Instructions
Measure oils on your scale. Warm on the stove or in the microwave. Bring temperature to near 120 F. Exact temperature is not critical.Add sodium hydroxide to the water. Mix well. Allow to cool to near 120 F. Exact temperature is not critical.
Combine oils and lye solution and add the colorant. Stir until trace. Add Rose Fragrance Oil. Stir well. Pour soap into molds.
Allow to sit until soap is firm. Depending on the depth of the mold this will happen in 6 to 36 hours. Deeper molds allow for faster firming.
Cut into bars. Stack to allow good air circulation. Allow to cure for several days before using. Longer curing will result in a harder bar.
