A cold process soap making tutorial with a complete explanation and demonstration of how to masterbatch lye and oils for cold process soap making. You do not need to be making huge amounts of soap to benefit from master batching (masterbatching) your lye and oils. Even if you make one loaf of soap a week, you can easily make a month or two's lye and oils in advance giving you several advantages:
Saves time each time you make soap
Ingredients ready to go anytime you need them
Easy to quickly make a very small batch to test a new fragrance or colorant
Better accuracy as slight under or over measurements have a much smaller impact on a larger volume.
Please make sure whenever you are mixing lye that you have a proper lye safe bottle, it should have a number 2 or 5 on the bottom, also do not fill it right to the top, the lye gets hot and the bottle needs to expand a bit, if you have filled right to the top you can get a lot of pressure on the cap, so just leave a gap and you will be fine. I have never had any issues with mine

Disclaimer
Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.
