I've always wanted to learn how to make soap. Is it hard to make?

It can be a bit tricky, but with the right tools and guidance you can definitely make your own soap! You'll need to gather some supplies like lye (a caustic alkali), fats (like vegetable oil or coconut oil), water, and a mold. Then mix together the lye and fat in a pot until it reaches a temperature of about 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. Once that's done, add in the water and stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Pour the mixture into the mold and let it cool before removing from the mold. Finally, you can add any desired scents or colors to the finished product.
