→How To Make Soap
Pour the soap into the mold and put the lid on the container. Wrap the mold in the towel and put it in an undisturbed area for 18 hours. Remove the towel and leave the soap for another two hours. Put on your gloves and turn the soap out of the mold. The soap still needs to cure and may be mildly caustic. Let the block sit for a day or two before you slice the soap into bars. Once you have sliced the bars, put them in a well ventilated box so that they do not touch each other and leave them for two weeks or longer. The longer the soap cures, the harder and milder it will be.

Your soap is now ready to use. Try to keep your homemade soap out of the stream of the shower if possible. This will help the bar to last longer.
