Is soap really that easy to make? The answer is yes, it's easy, but it does take time. The first time I made lye soap, I was so nervous, but like any recipe, the more you use it, the more familiar and comfortable you become. This is one reason I would suggest picking a recipe and sticking with it a few times to master the process before trying a more difficult one. Now, if you are a person who would like a visual on a process like this, then follow the YouTube tutorial above. The video is for the same recipe so you shouldn't see any difference besides the type of essential oil you can change up for each batch. Let's begin.
