Soap Making!

Mom and I have been wanting to make handmade soap for a long time. RockyTopSoapCompany was featured on Etsy.com last week and his incredible soaps really put me over the top - we instantly set sail for stores that were selling the supplies we'd need (which, by the way, are really hard to find.)

Here's what we came up with. Let me know if you'd like to buy a bar.

 Measuring the liquid fats.

 Measuring the solid fats.

Measuring the lye.

Melting and heating the fats.

Dissolving the lye.

 

 

Scent and texture agents.

Whipping to "trace point".

Molding.

Making labels.

 After setting for 24 hours. Now I need to let the cut slabs saponify for 4 weeks!
