Basic Methods of Making Soap

There are four basic methods for making soap at home. Two of the most
popular methods are the "melt and pour" and cold process. The hot
process and rebatching are more advanced methods.

1. Melt and pour: This easy process involves melting pre-made

blocks of soap and adding your own fragrance.
2. Cold process: The cold process is the most common method of
making soap from scratch using oils and lye.
3. Hot process: A variation of the cold process method, the hot
process requires cooking the soap is actually cooked in a slow
cooker or oven.
4. Rebatching: This method grinds up and re-blends batches of
poorly made homemade soap.

Each method has pros, cons, and variations. Review the two most
popular methods to select your method.

Melt and Pour Soap Making Method

Making soap with a melt and pour base is safe, easy, and convenient.
The base has already gone through the saponification process, so you
won't need to handle lye. First, purchase pre-made blocks of uncolored,
unscented soap “base” from a craft store or soap supplier. The soap base
is then melted in a microwave or a double boiler. When the soap is fully
melted you can add fragrance, color, and additives. Pour the mixture into
a mold and the soap is ready to use when it hardens.
