These instructions are intended for someone who already knows good soap safety.

Let's Make Soap!

Weigh Lye in plastic container. Weigh COLD water in large plastic pitcher. (Rubbermaid pitcher is good.)

Slowly pour lye into the water. Stir well. Set aside to cool for about 1 hour. Room Temperature lye solution is best.

Weight fats and then put them in a stainless steel pot. Let the fat temperature get to 120-130 degrees F.

When Fats are at the right temperature, slowly pour the room temperature lye solution into the fats. Hand Stir, then use a Braun Hand Blender to mix for a minute, then hand stir for a minute, off and on like that for about 5 to 10 minutes. You will see the soap coming out of the hand blender is the same shade as the soap going into the hand blender. This means you've stirred enough.

Hand stir in the soap making Lavender Fragrance, then pour all of your soap making molds 2/3rds full.

Put the colorant into the soap that is left in the pot. Mix with the Hand blender for about 1 minute to blend it in well.

Drizzle the violet soap over your soap in your molds. With your spoon, drag it through the soaps and that will swirl it in.

Put soap molds aside in a warm room for 24 hours. Then flip the molds over, remove the soaps and let air dry for 4-6 weeks. You can use the soap after 24 hours, but it will be a much better bar after complete curing.

NOTE: You will notice that the violet colorant will turn a dark blue color at first. Then after a day it'll turn a powder blue. After a few days of curing, it will become its beautiful violet color. So don't panic when you see this happen. :)
