heavy duty plastic container.
• Weigh the lye into a small cup.
• Sprinkle the lye into the water and stir until dissolved. (Don't breathe in the temporary, but strong fumes.)
• Cool the lye solution in a safe spot for 30 - 40 minutes, or until about 100 to 115 degrees F.
• Stir in the sodium lactate, if using.
• Melt the tallow (or butter) and coconut oil, then combine with the remaining oils.
• Add the rosemary oleoresin extract (ROE) to the oils, if using.
• Pour the cooled lye solution into the warm oils.
• Use a combination of hand stirring and brief short bursts of the immersion blender to mix until soap reaches light trace.
• Add the lavender essential oil, and the oatmeal, if using.
• Stir until blended.
• Pour soap into molds.
• Cover lightly with a sheet of wax paper, then a towel or blanket to insulate.
• Keep the soaps in their mold for 1 to 2 days or until easy to remove.
• Cure the soaps on sheets of wax paper in the open air, turning occasionally, for 4+ weeks before using.
