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.
