Making Hand-Milled Soap with our Base

We make a Hand-Milled cold processed soap, that you can melt down, add fragrance, color and add your own additives.  This provides you with a natural soap (not detergent) and you can sell without messing with LYE.  If you have want to make natural soap but didn't know how or want to mess with making it..then this is your answer.

Step 1-  If you bought our fresh soap logs, you will need to grate your soap down using a cheese grater or a food processor.

Grate your soap down place into microwave safe container

Step 2- Place Grated soap 1 pound at time into a microwavable container. Cover with plastic wrap to hold in moisture.

Step 3- Cook at 1 to 1.5 mins at a time (so you don't over cook it), stir and repeat. If it seems to be on the dry side add 2 tablespoons glyercine and a tablespoon of water, (or milk, coffee or any other liquid you would normally use in soapmaking) mix... if mixture is still too dry add water a tablespoon at time.

 

 

Step 4-  Once mixture has melted down, you can then add color, additives and fragrance.

Step 5- Spoon into prepared mold.  I used a log mold, it works great to cut into soap bars! Be sure push soap down into mold very good to avoid holes (air pockets).

Step 5- With a plastic wrapped wooden lid, push on to soap mixture to get flat and smooth. Let sit for 24 hours or until it's solid. It doesn't need to be covered up as in Cold Processed Soapmaking.

Step 6- Let air dry out of the mold for a few days before cutting.  Then cut into bars.  Soap will be ready as soon as they are dried out.  This will depend on how much water, milk or coffee liquids you added in the beginning.  The best thing is too add liquids in small increments so you can shorten the cure/dry out time.
