In under fifteen minutes, Roe Sie, from the Kings Roost, shows you how to make a basic bar soap from scratch, using only organic olive and coconut oils, lye, and ice water. \rbr\rbrRECIPE:\rbr\rbrOrganic olive oil: 1,680 grams\rbrOrganic coconut oil: 683 grams\rbrLye: 337 grams\rbrIce water: 787 grams\rbr\rbrAdd essential fragrant oils to make it smell even better-- we used vanilla and sandalwood this time. DELISH. Its a fast and fun DIY project; it makes a great gift, and it feels awesome to use homemade soap instead of a lot of weird chemicals on your body. Get creative with your essential oil blends, add seeds, grains, mica and flower petals, and please let us know which combinations you love!\rbr\rbrTake the safety precautions seriously-- use protective eyewear, cover up all skin, and handle the caustic lye with extreme care. Keep all ingredients away from kids and pets. And use a gram scale to be accurate in getting your lye, water, and oil ratios exly right. The water measurement includes any ice you use. I use about half ice and half water, and measure it by weight to equal 787 grams. Its important not to be sloppy and no guesswork here, please.\rbr\rbrThe process is pretty fast, especially once youve done it a few times and have the hang of it. But be sure to let your soap cure (dry out) for 4-6 weeks so it doesnt turn into a slimy goopy mess in the shower. or, worse yet, irritate anyones skin.
