how to make soap??

Question

i will like to know how to make my own soap.

Answer 1

The basic ingredients:

* Water - For best results, use rain, distilled, or soft water. You should generally use 6 oz. of water to 16 oz. of fat.
* Lye - An extremely dangerous ingredient that should be handled with the utmost care.
* Fats and oils - Fats for soap making include animal fats such as tallow (fat from beef), lard (fat from pork), and the various plant-derived oils. (Each fat requires a different amount of lye to change it to soap so visit the site's Lye to Fat Ratio Table for a list of the different fats and the amount of lye required to convert them to soap.)

You'll also need coloring dyes, fragrance oils, and some other ingredients, but the supplies above are the essentials for any aspiring soap maker.

Answer 2

I would stay away from the lye!!! Instead, buy a soap making kit from a discount craft supply store (such as Sunshine Crafts). That way, you can make your own soap that not only smells good; but looks good, too!!

Answer 3

I am not sure if you are wanting to make your own laundry soap or just your own bar soap, so here are recipes for both...
