 |
This
tank can hold 85 gallons of soap mixture,
enough to make 2100 bars at a time! |
 |
Checking
temperature of oils before adding lye and
water mixture to start the soap process. |
 |
Lye
is poured into the oils, (already measured
out exactly into buckets) It is stirred with
a drill to emulsify the mixture and then will
be stirred by hand until the mixture reaches
"trace" (thickens enough to ensure
it will not separate back into oil and water
when poured into the molds). |
 |
From
there we add colors, natural essential oils,
and often oats, flowers or grains for texture. |
 |
The
soap is then stirred to trace and poured into
molds. |
 |
The
molds will be stacked and incubated and will
turn into soap in 36 to 48 hours. |
 |
Incubated
molds will turn into finished soap while it
is kept warm. |
 |
The
Soap will be cut first into logs... |
 |
...
and then the logs will be cut into bars. |
 |
After
the soap has cured for 3 weeks, labels are
designed and printed in-house, cut down and
put on the soaps. |
