You may think that there is no sense in making your own soap. You can simply go to the drug store and having many different soaps to choose from right then and there. You probably also think that it has to be complicated or everybody would be making their own soaps and there wouldn’t be so many available at the store. This is false, however, because making soap is not as complicated as you think. It is a simple chemical reaction with lye, oils, and fragrances, and that’s about it.

• Cold process is making soap from scratch, but requires working with lye.

“Soap is the result of a basic chemical reaction between fats or oils and lye. That’s it.”
