Soap Making

Soap making is a process that combines fats or oils with an alkaline substance, like lye, through a chemical reaction called saponification. This transforms the ingredients into soap and glycerin. The process involves mixing these components, sometimes adding fragrances or colors, then pouring the mixture into molds to cool and harden. Once set, the soap is cut into bars, cured to improve texture, and ready for use. It's a blend of chemistry and craft that results in a functional and often personalized cleansing product.
