How to Use for Hot Process Soap

You’ll Need:

• 136g Sodium Hydroxide

• 252g Distilled/De-ionised Water

• Slow Cooker

• Stick Blender, Soap Mould, Safety Gear

Instructions:

1. Safety First: Wear gloves, long sleeves, goggles, and a mask when handling lye.

2. Make Lye Solution: Slowly add 136g sodium hydroxide to 252g water (never the reverse), stir until dissolved.

3. Melt Oils: Add your premix to a slow cooker and melt on high until fully clear.

4. Blend & Cook: Add the lye solution to warm oils, blend to trace, then cook on low for 1 hour. Stir occasionally and observe the stages (Champagne Bubbles → Applesauce → Mashed Potato).

5. Finish & Mould: Once fully cooked, add fragrance or colourants. Spoon thick batter into moulds, smooth tops, and allow to cool before cutting. Bars are safe to use immediately but benefit from a 4–6 week cure.
