How to make soap at home (even if you failed chemistry).
Although soapmaking becomes cost-effective if you do it often, making your first batch can seem like a bit of an investment since none of the tools can be reused for cooking . I’ve linked above to low-priced options for many of the tools required, and thrift stores are also a great option for items like the pitcher and pot. Oils for soapmaking can be purchased in 7-pound bags, which will keep costs down quite a bit if you're making more than one batch.
If you like the simplicity of plain rectangular soap bars and think you’ll make more than a couple batches of soap, having a wooden loaf mold like the one shown here makes the process easy and consistent. Other options include silicone and PVC plastic molds, which come in many shapes and patterns. If you’re not ready to invest yet, a 9 by 12-inch baking pan or Pyrex dish that have seen better days and that your kitchen is willing to part with should also work just fine for this recipe.
for having fun with blending fragrance oils. You can also opt to make unscented soap and simply leave this ingredient out.You can now prepare the blend of oils to which you’ll add the lye. If you're using oils that are solid at room temperature, such as the coconut and palm oils in this recipe, you’ll first need to melt them so they can be poured, either by placing the container in a saucepan of simmering water or by melting them in the microwave.
If you lift the blender out and let some drips fall across the surface of the mixture, you should see them leave a visible pattern, called “trace,” before sinking back in.
