  1. Read all you can about home soapmaking for tips and safety.
  2. My soap making ingredients come from either Essential Depot or Bulk Apothecary; they provide product SAP values.
  3.  
  4. 39 oz coconut oil; 16 oz palm oil;
  5. 9.4 oz lye (NaOH), 23 oz H2O; based on SAP value.
  6.  
  7. Add oil to crock pot once measured. Medium/Low heat.
  8.  
  9. Mix lye to water (never water to lye); off gassing is toxic/hazardous; do in well ventilated area;
  10. Lye heats up to close to boiling (don't let boil!).
  11.  
  12. I try to add lye after solution clears to oil that has just melted (~100 degF).
  13.  
  14. Mixing! Monitor temperature. Keep some chilled H2O (up to 6 oz) nearby if soap exceeds 195 degF (bubbling up).
  15.  
  16. Once soap mix gets past the first 30-40 minutes, you can let sit for 1 hour. Make sure it goes through a temperature spike
  17. before letting sit. 2 hours if you don't have pH testers. Paper can work but you have to mix with a splash of water before testing.
  18.  
  19. After fully cooked, add ~75 mL fragrance (Eucalyptus & Frankincense, equal parts).
