Types of Soap Making Processes

There are many online resources that you can find for five different methods when you want to make your own soap. Here are some of those resources:

1. The cold soap process (http://www.soap-making-resource.com/cold-process-soap-making.html),
2. The hot soap process (http://www.instructables.com/id/Handmade-Hot-Process-Soap),
3. The translucent soap process (http://www.lovinsoap.com/2016/08/make-clear-transparent-soap-scratch-making-transparent-soap-guide),
4. The milled soap process (https://preparednessmama.com/hand-milled-soap),
5. The melt and pour process that will be described in this online tutorial.

This tutorial emphasizes the melt and pour method. I use virgin based cubes made from goats’ milk or glycerin. The tutorial explains how to melt down the base soap cubes, and then customize the melted cubes by adding color and fragrances. This process is very popular when working with novice soap makers and children. The base soaps do not contain lye. Use the navigation bar in the top left of your screen to go through the tutorial.
