Estimated Reading Time: 8 minsViews: 678K1. Add 40 fluid ounces (1,200 mL) of olive oil to your slow cooker on high heat. First, use a measuring cup to measure out and pour 40 fluid ounces (1,200 mL) of olive oil into your slow cooker. Then, turn the slow cooker on high to heat the oil. While traditional castile soap only uses olive oil, you can use additional vegetable oils in place of some of the olive oil as well. For example, you can replace 16 fluid ounces (470 mL) of the olive oil with 16 ounces (450 g) of coconut oil for an extra hydrating and cleaning liquid soap. You can also replace some of the olive oil with hemp oil or jojoba oil to help fight skin inflammation and redness. Just make sure that the amount of oil used still adds up to 40 fluid ounces (1,200 mL).
2. Wear safety gloves and goggles in a ventilated space. While the oil is heating up, put on safety gloves and goggles to protect your skin and eyes. Then, ventilate your space by turning on the vent hood and opening 1 or 2 windows. Direct contact to potassium hydroxide lye flakes, and even exposure due to lack of ventilation, can burn your skin and even cause blindness if it gets in your eyes.
3. Mix the potassium hydroxide lye flakes with distilled water. Use a measuring cup to pour 32 fluid ounces (950 mL) of distilled water into a large glass mixing bowl. Then, measure out 9 ounces (260 g) of potassium hydroxide lye flakes and add them carefully to the distilled water. Use a silicone spatula to mix the lye solution, stirring slowly and carefully until the flakes are completely dissolved. You can buy potassium hydroxide lye flakes online and at some apothecary stores. Using distilled water is necessary because the pH and mineral content of tap water varies from one place to another. This can greatly impact the chemical reactions during the soap-making process, as well as its purity and cleaning ability. If you want the castile soap to be even more moisturizing, you can add 8 ounces (230 g) of glycerin to the lye solution.
4. Stir the oil and add the lye solution into the slow cooker. First, use your spatula to stir the oil that’s been heating up in the slow cooker to make sure it’s warm and mixed, if you used more than 1 type of oil. Then, carefully pour the lye solution into the slow cooker, adding it slowly so the solution doesn’t splash.
