soap making the easy way


Good to my word, here is the most simple soap project ever. Working with a base is safe and guaranteed to work. There's no nasty caustic soda and thermometers and protective gear oh NO! None of that. Just as it says, we do it with 'melt and pour' soap. It's very rewarding to get a great result first up, with a no fail soap. This soap is soft and lush, with a hint of fragrance and honey, such luxury!
I suggest the microwave be used at 80% first minute then reduced to about 50% checking at short intervals until the melting is almost complete - the rest will melt while you stir in the beeswax, essential oil and honey.
You could try other variations, using herbs and spices for example.
Then it's ready to pour - select your moulds. They can be commercially produced as those on our site or any containers from the kitchen.
If you need any help give me a call, see contact details soapmaking.com.au
