1. Using a digital scale, measure out the lye and water in separate glass containers. Combine them by adding the lye to the water. (Remember: snow floats on the lake.). Stir until the lye dissolves. The temperature will shoot up. Place this in a safe place to cool.
2. While the lye solution is cooling, measure out the oils and butters and combine them in a large stainless pot. Melt them over low heat and heat them up to 130-140 degrees. Set them aside to cool.
3. After 2 hours, check the temperature of both solutions. They should be around 110 degrees. (A range of 100-120 is fine.). If not, allow them to cool longer.
4. Prepare your mold and measure out any fragrance or color you will be adding. (For best blending of colors, mix some color into a few drops of melted oils.). If using sodium lactate, add it to the lye water at this time.

Simple & Moisturizing Hot Process Soap Recipe • Lovely Greens

1. Ensure that your kitchen workspace is clean and set up with all of your tools, ingredients, and equipment. Please also prepare yourself by wearing long sleeves, closed-toe shoes, goggles, and plastic gloves. Soap making is fun but also chemistry so you need to work safely. I'd also advise that you make soap when smaller children aren't around put pets in a closed room somewhere. It's best to work undistracted, and you want to keep them safe.
2. Put on your goggles and gloves, and make the lye solution. You should do this in a well-ventilated area and try not to breathe in the steam. I like to work outisde for this step or next to an open window. Measure the sodium hydroxide (lye) into a container and the distilled water into a heat-proof jug.
3. Though you can melt the solid oils in the slow cooker, it takes a long time. To speed things up, place the pan of solid oils on the hob and turn it on to the lowest heat setting. They will melt quicker than you expect, so stay with the pan, moving the oil around in the pan to help speed up melting. When there are a few small pieces of solid oil still floating, take the pan off the heat and set it on a potholder. They'll melt with the residual heat and some gentle stirring with your spoon/spatula.
4. Next, pour the liquid oils into the slow cooker with the melted oils. Use the spatula to get every last drop out of the jug then stir the oils together gently.
