Hi all. Today we will be making hot process soap.
Now if you are not sure what hot process soap is; well it's an extension of cold process soap.
Heres an article i wrote 5 years ago on the different methods to make soap. Hot process soap has the same benefits of cold process soap; only this time you cook the soap instead of waiting it to cure for 4-6 weeks. By cooking it you no longer need to wait for 4-6 weeks to use the soap; you can use it immediately:-)
The last time we did a hot process soap tutorial was in 2016 here. This is our second post of it and its definitely not going to be our last. Throughout this next few days; I'll be showing you different styles of hot process soap that you could make.
The oils we are using in this is the same as our standard cold process soap oils; The coconut, The Palm, The Olive and The Castor oil. Same benefit that will give you a soap that is hard, that give you nice bubble and cleansing and also moisturising.
To 'sweeten' it up a bit; we gave it a name: The magical Mango; and true enough like magic; it smells so heavenly when we added the mango papaya fragrance oil and some colors. Check it out and do make it! and let me know how it goes:-)

- Turn your crock pot on high. Add in your Oil Mix into the crock pot.
- Once everything is melted, add in your Lye Water carefully into the pot.
- Using a hand blender, mix and blend the mixture until it reaches this trace. Once there, place the lid on and leave soap for 20 - 30 minutes.
- After half an hour, soap will thicken, especially around the edges of the crock pot.
- Using a spatula, break them up and mix everything together. Place the lid back on and leave the mixture again for another 20 - 30 minutes.
