5 VERY USEFUL TIPS!

#1 Safety First:

They do say that don't they...... well it's true and very important when it comes to working with soap's main ingredient, Lye. Because Lye involves a heating process you need to make sure you have an apron, rubber gloves and safety goggles to avoid any burns. Lye is caustic and can be dangerous if the proper precautions aren't taken care of. Easy soap making is not difficult, keep it simple!

#2 Avoid The Mess:

When your adding ingredients to your soap that are sticky a good example is honey, use a non-stick cooking spray to spray your untesils with, this will stop the ingredients sticking to your tools and also ensure your measurements are correct.

#3 Be a Smooth Soaper:

You may find that the soap you have made from molds get little bubbles on the surface of the soaps, a great way to remove these is by rubbing some surface alcohol on bubbles and blending them in with your finger, this should smooth out the soaps surface.

#4 Trace & Sapnification:

I know what you're thinking......What the heck does that mean? Well these two concepts are very important when it comes to easy soap making and two which you need to understand. These two concepts ultimately affect the end result of your soap. An example is that a trace is when your soap takes on a consistency like cake batter and leaves behind a trail when dripped or dribbled onto the soap surface. Saponification (meaning soap making) is the chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils come into contact with lye. This is very imporatant because different types of oil have different measurement values to the lye, so always follow your recipes, or it wont work.

#5 Patience:

Patience is a very vital point with easy soap making, if there is a waiting period for the time in which your soap is going to be ready (you will know this by the process you choose) then wait for it! Even though its exciting to see the end result the soap batch will be damaged if you take them out of molds too soon. It is also important to make sure the soap has completely cooled.

Soap making is a fun hobby, it has low start up costs and once you get going, you'll never look back. So whether your soaping for fun, profit or to spoil loved ones, the result is the same a creation entirely your own that is natural, unique, beneficial and totally worth it!
