CAUTION! ** CAUTION! ** CAUTION!
Before making homemade soap, heed ALL WARNINGS! Homemade soap recipes contain chemicals that can be potent, burn or blister the skin, if not used properly. Make sure to wear proper protective clothing: gloves, goggles, shoes, etc... before making homemade soap. Your body and the surrounding work area should be protected from splatters or spills.
WARNING # 1 - Never use large amounts of essential oils externally, or internally. Never use them straight. Essential oils must always be diluted in carrier oil, or soap, lotion, or other buffering agent.
Essential oils contain bioactive ingredients, which means they contain natural chemicals that interact with biological systems. They're potent chemicals! They should be respected and used with care. Never use them without knowing what their bioactive compounds can do.
WARNING # 2 - Lye can cause, extremely, burning pains if it contacts your skin! Always, wear protective gloves, clothing, goggles, shoes, etc... when using lye.
If you happen to get a lye burn, pour white vinegar on the burn to neutralize the lye. If you spill the lye, wipe the area with generous amounts of white vinegar to be sure all lye is neutralized.
WARNING # 3 – Never substitute oils in ANY soap recipes! Use the exact oil specified in the soap making recipe. If you want to use different oils, then the amount of lye will be different, too. Each soap making oil has a specific saponification value. The saponification value specifies the number of lye molecules needed to turn a molecule of oil into soap.
We want to leave just a few molecules of oil unsaponified so we know all the lye has been reacted with the oil. If there is extra lye left in the soap, it will be harsh and will, actually, damage your skin! Allow up to three weeks for soap to cure before using it.
