The first step of making your own soap with lye is to measure the lye and water in two separate stainless steel bowls, using a kitchen scale. Then, combine them by pouring the lye into the water, stirring the mixture until the lye fully dissolves in the water. The lye-water liquid is caustic, so make sure not to touch it or breathe in any fumes.
To make handmade soap, all you need is fat, water, and lye. For the fat, you can use tallow, lard, or palm oil depending on what is most accessible to you. Some natural soap recipes use coconut oil or olive oil as well. Your water should be filtered and pure, and the lye you use should have 0-1% excess fat.
First calculate the lye for each oil independently, then add them all together to get an overall weight of lye required to saponify the oils. Ingredients here are taken from my basic soap recipe, we simply multiply the grams of each oil by the SAP value in the chart below. Olive Oil – 500g X 0.134 = 67g Lye. Coconut Oil – 300g X 0.190 = 57g Lye.
While melting the fats, pour four and a half cups of soft water into the stainless steel saucepan. Carefully add the lye to the water, stirring gently with a plastic spoon. Be careful not to inhale the fumes. Set the mixture aside to cool to 85 degrees. Make sure the fat is 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the lye-water mixture is 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
