This step-by-step guide will teach you everything you need to know about making natural handmade soap, from choosing the right ingredients to creating beautiful, fragrant bars of soap.

Choosing The Right Ingredients

The first step in making natural handmade soap is choosing the right ingredients.

The most important ingredient in soap is lye. Lye is a strong alkali that saponifies fats and oils, turning them into soap. You can buy lye in hardware stores or online.

Other essential ingredients in soap include fats and oils. Fats and oils provide the soap with its cleansing properties. You can use any type of fat or oil to make soap, but some of the most popular choices include olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil.

In addition to lye and fats and oils, you can also add other ingredients to your soap, such as essential oils, herbs, and clays. These ingredients can give your soap a variety of different scents, colors, and properties.

Creating Beautiful, Fragrant Bars Of Soap

Once you have chosen your ingredients, you can begin creating your soap.

The first step is to mix the lye with water. This will create a lye solution. The lye solution is then added to the fats and oils. The mixture is then stirred until it reaches a trace. Trace is the point at which the soap has thickened enough to leave a trail on the surface of the mixture.

Once the soap has reached a trace, you can add any essential oils, herbs, or clays that you want to use. The soap is then poured into molds and allowed to cure for several weeks.

After the soap has cured, it is ready to use. You can use your natural handmade soap for a variety of purposes, such as washing your hands, taking a bath, or shaving.
