Welcome to our "Soap making for Beginners" guide! Over the next 7 days, we will be uploading a mini series of videos focusing on soap making for absolute beginners. We will cover things such as equipment, lye safety, soap making oils, terminology and how to make your very first soap.
We have put together this guide as we have had a lot of questions from people asking how to get into soap making and how they can learn to make soap. We are not the first people to put together a guide like this, but we know that when you are new to soap making it helps to have as many different resources to learn from as possible!
We have tried to cover everything that we can think of in our guide and if you watch each of our daily episodes they will hopefully give you a basic understanding of how to begin making soap safely. We will be covering a different soap making topic each days for the next seven days.
In today's episode we will be making our second loaf of soap. We will be showing you how to layer soap in today's video and we will be colouring our soap in two different shades of blue. We have chosen to scent the loaf with Peppermint essential oil, though you can scent with a different oil if you wish to (but do check safe usage rates first) or you can leave your loaf unscented.
If you are unsure about any aspect of the soap making process then it is important that you stop and do not attempt to make soap and instead research things further until you do feel confident!
If you are planning to follow our recipe, then you will need the following ingredients:
221g Water
110.5g Sodium Hyrdoxide
560g Olive Oil
200g Coconut oil
40g Castor Oil
1g "Hollywood Gaze" mica (or any other colour mica)
1g "Tropical Temptations" mica (or any other colour mica)
16g Peppermint Essential Oil (or another scent, optional)
If you have any comments or questions along the way, please do let us know so we can do our best to help you learn how to make soap!
