I want to learn how to make my own homemade soap. What do you recommend?

I would recommend starting with a basic recipe for soap that uses lye, which is a caustic chemical compound that can be dangerous if not handled correctly. You can find many recipes online and in books. Once you have the basic ingredients, you will need to mix them together and heat the mixture until it reaches a certain temperature. Then you can pour the soap into molds and let it cool before removing it from the mold. Finally, add any essential oils or fragrances of your choice and package it up!
