Beginners guide to cold process soap making, Episode 4: Soap making terminology useful words to know

Welcome to our "Soap making for Beginners" guide! Over the next 7 days, we will be uploading a mini series of videos focusing on soap making for absolute beginners. We will cover things such as equipment, lye safety, soap making oils, terminology and how to make your very first soap.

We have put together this guide as we have had a lot of questions from people asking how to get into soap making and how they can learn to make soap. We are not the first people to put together a guide like this, but we know that when you are new to soap making it helps to have as many different resources to learn from as possible!

We have tried to cover everything that we can think of in our guide and if you watch each of our daily episodes they will hopefully give you a basic understanding of how to begin making soap safely. We will be covering a different soap making topic each days for the next seven days.

In today's episode we will be introducing you to some common soap making words and phrases. There is an awful lot of soap making terminology and some of it can be confusing when you are just starting soap making! We don't want to bombard you with too many new terms to begin with, so for today we will be introducing you to just a few of the soap making words and phrases that we feel are the most common and most important ones to learn and understand the meaning of.

If you have any comments or questions along the way, please do let us know so we can do our best to help you learn how to make soap!
