Step 3 – Blending to Trace
- Use a stick blender to mix the lye and oils together.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to pudding.
- “Reaching ‘trace’ means the soap is thick enough to hold a droplet on its surface.”
Step 4 – Pour into Molds
- Pour the soap mixture into silicone molds.
- Tap the molds gently on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
Step 5 – Curing
- Allow the soap to set in the mold for 24 hours.
- After setting, remove the soap from the molds and let it cure for four to six weeks on a drying rack.
Notes
- Ensure all utensils and pots are stainless steel or silicone to avoid unwanted chemical reactions.
- Keep your workspace well-ventilated when working with lye.
