I want to make my own soap. What should I look for in a good soap recipe?

Look for a recipe that includes lye, water, and oils such as coconut oil or olive oil. Make sure the ratio of these ingredients is correct. You may also want to include essential oils for scent if you wish. Be sure to read through the entire recipe carefully before beginning. Additionally, it's important to use gloves when handling lye, and to follow safety guidelines while working with it.
