I document the process of making my first batch of soap from home using only two oils, coconut and olive oil.
Since the filming of this video, I have perfected the measurements:
453g Coconut Oil,
453g Olive Oil,
137g Sodium Hydroxide,
344 Distilled Water, (Rainwater works too),
1 once Lavender Oil. You can choose how strong you want the fragrance. By calculating using a soap fragrance calculator. Light scent (1.7oz) 41g, Medium (2.20) 62g, Strong (2.94) 82g.
I recommend you use a soap calculator online to make sure your measurements are correct.
I'm not 100% sure why my soap wasn't hard enough to cut after just 24 hours. It could be a few things, The Sodium Hydroxide container lid wasn't secured well when I received it so I'm assuming it could have absorbed moisture and seeing as I didn't use an electronic scales my measures could be off a little. Either way the soap has hardened up well. We'll see how the next batches go with the right tools.
