How to Make (Personalized!) Soap

Customized soaps cannot only be done by professionals. You can make a personalized soap right at your home. They make a great gift, perfect for an upcoming holiday season. Melt and pour method, unlike the cold soap making process, can be done by a beginner and will not take more than a day. However, since melted soap can be very hot, caution should be exercised when handling the mixture. There are many possibilities in which you can customize your soap, from colors to shapes, and every combination ensures the uniqueness of your soap.

Key Takeaways:

• The arduous, traditional cold-process method of creating hand soaps can take up to four to six weeks to get done.
• A far simpler melt-and-pour method can yield several small bars of soap in a mere day.
• Remember, if during the process your soap starts to harden prematurely, a 10 second re-liquify in the microwave should suffice.
