How to make a homemade soap

Do you even think that you can make your own brand new soap in your house? It's actually very simple and easy process that allows you to apply science hands on in your daily life and to show your creativity yet enjoy cooking in the kitchen. Sound great?

First, what you need is have to choose a combination of good quality of oils. For examples you can use palm oil, corn oil, soy oil, olive oil, castor oil, sunflower oil and etc. In addition, you also can add in your favourite fragrance (eventually I prefer lavender, because it helps to relieve my tension & stress) or essential oil for flavouring. Of course you need a lye solution or we can call it “sodium hydroxide (NaOH)” in the soap making process.

After you have prepared the ingredient, it is the time for us to start the process of making soap. Let’s begin step by step!

Step 1. The oil is measured depend on the quantity you like and poured into a small bowl.

Step 2. A small amount of the fragrance or essential oil is added into the oil.

Step 3. Then, add the lye solution onto it.

Step 4. The mixture is then stirred and heated. It is allowed to boil for about 15 minutes.

Step 5. The mixture is then poured into a plastic mold and then left for cooling on room temperature for 24 hours.

Step 6. After it is cooled completely, the plastic mold is flipped and the back is pressed.

The soap ready slice into any shape you like!
