How do you make DIY soap at home?

Transcription

To make DIY soap at home, you can use either the melt-and-pour method or the cold process. For melt-and-pour, melt a pre-made soap base, add fragrances or colorants, pour into molds, and let it harden^[1][5][6]. For cold process, mix lye with water (always add lye to water), then combine with oils, blend until trace, pour into molds, and cure for 4 to 6 weeks^[4][9][11]. Always wear protective gear when working with lye^[2][10][11].
