I've been trying to learn how to make my own soap. What are the different types of soap I can make?

You can make cold process soap, hot process soap, melt and pour soap, whipped soap, and glycerin soap. Cold process soap is made by mixing lye with oils and fats in a pot or pan over heat and stirring until the mixture reaches a certain temperature. Hot process soap is made by melting oils and fats and then adding lye to the melted fat/oil mix. Melt and Pour soap is made by combining lye and fats/oils together in a bowl and then pouring it into molds. Whipped Soap is made by combining lye and fats/oils together in a bowl and then whipping them with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes. Glycerin soap is made by combining lye and fats/oils together in a bowl and then adding glycerin.
