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 discussing lye, which is a crucial ingredient in soap making (you can't make soap without it!) It is also known as Sodium Hydroxide, Caustic Soda or as NaOH (it's molecular formation).
Lye can be a dangerous ingredient if it is handled incorrectly or if you are not sure of how to use it, so we are taking time to discuss proper use, storage and safety tips in detail in today's video. It is hugely important that you do not begin using lye until you are familiar with correct usage of it and what not to do with it.
Lye can be purchased online from the following soap making stores:
The Soap Kitchen
Mystic Moments
The Soapmakers Store
