Tips:
* Always use safety goggles and gloves when making soap.
* Use a stainless pot or special plastic container for soap making.
*Always work in a ventilated area when preparing the lye.
* Never mix water into lye, which can cause a dangerous chemical reaction.
First pour the water, then the lye.
* It is safe to use your cooking tools for soap making, you just have to wash them well afterwards.
* You can also use olive pomace oil, which is cheaper and you get a very similar quality soap to pure olive oil soap.
* If you use olive pomace oil you reach trace faster and a pudding consistency. If you use pure olive oil it takes longer to reach trace and it is much lighter.
* It usually takes 2 - 10 minutes for soap to trace.
Enjoy your homemade soap!
