Making Cold-Process Soap from Lye and Oils — Saponification Chemistry

Make bar soap by combining sodium hydroxide (lye) with a blend of oils and fats in a process called cold-process saponification. The lye reacts with fatty acids to form soap (sodium salts of fatty acids) and glycerin. The chemistry is precise: the ratio of lye to oil must be calculated exactly for each oil type.
